“Women of Reddit: what’s the sexiest sex you ever sexed (and why)?”

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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

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'

Too much politics. During the election on Reddit, everything was either ecstatic “Trump good!” or smug “Orange man bad!” posts with no actual content. My list of blocked subreddits ballooned, and that helped. Maybe I’ll have to do that here.

"Came here to say this"

Also, while I will tolerate it, I hope we tone down the doggo speak

“This.”

AskReddit topics:

"Who is a very popular and esteemed actor but actually is pretty bad at acting?"

"What's a cheap thing that is actually expensive?"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Overzealous mods.

Endless OF spam.

Corporate shills.

Permanent bans. Except for egregious cases, ALL bans should be for a certain number of hours to cool the situation down, and then let it go.

Rampant onlyfans promo on as many communities as possible.

Bots. Endless bots where you don't know if the comment or post is a real person. Sign ups need a barrier to filter out bots.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Communities with videos of violence and assault, justice porn etc. I hate those, this is honey for conservatives and fascists, they love it and it disgusts me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Other Redditors. Can we just be on Lemmy and move the fuck on?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Links to Twitter. Never had an acct, the site is horrid, and I will not go.

Realistically, everything we dislike on reddit is pretty much unavoidable once there is a certain number of people, outside of being ran by some capitalist shills, hopefully

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Corporate shills.

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

I think megathreads are useful for things like an album release or a weekly episode release. It gives a place for conversation to occur without flooding the community with duplicate posts. I think the megathreads you're referring to though are the ones where it's like "New DIY-ers, ask questions here!" I agree that those should stay gone. No one reads them and they aren't helpful.

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

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

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

That new ugly UI.

It's so damn cluttered.

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

Up votes. Actually wait a minute.

In all seriousness, any dumb, little thought out comments.

I would like to hope Lemmy is the Reddit of old before the masses ruined it.

I'm loving Lemmy right now.
