Questions like “When you’re sexing some sexy sex, how many sex do you sex?”
Let’s keep the immature high school/sad old desperate man horniness out of here.
Jesus, yes. I can't tell you how many subreddits got swamped with high-school leveled questions about sex.
Especially in TooAfraidToAsk, which is supposed to be about questions that'd normally be about trying to ask taboo things to get a discussion. But no, you'll come across questions like "if there is no porn to look at, what do you look at instead while jerking off in the shower?". Like, besides trolls, who the hell comes up with some questions like that? Let's not forget the abundance of people, showcasing the lack of sexual education, asking if they'd get HPV by doing this or HIV by doing that.
I feel bad because clearly these poorly educated teenagers need answers to these questions. But it really drags down the level of discourse.
And not just regarding sex, but any other "oh you're obviously 14" takes.
Adding to this, I'd love to never see the phrase "Sexy Time" ever again
Ugh there are so many phrases I cannot stand from reddit. "thanks for the gold kind stranger" makes me want to throw my computer out of the window.
Going to a sub of strictly like minded people and posting popular opinions for karma.
"Thanks for the gold" and other "Edit: this blew up" type bullshit.
Any time someone says "obligatory [anything]" I want to scream.
Unpopular opinion: [incredibly popular opinion]
+67,000 upvotes
Oh God I hope award speech edits don't make it over here
That's the fate of, ironically, a subreddit called UNPOPULARopinions.
"Beyonce is overrated!" - just throw them the lifetime achievement award for "unpopular". /s
Probably the biggest one would be needlessly hostile or mocking responses.
Wow, this was my first thought as well. I wonder if it would help to have an etiquette manual with examples of how to disagree respectfully.
How's about they stop trying to migrate Reddit subs over to Lemmy as communities? That would be nice. I don't want a Reddit substitute. I want a new thing that puts Reddit entirely in the past. I want a fresh start, not a Reddit clone. Reddit sucked for a lot of reasons. I could go on and on. Stop replying to comments with "this" as well. But, mostly, I'd like to see people from Reddit moving over to here with zero Reddit nostalgia. Say goodbye to your favorite Reddit subs, stop trying to re-create them over here in the Fediverse. Instead, have some imagination and create new, original communities and kick the whole Reddit vibe to the curb for once and for all.
Disagree — while the larger communities tended to get kind of lame, Reddit’s smaller communities were quite worthwhile. I want that to continue, just not on Reddit.
I'm really not talking about smaller communities. I'm talking about the ones that made the Reddit brand. Like AITA, for example. A lot of the smaller communities could be discussion boards anywhere because they're so small and they are a niche. If there was an Aardvark Lovers sub on Reddit, I'm all in for an Aardvark Lovers sub on Lemmy. Do I really want to see a lot of the same big subs? No. A lot of what I see on YSK is stuff I don't need to know, don't care about, didn't change my life or affect me at all, whether it's on Reddit or Lemmy. My point, which you did not get, is that I don't want a Reddit clone.
Centralization of anything. Powermods shouldn't be a thing, and major central instances are a bit sketchy too. No offense to ruud et al.
The problem with power mods is that it's a thankless job that people do for free. You're not exactly getting a line of people out the door willing to take up the mantle, so a small group of power users end up taking on more and more.
Reposting.
There's two kinds of resposting:
"honest" resposting that happens when the OP hasn't seen his submission previously posted.
karma-whore resposting that happens when someone wants to get those sweet internet points.
Without karma the second one may not be a problem at all ¯\(ツ)/¯
Reposting
Have an upvote and absolutely meaningless award in form of an icon that I need to pay for first. Kind sir.
Low-effort repetitive comment chains too, preferably.
Long comment chains of song lyrics where each comment adds another line. They can fuck right off.
Shutting down questions with any variation "just Google it" It always irks me when someone goes "bro you know Google exists right" like if I wanted to Google it I wouldn't be asking it here
Sometimes the question isn't about the answer but about the interaction.
I would say circlejerking. The Bean meme was very Reddit like, but maybe it is necessary to build an online community to have posts like that?
I kind of enjoy the circlejerking to an extent. It’s like watching fads come and go in real time, and I like seeing these dumb memes evolve over a week or two before disappearing
Edit: added a word and comma.
Edit 1: wow guys thank you so much.
Edit 2: Rip my inbox.
Edit 3: Ok guys Im going to sleep.
Pointless comment trying to be a contrarian to just add /s at the end.
Shut the fuck up
Asking why they're being downvoted when they clearly have more upvotes. Also, starting a comment with "I'm going to get downvoted for this but".
With the first one, there are bots that will try to control the conversation by downvoting one side before people with a brain read the comments.
Usually, the person asking about the downvotes don't change their comments after the initial barrage.
Having spez as CEO
[BLANKS] of Lemmy: "what's the sexiest sex you've ever sexed?"
Downvotes. If the post/comment is inappopriate, report it. If you disagree strongly with the point reply. If you don’t just move on with your day.
Power moderators. There is no justifiable reason for one person to own hundreds of major subs.
Probably the weirdos that drown in an ocean of their own cum whenever a woman is mentioned.
It's amazing for how much this place is supposed to be decentralized and open, hours much you all want to control messaging, themes, and already are having fight over fight on who to defederate from.
This. So much this.
What I will miss from Reddit:
What I will not miss from Reddit:
Unfunny puns.
I actually liked those, probably because I also do a lot of dad jokes irl. I didn't know so many people were annoyed by them.
