Rage bait, Karen videos, violence

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

onlyfans plugs everywhere

Least original post: the dumbass comments parroting the same joke from 2018. It's not even bots, it's the zeitgeist and it's only gonna get worse. Insert 'old_man_shouts_at_sky.gif'

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

typing out song lyrics

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)

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