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

To stop talking about Reddit. Reddit is dead to me!

All the fake AITA posts.

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.

Horny people from Lemmy, what is the Horniest thing you've....

But it's probably a matter of time.

The fact that reddit and its subreddits became huge echo chambers that downvote and challenge anything that isn't the current public opinion.

Power mods. Many of the ones who ran Reddit's biggest subreddits like iBleeedOrange and Awkwardtheturtle were major assholes.

"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.

I’m feeling insecure and shy, please rate my anus.

Karma whoring bots

_'s of reddit, what is your experience with _?

Not a _, but...

“This.”

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.

Karma. Chasing a high score leads to shitposting.

Ads

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.

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.

Links pointing to Reddit content

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.

Power mods, shadow banning, corrupt admins

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.

Karma farming. Imagine all the people posting content for free.

First comment being, from a automateded bot.

I hope Lemmy won't become far right or far left platform

Official NFTs collectible.

Getting banned by a sub for simply being, or even engaging in another sub!

Corporate shills.

That new ugly UI.

It's so damn cluttered.
