    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
