Look at it like this. How do you think posters would react if you left this comment on every “offending” post taking the community in a direction you don’t like?
The only difference in such a scenario would be volume. If saying something loudly would be badly received, then saying it quietly isn’t much better.
You know that’s a pattern I already observed, on reddit, on /r/cyberpunk. People were posting pictures of cyberpunk cityscape, and scene, and character, both male and female, then more female character, then less and less dressed, until it became the majority of the content. Several users enjoyed it, a lot did not. In the end the discussion resulted in the creation of /r/cyberbooty and everyone was happy.
The difference there is size. Once lemmy is big enough that splitting communities off without it simply killing one or the other is possible, this will be the correct course of action.
In this case, the community you are complaining in doesn’t have enough activity for complaints like the ones on reddit, to make sense.
On Reddit, a couple people trying to push the style of content in a new direction in order to salvage a community by posting themselves, would drown in the sea of content.
On Lemmy, you can become the main contributor of a community overnight.
On Reddit, you can remove 90% of content in a sub and still have the remaining 10% be more content than any one person can consume.

Well hopefully it would fix it.

On Lemmy, that’d simply kill most communities.
