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

Moderators who coddle bigots.

Bigots.

"Thanks for the gold kind stranger"

Can we stop talking about Reddit? Let it go.

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.

Creative writing presented as truth

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.

I absolutely hate the love for revenge violence. Stuff like celebration people running over protestors in their cars because they were forced to stop on the road. Or bleeding out after someone got shot when they robbed a store.

This includes that fact that you can basically guarantee every thread contains at least one comment claiming "play stupid games, win stupid prizes"

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)?

r/the_donald or anything like it. Kindly fuck off with all of that shit.

Comments like:

„This!“

Use the upvote button and shut up.

People who don’t know/acknowledge the difference between “free speech” and “hate speech”

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.

When someone would ask a good question that you also wanna know the answer to, but then all the "answers" were just jokes bc everyone wanna get upvotes. I dont really mind jokes but those times it was a bit sad, then sometimes no one would answer for real bc i guess they see 10 replies and assume surely one of them is real already.

Also repost bots.

And apple vs samsung feuds.

And sometimes looked like whenever some people try to organize action or protests, comments just spamming that "protests do nothing" or "voting does nothing," or "what is this gonna do," not suggesting any other solution either, almost like trying to encourage apathy? Or discourage action. Sometimes i wondered if those were bots.

Also the r/wooosh when someone didn't understand a joke. .-.

Cringe horny sexual questions on the main page every day: Reddit, what sound do you like to hear when you do the sex with your female partner? (and the post has 999999 upvotes and 99999 comments)

/r/MadeMeSmile portrayed toxic positivity which felt out of touch with reality.

"I made my bed today. First time in 14 years 🙂"

• 45 thousand likes and 2 thousand comments.

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!

My cat didn't get any love over on insert community name here. I hope you guys updoot me more than they did.

Ads.

Fuck ads.

"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

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

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.

Ragebait like noahgettheboat, idiotsincars, publicfreakout. It’s the Jerry Springer of the 2020’s.

Karma. I feel like that will push Lemmy in a way that isn't healthy.

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.

u/spez

Pun threads. They're not clever. They're the same, old, recycled jokes, and they just get progressively worse with every reply.

/u/spez

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.

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.

Just general karma whoring...

Thanks for the gold kind stranger

I love megathreads for when I have to sleep through an event and I want a detailed recap

Rampant onlyfans promo on as many communities as possible.

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

Political compass meme was a breeding ground for fascists. Who would have thought a sub about reductionist political thought would attract bad actors.

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

All the fake AITA posts.
