That new ugly UI.

It's so damn cluttered.

“This.”

I couldn't see anyone else mentioning it so I will. Ads. My mind is at peace without them

Shitty repost bots. Actively ban bots pretending to be humans.

People replying "this"... motherfucker that's what the upvote button is for.

I actually liked megathreads, they usually meant big news and I didn't have to read 20 posts about the same thing.

But what I disliked about reddit was when trolls from some subreddits would spam CP to get other subreddits closed

Greedy CEOs

ads, just that

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? 🤔

I think megathreads are useful for things like an album release or a weekly episode release. It gives a place for conversation to occur without flooding the community with duplicate posts. I think the megathreads you're referring to though are the ones where it's like "New DIY-ers, ask questions here!" I agree that those should stay gone. No one reads them and they aren't helpful.

Those damn comment copying bots. (Or any kind of malicious bot actually..)

Megathreads were an improvement over the same story being posted a hundred times (not an exaggeration).

With regards to the question: the bigotry, the boy's clubs, the tactics to deliberately exclude some members from the conversation. I doubt Lemmy will avoid them wholesale, but maybe they will be curtailed and limited to a few instances.

I'm getting real sick of seeing comments made by someone who clearly didn't read or understand a post/comment. It's hard to tell if it's genuine stupidy and a lack of reading comprehension or a purposeful troll. Either way, it's annoying and I hope to at least see a lot less of it on Lemmy, if not gone altogether.

I realize this basically makes me satan to a lot of redditors so I never talked about it over there, but I HATED the whole cutesy schmoopsy poem shtick a couple of users would do that everyone would upvote to the top of a handful of threads every day. An AI could be churning out that saccharine doggo speak and nobody would ever know the difference, but people go nuts for it.

Witch hunts. Remember the fiasco after the Boston Marathon bombing?

I can hope it won’t but I know it’s gonna happen anyway - the chronically online mentality that was everywhere on Reddit.

On reddit it always seemed like a lot of people (or at least the most vocal ones) never actually go outside and have this very idealized and unrealistic view on the world.

Links to Twitter. Never had an acct, the site is horrid, and I will not go.

Realistically, everything we dislike on reddit is pretty much unavoidable once there is a certain number of people, outside of being ran by some capitalist shills, hopefully

Also no trophy's, ever. Unless it's like a Mario Kart Lemmy Tourney. Then sure. But for a sub like that? NOPE.

The absolutely childish gaming default posts of "hidden gems" that aren't hidden, "ain't much but it's mine" and stale ass memes. Stuff like that makes my eyes roll. Not just the default gaming sub but it started to creep into most places.

Gatekeeping communities. A lot of the niche communities basically would push you away if you don't have the latest or greatest, or if you had a slightly differing opinion than the rest of that community

Karma and all the issues it brings

u/spez

c/Xporn when X is not sexual. Like r/foodporn, r/earthporn, or r/animalporn.

Questions that are almost certainly article writers from Buzzfeed fishing for content… wait a second…

People farming karma on subs like /r/aww.

Like not even reposters. I’m instead talking about the people who camp that sub and ruin threads by criticizing diet, etc.

If you post a photo of a dog that’s even slightly overweight, God have mercy on your cursed soul.
