"is a lengthy time consuming process"
No, it REALLY isn't, and any pig that tells you otherwise is trying to get you to drop the issue so they don't have more paperwork.
They don't give a shit about your stolen items, and 9/10 times it's a complete waste to even contact them over "petty theft", regardless of how valuable the item/s are to you.
Tldr I don't think this is an unpopular opinion.
Cake day?
I have no idea what day I first started using lemmy, or when I made an account. I'm okay not knowing.
As for "karma", do any instances track total karma, or just per-comment? Honestly I don't give a shit if my comments do well or not, I don't live for other people's amusement.
As for other people, I can't speak for them, but I haven't seen anyone crying for lemmy to be more like reddit.
