Help me name my pet, because I have no creatively or originality and am a karma whore.

[-] Guster@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

constant cyclejerk to farm upvotes. also the fact that on reddit if you dont commonet within like 1hr of post creation you have basically no chance of getting top voted / talking on that thread

Entire post that are just a screencap from a tv show with an unedited quote as the title. Those used to flood any show specific sub to the point of annoyance. They add nothing to the conversation.

the black and white mindset... you're either with the hivemind or against. no room for nuanced opinions. someone posts a stupid strawman argument pro abortion/anti billionaire/etc.. you can't point out the flaw in the logic without being called a sexist racist Nazi.

example: some post about how billionaires should pay 35% tax on their net worth, you point out that people are taxed on their income, not possessions, you're a bootlicker

I only want to see the number of upvotes and downvotes like in the olden time.

Circlejerk communities. They almost always end up being worse than the actual places they make fun of.

Just less outrage, more harmony.

Long, thought out posts with replies that consist solely of something like "you're*"

Toddlerisms like danger noodle (snakes) or velvet hippos (pitbulls I think)

Not sure if from Reddit, but I would love to see external links open in a new tab by default.

Businesses, Celebrities, Internet "personalities", parasocial relationships. Anything that turns things into a popularity contest rather than genuine 1 to 1 conversation.

The pile of different dumb awards like "wholesome" or those expensive diamond things.

"The absolute state of this sub", said to imply that it's a delusional liberal/lefty cesspit, contrasted to the right-thinking 'real world'.

Power-tripping users that somehow have access to hundreds of sub-communities and lean heavily on automodding and just reacting by absolutes because they lack problem solving skills.

Shitty, unfunny jokes that spiral into lengthy comment chains that are a chore to weed through. Keep that shit on Reddit, because everyone pretends they're some downtrodden, unspoken stand up comedian on there.

Thought policing.

Word policing. Yeah I get that we shouldn't say n***** and stuff. But, why go through the trouble of censoring swears? I mean come on, we've grown up to have the privilege of airing those words out!
