Power mods. Many of the ones who ran Reddit's biggest subreddits like iBleeedOrange and Awkwardtheturtle were major assholes.

Power mods... Except they are already here and banning opinions they don't like. Good thing it's super easy to make a new account on here.
Nothing like recreating a class of elites that work to guide the flow of public discourse in our digital spaces as well! It works so well in real life, why deviate from the formula?
I just really disliked seeing the same names over and over weaponizing their pettiness.

Karma, and assholes who intentionally try and misrepresent an OP because he wasn't eating everyone's ass in the first post.
All the “helpful” bots filling the comments with annoying messages.
It's also been nice not seeing the usual references in every single thread such as, broken arms, coconuts, this, endless comment chains of "nice", etc, I think you get the point.
Edit - Thanks for the gold kind stranger! This post really blew up! Can't believe my top comment is this!
Stupid drama and community rivalries. And ads in apps.
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.

r/Piracy’s megathread was very useful
Ads and rage bait content farm
Toxic gatekeeping in communities.

Crappy mods and the ignorant, egotistical attitude that plagued reddit for years, making it the laughingstock of the internet.
constant cyclejerk to farm upvotes. also the fact that on reddit if you dont commonet within like 1hr of post creation you have basically no chance of getting top voted / talking on that thread
'story time!'
The
- Abraham Lincoln
- Michael Scott
That stuff, it's so dumb.
Also, "Username checks out"
Goatsee
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.

Prison rape jokes.
Yeah i agree. It was a very sad thing. And even worse to make light of when you consider the number of people who become imprisoned for minor things or even wrongly. If prison rpe is so prevalent as Reddit jokes made it seem, it wouldn't only happen to people who those making the jokes believe 'deserve it' (which, also, is awful to think about rpe.) I remember learning in class about David Milgaard, and he wrote about his experiences, including that violation. I wonder if those who joked "they'll love (random young guy in publicfreakouts video) in prison" even know or care how awful r*pe really is. It's really something that should be prevented.
