I could do without all the fascism.
US defaultism, eurocentrism, assuming everyone is male. But I think they are already here.
What you on about, brother? Isn’t this a place on the internet, here thanks to god’s favourite country ? Clearly everyone can relate to the quintessential USA-ian experience!
And what’s that about Eurocentrism, look at a map, Europe is dead center! Asia is to the east and Americas to the west… Relative to Europe!
Oh and here’s a massive /S, just in case…

“My dad spent 10 years molesting me, my mom said to invite him to my wedding, AITA for saying no?”
I was today years old when i was reminded again of this godawful expression.
Constant reposts and lack of any critical thinking or engagement. It is insane to think that every post I have put on here so far, I am new, has had more interaction that the gigantic ‘active’ user base of Reddit.
complaining about a hivemind
Those god awful ads that disguise themselves as posts.
Just one. JUST. ONE.
Communities almost wholly moderated by an automod bot, that is extremely strict about nonsense, and where 99% of posts are strictly forbidden.
“ALL QUESTIONS SHOULD BE IN THE MEGATHREAD!!!1111111111one” and then you peep the megathread, it’s months-full of unanswered questions because no actual community member READS the fucking megathread, and then the excuse is “BECAUZ WE WANT QUALITY CONTENT!!!” and you check the sub itself and the “quality content” is one post every 3 months by the powermod that has the power to override the bot.
This was the most annoying thing about Reddit and made getting conversations going nearly impossible. PLEASE do not bring that over.
I found one subreddit that had no active mods, and a bot that admittedly did a pretty good job, but the subreddit was totally dead as a result.
Suppression of discussion through mega/weekly/monthly threads.
Post requirements that result in posting anything nearly impossible.
Fucking stupid rules for mods to abuse with their dork ass internet powarz.
Clear corporate astroturfing.
Anti-emoji.
I’m not gonna bomb the place with them, but, occasionally if it fits, I’m throwing it in.
Cheers! 🍻
You’ve got 3 emojis in your name… I think you might use them more than most by a decent margin haha.
Do they show on my comments? I only see them on my profile page.
On jerboa, I see 😈 MedicPig 🐷 BabySaver 😈 as your name on all comments
Cool
With sync I see them in your name for every comment you leave.
Cool
I don’t see them with boost.
Me, either.
There’s a lot of emoji haters here
I installed a blocker in firefox.
hell yeah 🤙
This
This.
And my axe!
It was the trite expressions that got blanketed after gaining popularity for me. Lookin’ at you, “fuck around find out/FAFO” 🙄
I’ve never got that joke
It’s a Lord of the Rings reference. Here’s an explanation:
https://www.reddit.com/r/answers/comments/docze/i_give_up_what_does_and_my_axe_mean/Ahhhhhh thanks for empowering me with knowledge
“This” used get downvoted into oblivion back in the day on Reddit.
OH GOD I HATE THAT SO MUCH. I shouldn’t but I do
Edit: Thanks for the upvotes!
edit: Thanks for the gold, kind stranger!
Edit: omg my first gold and it’s about buttholes smh
Edit: you’ll never know why I got these upvotes (more on YT, but I think it applies here also)
The constant chasing of low hanging fruit. Doesn’t matter if it’s seeking the upvotes for a cheap quip on a serious subject or reposting the same old shit trying to get upvotes.
Reposts. We don’t need a constant churn of popularity seekers.
The hive mind. Really bad in big subs on reddit. Probably inevitable in any large online group, but reddit can be unreasonably bad.
Bots.
Dubious and disagree downvotes. But that’s always been here already. That became pretty clear to me pretty fast.
disagree downvotes
What do you expect people use downvotes for then?
Content curation.
I upvote or leave neutral opinions and arguments I disagree with if they’re well argued or otherwise contribute to discussion and strengthen respectful discourse.
I don’t know how you feel when your posts get sum-negative scores, but it makes me feel rejected and makes me not want to participate. I receive it as a social indicator. I see it as something that leads us towards echo chambers.
Yeah, I try to do this as well. I may not agree, but if they’re making an attempt at good faith argument and are holding a position that is not objectively wrong I’ll upvote or at least not downvote. I’ll always upvote someone who appears to accept that they might not have the higher ground. People still voteshame when someone tries to admit reconsidering a position, it sucks because that’a a disincentive to learning. It’s far too easy to emotionally knee-jerk downvote someone just because you don’t like what they said.
Of course, this is pretty subjective…someone can be right and a complete ass and get a downvote or you might disagree for reasons other than the presented info, but so far Lemmy users seem far more inclined to moderate downvotes or at least tolerate some opinions and dish back with rebuttals rather than just mashing downvotes.
