For example, people on Reddit asking redundant questions and give equally redundant or unhelpful answers.
Whenever every ‘What’s the worst show you’ve seen?’ is asked, you’ll get 10,000 “Kardashians” answers, which is just easy karma farming.
If someone posts in a community that’s geared for something like opinions, but someone elects to just go on a full scale rant instead.
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.
I saw one today on that Reddit bot instance of Lemmy titled:
“I like the smell of my vagnina after my boyfriend cums in me.”
I’m not sure if it’s bored teenagers, bots or straight up dumb asses that are posting that garbage, nor why.
Every single time I think about reddit, that picture of a past reddit meet-up appears in my head. 99% were fat, disgenetic, unappealing, unhealthy, weird looking people.
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.
The SFW porn network needs not to be called the SFW porn network. No communities named CarPorn or UniformPorn or, worse, AbandonedPorn or AnimalPorn.
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.
You’re giving them too much credit. Although some are altruistic, many are greedy power hungry scabs who’s entire life revolves around holding whatever merger power they can over others.
I stepped up once and made a sub for a small niche game I liked when none existed. The devs noticed, reached out me with free copies of the game to give away on the sub and everything. Then some power mods got wind of it, made their own subreddit for the game and completely overwhelmed my little sub though cross promotion via their other subs and with their army of alt accounts too.
Most of them don’t want help, their cries are just to elicit sympathy and get free stuff out of it. Power mods are the scourge of Reddit.
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
“You win the internet!” Anything “sir” or “gentlesir” leave that shit in the 2010s
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.
We definitely need a little bit of the cloning and imagination - to get the niche communities on here - which was what I actually used reddit for mostly. The rest was background noise/scrolling.
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.
Probably the biggest one would be needlessly hostile or mocking responses.
Leave the /s at Reddit
…and right here you can see, even Lemmy users can have bad takes!
Going to have to disagree with this one. Saying /s is helpful for people like me who have a particularly hard time with interpreting text in casual contexts like this. Using /s doesn’t change the feel of the comment (at least in my eyes) and helps you understand the tone.
@Cattypat@lemmy.world I agree. Even with the right context, it’s mostly difficult to read a text’s tone. So /s still helps.
Learn how to read context.
Brb, I’m just going to turn my autism off!
The narwhal bacons at midnight, or whatever the fuck it was. Just ask people if they’ve heard of Lemmy lol, we don’t need some code phrase
On the other hand, this was during the time Reddit was the most fun. Granted I thought this was stupid even back then.
The lemmy in the hole spins 3 times counterclockwise.
But only on days that end in Y
Duh right, muh Trump. Take your meds ffs.
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
Once we have critical mass, I think we can have meaningful discussions. However, if 300 million threads users become regulars in these instances, expect the worst of redditism. Every comment will be memes or jokes.
