Ask Lemmy

/r/jailbait

Also no trophy's, ever. Unless it's like a Mario Kart Lemmy Tourney. Then sure. But for a sub like that? NOPE.

onlyfans plugs everywhere

Shadowbanning.

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.

Evil robots

you know, basic stuff

I couldn't see anyone else mentioning it so I will. Ads. My mind is at peace without them

ads, just that

First comment being, from a automateded bot.

Ads

"Came here to say this"

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

The "obligatory" jokes, copypasted every time someone writes a certain thing. I would always downvote them. I am thinking about blocking users that continue that here.

I can hope it won’t but I know it’s gonna happen anyway - the chronically online mentality that was everywhere on Reddit.

On reddit it always seemed like a lot of people (or at least the most vocal ones) never actually go outside and have this very idealized and unrealistic view on the world.

Rage bait, Karen videos, violence

Stupid drama and community rivalries. And ads in apps.

An expensive API.

people bot-posting for karma or similar bullshit

Ads and rage bait content farm

Toxic gatekeeping in communities.

Power-tripping users that somehow have access to hundreds of sub-communities and lean heavily on automodding and just reacting by absolutes because they lack problem solving skills.

Shitty, unfunny jokes that spiral into lengthy comment chains that are a chore to weed through. Keep that shit on Reddit, because everyone pretends they're some downtrodden, unspoken stand up comedian on there.

Thought policing.

Word policing. Yeah I get that we shouldn't say n***** and stuff. But, why go through the trouble of censoring swears? I mean come on, we've grown up to have the privilege of airing those words out!

Karma, and assholes who intentionally try and misrepresent an OP because he wasn't eating everyone's ass in the first post.

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

The absolutely childish gaming default posts of "hidden gems" that aren't hidden, "ain't much but it's mine" and stale ass memes. Stuff like that makes my eyes roll. Not just the default gaming sub but it started to creep into most places.

All the fake AITA posts.

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

Comments that require a, "well, back on Reddit..." explanation. Could include comments about that guy's dead wife. That one kid's broken arms, etc.

c/Xporn when X is not sexual. Like r/foodporn, r/earthporn, or r/animalporn.

Bots and that awful app

Photos of people’s wives or girlfriends - often taken without their wife or girlfriend’s consent - playing video games, with vaguely condescending titles about it “only being the Sims / Animal Crossing” and half the replies being absolutely vile. As a Woman Who Plays Video Games, it was awfully annoying.
