Leftie spaces being overtaken by USSR\China\North Korea stans. That just another win for opponents.

Punctuation-free one-word posts so people can be involved without having to participate.

"Sexy sexers of Reddit, what's the sexiest sex you ever sexed?"

"AITA for saying a single unkind word to the man/woman who keeps me as a literal slave, beats old ladies and kicks puppies in the street?"

I honestly think some a-holes don’t know that they’re a-holes. Perhaps their parents coddled them or instilled it into them, but I think it’s good they find out that indeed, they are the butthole… (though, they should have a butthole icon or a * added to their user name as a reminder).

Power mods. Let's hope all the fediverse instances stick to a max sub limit.

You realize that if things get weird enough at Reddit, they may attempt federation (or at least to pull federated content).

Gif’s that end too soon for “comedic value”but too often just end up feeling suuuper unnecessary and contrived.

Just stop that trend already, please. It’s 2023, not 2016.

Something akin to Against Hate Subreddits, that place is an utter hellhole which is one of if not the most hateful places on the site - hell even the entire internet.

The people who use it are also some of the most insufferable people you'll ever meet on the internet.

I'd also like to not see single power mods rule over hundreds or thousands of different communities, that is also cancer.

Some reddit megathreads have been migrated on to the instance I am currently at

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Paywall articles, or articles from "news sites" that are all opinion pieces marauding as factual reporting

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Circle jerk because of dissenting opinions, regardless of their objective legitimacy, getting downvoted to oblivion

I was going to say 'a community full of really simple questions that should have just been queried via a search engine' (this post is a pleasant exception to what I'm used to ftr), but then I saw what community this was so my final answer will be: Onlyfans ads poorly disguised as relevant material for whatever community.

Tik tok videos

Edit: I never took the time to learn how to spell it

Clearly, you've never been in [email protected] before, have you?
