Those god awful ads that disguise themselves as posts.
Charging developers for API access after they go out of their way to make products that greatly improve the experience.
All the tired puns or jokes about Nazis/Hitler. "Anne Frankly, I did Nazi that coming!" "You gotta hand it to Hitler, at least he killed Hitler." Etc.
It's the kind of thing you might chuckle at once, but so many comment threads end up piled with the same brain rot nonsense as people trip over themselves to parrot their quirky internet catchphrases.
“My dad spent 10 years molesting me, my mom said to invite him to my wedding, AITA for saying no?”
- Peops being unnecessarily confrontational towards each other till entire screen just lines
- Stupid stock phrases (man of culture|cake day|kind stranger|calling up votes "updꝏts"|.*)
- Crappy bots with no real utility replying to random comments
- Rudeness to light mode users , r/chargeyourphone
- Ableist subs like ⦅system|fakedisorder)cringe|illnessfakers|raisedbyn●●●●●●●●●s|BPDlovedones|.*)
- Rage bait posts like that one cake AITA post (no way it's real)
- Karma requirements for subs like r/assistance . Dear god fckin HOPE karma dœsn't get added to lemmy …
Already answered similar thread to this one 2 yrs ago , but threadiverse changed somewhat since then . Had different answers some of them already made their way here since , so gave different answers this time
I could do without all the fascism.
Just one. JUST. ONE.
Communities almost wholly moderated by an automod bot, that is extremely strict about nonsense, and where 99% of posts are strictly forbidden.
"ALL QUESTIONS SHOULD BE IN THE MEGATHREAD!!!!!!!!1111111111one" and then you peep the megathread, it's months-full of unanswered questions because no actual community member READS the fucking megathread, and then the excuse is "BECAUZ WE WANT QUALITY CONTENT!!!!!!" and you check the sub itself and the "quality content" is one post every 3 months by the powermod that has the power to override the bot.
This was the most annoying thing about Reddit and made getting conversations going nearly impossible. PLEASE do not bring that over.
complaining about a hivemind
All that wholesome keanu chungus shit, wholesome 100.
Suppression of discussion through mega/weekly/monthly threads.
Post requirements that result in posting anything nearly impossible.
Fucking stupid rules for mods to abuse with their dork ass internet powarz.
Clear corporate astroturfing.
The constant chasing of low hanging fruit. Doesn’t matter if it’s seeking the upvotes for a cheap quip on a serious subject or reposting the same old shit trying to get upvotes.
Reposts. We don’t need a constant churn of popularity seekers.
The hive mind. Really bad in big subs on reddit. Probably inevitable in any large online group, but reddit can be unreasonably bad.
Bots.
Karma and comment requirements to participate in communities. Plus how hard it is for your submission to actually be approved.
This one is inevitable but people going through your whole comment history when arguing with you.
Constant reposts and lack of any critical thinking or engagement. It is insane to think that every post I have put on here so far, I am new, has had more interaction that the gigantic 'active' user base of Reddit.
Mod impunity, brigading, bots, reposts, repost bots, banning of 3rd-party apps, abuse of suicide prevention system by bad actors. Aside from the forum-specific culture, the site's frequent failure to upload/post comments, which sometimes resulted in 100% loss of more detailed responses, was incredibly disappointing (I'm still Ctr-C'ing all comments everywhere as a force of habit to guarantee it won't happen 5+ times/day).
Outrageous and inflammatory comments just to karma farm if that's even a thing here.
