Rage bait, Karen videos, violence

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

Corporate shills.

To stop talking about Reddit. Reddit is dead to me!

The smug, smarmy attitude Redditors are known for even when they're obviously wrong.

Shitty repost bots. Actively ban bots pretending to be humans.

Communities as hashtags.

You know what I want to see start, though? /r/switcharoo. Please please please we need to somehow start a good ol Lemmy switcharoo.

People farming karma on subs like /r/aww.

Like not even reposters. I’m instead talking about the people who camp that sub and ruin threads by criticizing diet, etc.

If you post a photo of a dog that’s even slightly overweight, God have mercy on your cursed soul.

"Thanks for the gold kind stranger!"

all the excessive awards

people making entire threads of stupid puns

Mouseovers that are easy to inadvertently activate and block a massive part of the site

Hatred towards emojis.

Reddit downvotes anything with emojis. Like why? Do you guys not have friends? Everyone uses emojis these days when texting.

I will admit I used them WAY less before I started dating my girlfriend, but if you try to be social in any way, you will need to just accept emojis.

Plus they look cute, and convey emotions. Not sure what there is to hate? 🤔

Toddlerisms like danger noodle (snakes) or velvet hippos (pitbulls I think)

[–] DarthTanion@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

An expensive API.

[–] Nioxic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

people bot-posting for karma or similar bullshit

Politically motivated communities, even if the community has nothing to do with politics

[–] GoofSchmoofer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I really hope that the political communities don't devolve into just useless name calling.

What I like are the comments that discuss the nuances of politics. Why things happen the way they do and the strategies, OR even other people's takes on a topic.

What Reddit turned into was is an ass or is <Stupid/fascists/baby killers> Or is too old and stupid. Nothing of substance just writing the same thing someone else wrote in the last post. Got really boring.

Power mods like that awkward turtle loser
