The smug, smarmy attitude Redditors are known for even when they're obviously wrong.
I love megathreads for when I have to sleep through an event and I want a detailed recap
Power mods. Many of the ones who ran Reddit's biggest subreddits like iBleeedOrange and Awkwardtheturtle were major assholes.
I happen to love megathreads. When a major breaking news happens I want to discuss it with the community, not read a dozen smaller threads repeating the same.
Using autism as an insult. And the r-word. I'm sure I'll see both, but I wish there were a corner of the internet free of mocking people with disabilities.
The fact that reddit and its subreddits became huge echo chambers that downvote and challenge anything that isn't the current public opinion.
Horny people from Lemmy, what is the Horniest thing you've....
But it's probably a matter of time.
Overzealous mods.
Endless OF spam.
Corporate shills.
Permanent bans. Except for egregious cases, ALL bans should be for a certain number of hours to cool the situation down, and then let it go.
"This." These comments add nothing to the discussion. I get that people want to show their support an argument/content, but that's what upvotes are for. If you want to show your support for something, then at least try to think of something worthwhile to add to the discussion while expressing your support.
Karma whoring bots
During the final days I spent on the platform, Reddit was starting to become very generic. Many subreddits, despite being about theoretically different topics, devolved into a generic Reddit frontpage community. Even if Lemmy becomes a lot more popular, my hope is that the communities here will stay somewhat distinct and won't become as much of circlejerks.
Hatred towards emojis.
Reddit downvotes anything with emojis. Like why? Do you guys not have friends? Everyone uses emojis these days when texting.
I will admit I used them WAY less before I started dating my girlfriend, but if you try to be social in any way, you will need to just accept emojis.
Plus they look cute, and convey emotions. Not sure what there is to hate? 🤔
Spez
racism/sexism/any sort of hatred really, including hate based on culture (assuming no one is being harmed—but criticism should be rooted in compassion and justice for victims not hatred of perpetrators) or nationality. Many redditors just want an “approved” target for their hatred and aren’t trying to actually advocate for any victims. Oftentimes, they don’t even have any personal stake in the matter which raises the question of why they’re so invested in hating their target, like bringing it up on unrelated threads.
“Happy cake day”
Treating social media apps/sites as if they’re religions
"and my axe" "sir this is a Wendy"s" "Now kith" "Take my angry upvote" The pun chains, and song lyric comment chains that you have to scroll through just to see the first relevant comment. And always in the middle of those chains is something like. "This is why I love Reddit". Well, you can keep it. I do hope Schnoodle moves over here though.
Edit:Typo.
If an edit changes the context of the comment, then sure, put up an edit note. But no one cares if you erase typos.
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.
Bots. Endless bots where you don't know if the comment or post is a real person. Sign ups need a barrier to filter out bots.
