  Agree with the mod here. The user complains without offering ideas. Sure, the comment was “criticism” but it’s far from constructive or useful.

    ‘Feedback’ does not mean ‘fix my idea for me’. Just because something isn’t your area of expertise doesn’t mean you can’t point out when there are flaws in something. It’s like getting served a dish that tastes horrible, then the restaurant says you can’t complain because you’re not offering a solution.

      Difference: you’re paying for what you eat at a restaurant, you deserve a good meal.

      Lemmy is a free and doesn’t owe any of its users shit. Being a dick to someone trying to make the place better (through “feedback”) doesn’t help anyone here.

        This isn’t lemmy, this is a specific community. And your argument brings us back to the whole issue between mods and community members.

        Being a dick to someone trying to make the place better Members of a community do have a stake in the community, and in this case, are trying to keep the place from getting worse. It’s an open question who the dick is in the discussion, especially since it was an open call for feedback that then subsequently ignored every comment that disagreed with the idea. It very much came across as a call for ‘positive feedback only’.

    People offered plenty of constructive criticism in that thread:

    The mod ignored it and only replied to positive feedback.

      I was only responding to the screenshot as posted above.
