i can’t stand megathreads – no one reads these! no one wants their posts banished there!
Can we stop talking about Reddit? Let it go.
This
(I’m so sorry. I couldn’t resist)
You maybe should have tried harder to resist.
Please don’t let /c/asklemmy become like /r/askreddit, which had half of the front-page posts being the same sex related questions every month.
“Women of reddit, what non sexual thing that guys so makes you horny?”
“What is the sexiest thing you regret doing?”
“How many cocks have you sucked while your cat judges you while waiting for you to feed it?”
It was bullshit.
The ragebait fake text message screenshots that plague subs like antiwork.
Wow, your dickhead boss is stupid enough to put all of that in writing and has the exact same style of writing, spelling and grammar as you do? Isn’t that a coincidence!
“Sir, you have just won the internet” “Thanks for the gold kind stranger” “I too choose this guy’s [placeholder]” And the other corny overused reddit lines
Ads.
Fuck ads.
Ragebait like noahgettheboat, idiotsincars, publicfreakout. It’s the Jerry Springer of the 2020’s.
This may be an unpopular option since I’ve already seen it across lemmy, but the ____porn communities. I’d like to browse pictures of nice landscapes or exotic cars without worry about someone around me noticing “PORN” on my screen.
At this point it seems very old internet, something that made sense when those communities were established, but now is unnecessary gratuitous and not socially acceptable.
Shitty repost bots. Actively ban bots pretending to be humans.
c/Xporn when X is not sexual. Like r/foodporn, r/earthporn, or r/animalporn.
Rage bait, Karen videos, violence
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?”
I’m just tired of the same old jokes. “Uh oh, his shoes fell off, he must be dead.”
Politically motivated communities, even if the community has nothing to do with politics
The general attitude that people have where they need to be right at all costs and will insult you for thinking otherwise.
Like, it’s okay to admit that you’re wrong and have your views changed.
“Came here to say this”
Also, while I will tolerate it, I hope we tone down the doggo speak
