This is (mostly) only in car subreddits, but actual car owners getting insulted and ridiculed for their new car choice by teenagers. I've seen this before on Reddit and this triggers me to no end.

Leftie spaces being overtaken by USSR\China\North Korea stans. That just another win for opponents.

Too much politics. During the election on Reddit, everything was either ecstatic “Trump good!” or smug “Orange man bad!” posts with no actual content. My list of blocked subreddits ballooned, and that helped. Maybe I’ll have to do that here.

You realize that if things get weird enough at Reddit, they may attempt federation (or at least to pull federated content).

Power mods. Let's hope all the fediverse instances stick to a max sub limit.

Circle jerk because of dissenting opinions, regardless of their objective legitimacy, getting downvoted to oblivion

Some reddit megathreads have been migrated on to the instance I am currently at

Something akin to Against Hate Subreddits, that place is an utter hellhole which is one of if not the most hateful places on the site - hell even the entire internet.

The people who use it are also some of the most insufferable people you'll ever meet on the internet.

I'd also like to not see single power mods rule over hundreds or thousands of different communities, that is also cancer.

Paywall articles, or articles from "news sites" that are all opinion pieces marauding as factual reporting

I was going to say 'a community full of really simple questions that should have just been queried via a search engine' (this post is a pleasant exception to what I'm used to ftr), but then I saw what community this was so my final answer will be: Onlyfans ads poorly disguised as relevant material for whatever community.

Gif’s that end too soon for “comedic value”but too often just end up feeling suuuper unnecessary and contrived.

Just stop that trend already, please. It’s 2023, not 2016.
