Long, thought out posts with replies that consist solely of something like "you're*"

[-] SharpMaxwell@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Power mods like that awkward turtle loser

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'

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

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

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

people bot-posting for karma or similar bullshit

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

An expensive API.

Just less outrage, more harmony.

I'm just tired of the same old jokes. "Uh oh, his shoes fell off, he must be dead."

[-] DogMuffins@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

Usually, I don't mind the jokes. It's easy enough to ignore them with the rest of the noise.

That said, often something important is posted and all the comments are just dumb jokes - really grinds my gears.

And comment posting bots. Since there's no karma there should be no market value for accounts right? Am I missing something or does that kind of solve the problem? We could still see trolls using Ai to comment randomly

[-] hydra@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Snarkiness, snobbery, walking on eggshells, opinion downvotes and in general the unbearable attitude of most redditors.

[-] skillissuer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

snark is a very useful tool when dealing with frauds and delusional assholes

I realize this basically makes me satan to a lot of redditors so I never talked about it over there, but I HATED the whole cutesy schmoopsy poem shtick a couple of users would do that everyone would upvote to the top of a handful of threads every day. An AI could be churning out that saccharine doggo speak and nobody would ever know the difference, but people go nuts for it.
