i can’t stand megathreads – no one reads these! no one wants their posts banished there!
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.
When people turn a popular post into an Oscars Acceptance Speech
ETA: wow thanks for the upvotes!
ETA2: omg my first gold award?? I couldn’t have made it without my mom and Jesus through whom all things are possible
Karma-whoring. It’s already started with the stupid “upote my can of beans” posts… Dude nobody cares about your internet points, either activity participate or fuck off to Instagram.
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.
Hey people grieve at different speeds. Some people got to acceptance on the same day, others are still in denial.
This! We all mourn at our own pace. Some people may still be at the anger stage.
…there is nothing to grieve…it is a website…
You are allowed to grieve whatever you feel you lost, even a website.
I was a daily reddit user since 2008. I don’t know anything else. The withdrawal symptoms were absolutely brutal until I figured out how Lemmy works.
Leaving reddit was harder than quitting nicotine. Let me grieve.
Yes, Lettit!
Moderators who coddle bigots.
Bigots.
“Thanks for the gold kind stranger”
My cat didn’t get any love over on insert community name here. I hope you guys updoot me more than they did.
Creative writing presented as truth
All I want is that top comments under posts are something insightful and related to the post, and not just the same one liner boring jokes that keep getting upvoted for some reason.
Safe spaces for fascism. Spez let The_Donald and its imitators fester for years, thus turning Reddit into a de facto Nazi Bar. Thus years of harassing non-fascists & minorities, brigading, spouting bigotry, disinformation and toxicity while the admins yawned.
Sponsored posts, banner ads, algorithms, and other advertising-industry fuckery.
A reply that’s just “r/(some subreddit name).”
A robot trying to sell stolen fan art printed onto t-shirts.
People childishly self-censoring non-sweary words. “Sex” isn’t a bad word, but writing “s*x” suggests you probably shouldn’t be allowed on social media at your stage of development.
Comments like:
„This!“
Use the upvote button and shut up.
Came here to say this. Beat me to it.They’re already here. And they’re getting upvoted. I will never understand why anyone would upvote this crap.
This!
This
(you brought this on yourself)
That’s not so much a Reddit thing as an Internet thing. People were saying “this” on forums, 4chan, etc, long before they were on Reddit.
This!
This /s
This!
This 100%
yep, this!
Can we make “that” a lemmy thing instead? Still works and dummies are gonna post these kinds of comments anyway, but at least we can kind of own it.
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.
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.
The “hivemind” ignoring the correct information or even worse, encouraging the wrong information.
Does anyone else remember the whole Boston Bomber fiasco (i.e. We did it, Reddit)?
