Although I'm sure this is highly optimistic, I'd love to avoid the toxic behaviors that were free to grow on Reddit. The most hateful words I've ever read were on Reddit; I'm already seeing it happen here. It would be wonderful if discourse was welcomed here and promoted without all of the toxic back and forth. What was more harmful was a large amount of one-sided bans dealt out by mods of a certain variety. As long as the mods agreed with someone's stance it didn't matter how obscene a comment made, was. Let's try and be better than Reddit in more than one way.

These just sound like the behaviours of your average pudding brain internet user. I don't think it's a Reddit thing, and it will 100% continue in Lemmy.

needlessly hostile "gotcha" type responses that dont take into consideration the end users needs, use cases, or goals.

The arrogance. Already see a lot of it here, unfortunately.

I think part of the problem is that people don't tend to read the comments on anything before they comment themselves. So you get the same old jokes repeated over and over and people thinking their opinions are really niche and groundbreaking when the exact same opinions are all over that same comment section.

What I will miss from Reddit:

• relevant discussions on every minute, niche topic available
• hitting a button and having it usually work (Lemmy growing pains are tough sometimes, I had to try repeatedly to get this comment up)

What I will not miss from Reddit:

• Low quality content, including, to be blunt, images with text (and calling them "memes")
• joke subs in general
• joke subs where the people that joined later don't know it's supposed to be a joke
• silly repetitious comment chains
• "we did it, Reddit!"
• subs that were supposed to be about real advice/drama but were flooded with bad creative writing

Tolerating bigots.

I dont think redundant questions are the problem. But people's historically short responses on reddit definitely were. Responses like "have you tried googling it" or "the question has already been answered, try searching before you post" do nothing but ostracize the person asking and make communities unwelcoming. I would like to see Lemmy more understanding, as to encourage and attract novice individuals in communities they are interested in

This is a redundant question. It's been asked every two days.

Sorry ive seen this question before, its redundant

I feel like before 2015 reddit was way more free speech focused. Now it seems like every sub will ban you because they don't like you politically or you violated rule 15b paragraph 2.

Basically every sub is run by tiny elons with a power trip.

All the hivemind from reddit. The love for random celebrities. Keanu Reeves doesn't care for any of us here. The love for recycling facts everyone already knows. I don't need to read about how the Appalachian mountains go up to Scotland again.

Echo chamber, calling people "redditors", talking about the site as if everyones a community and knows eachother. It contributes to the hive mind. Just talk to people like normal people. Also, the writing style of anyone telling a story- at least the 4chan ">be me" is funny. The reddit style of just adding too much detail, snarky remarks, and the (22M) after every pronoun.

Cake day

We need a new unit of measurement to replace the banana.
