Ask Lemmy

Putting the word “porn” in community titles for anything involving photography or gfx. It’s immature and unnecessarily crude. I think it’s too late though.

This

Edit: Thanks for the upvotes!

Karma-farming. Please lets just be our genuine, authentic, awful selves.

fucking cake days

Those god awful ads that disguise themselves as posts.

Charging developers for API access after they go out of their way to make products that greatly improve the experience.

All the tired puns or jokes about Nazis/Hitler. "Anne Frankly, I did Nazi that coming!" "You gotta hand it to Hitler, at least he killed Hitler." Etc.

It's the kind of thing you might chuckle at once, but so many comment threads end up piled with the same brain rot nonsense as people trip over themselves to parrot their quirky internet catchphrases.

Novelty/troll accounts. I've seen a lot of them pop up on Reddit over the years. The most infamous one I remember was one called Gradual_****** (yes, the n-word) that would type out ordinary replies that would gradually switch to ebonics.

Every single comment thread on anything that reaches r/all quickly devolving into the most unfunny and unoriginal jokes and/or references. Regardless of how grim/serious the original post was.

Just commenting 'this' to show an agreement.

Anti-emoji.

I'm not gonna bomb the place with them, but, occasionally if it fits, I'm throwing it in.

Cheers! 🍻

“My dad spent 10 years molesting me, my mom said to invite him to my wedding, AITA for saying no?”

• Peops being unnecessarily confrontational towards each other till entire screen just lines
• Stupid stock phrases (man of culture|cake day|kind stranger|calling up votes "updꝏts"|.*)
• Crappy bots with no real utility replying to random comments
• Rudeness to light mode users , r/chargeyourphone
• Ableist subs like ⦅system|fakedisorder)cringe|illnessfakers|raisedbyn●●●●●●●●●s|BPDlovedones|.*)
• Rage bait posts like that one cake AITA post (no way it's real)
• Karma requirements for subs like r/assistance . Dear god fckin HOPE karma dœsn't get added to lemmy …

Already answered similar thread to this one 2 yrs ago , but threadiverse changed somewhat since then . Had different answers some of them already made their way here since , so gave different answers this time

Just one. JUST. ONE.

Communities almost wholly moderated by an automod bot, that is extremely strict about nonsense, and where 99% of posts are strictly forbidden.

"ALL QUESTIONS SHOULD BE IN THE MEGATHREAD!!!!!!!!1111111111one" and then you peep the megathread, it's months-full of unanswered questions because no actual community member READS the fucking megathread, and then the excuse is "BECAUZ WE WANT QUALITY CONTENT!!!!!!" and you check the sub itself and the "quality content" is one post every 3 months by the powermod that has the power to override the bot.

This was the most annoying thing about Reddit and made getting conversations going nearly impossible. PLEASE do not bring that over.

I could do without all the fascism.

Being a jerk and the hive mind

I'm not a fan of 'starter packs'

complaining about a hivemind

US defaultism, eurocentrism, assuming everyone is male. But I think they are already here.

All that wholesome keanu chungus shit, wholesome 100.

Suppression of discussion through mega/weekly/monthly threads.

Post requirements that result in posting anything nearly impossible.

Fucking stupid rules for mods to abuse with their dork ass internet powarz.

Clear corporate astroturfing.

“Leopard-face” replies masquerading as a substantive comment that adds something to the discussion.

It’s really no better than: “This”

I was today years old when i was reminded again of this godawful expression.

Buncha reddit cringe like:

"The narwhal bacons at midnight" "Owling"

I cannot abide that shit.
