Ask Lemmy

Power Mad Mods. The ones in r/StarTrek were horrible, banning people for any “negativity” and actually banning people for what they said in other subreddits.

I really hope that the political communities don't devolve into just useless name calling.

What I like are the comments that discuss the nuances of politics. Why things happen the way they do and the strategies, OR even other people's takes on a topic.

What Reddit turned into was is an ass or is <Stupid/fascists/baby killers> Or is too old and stupid. Nothing of substance just writing the same thing someone else wrote in the last post. Got really boring.

He Gets Us...

Punctuation-free one-word posts so people can be involved without having to participate.

"Sexy sexers of Reddit, what's the sexiest sex you ever sexed?"

"AITA for saying a single unkind word to the man/woman who keeps me as a literal slave, beats old ladies and kicks puppies in the street?"

"Thanks for the gold kind stranger!"

all the excessive awards

people making entire threads of stupid puns

typing out song lyrics

that dumb broken arms thing

/u/Spez

Snarkiness, snobbery, walking on eggshells, opinion downvotes and in general the unbearable attitude of most redditors.

Toxic gatekeeping in communities.

r/thathappened or any variation of the above, or even stupider, one of those posting the name of the sub and some goofball below asks to be included in the picture of the post that they uploaded to said subreddit

Some subreddit that don't let you post.... question. Why? That's the stupidest thing ever.

I don't care about ads on Reddit. They aren't intrusive, although I don't like fake "organic content". I think the worst thing is seeing the same thing over and over again in the same sub, being reposted by bots. It's OK if it's from time to time, but they don't even try to change the title.

I also choose this guy's

Karma

Bots

A better and less toxic mod relationships to the common users on their subreddits. Dear god its like most of them think they are "King of the World" my brother in Christ you are working for free on website making millions of your labor and you ain't getting nothing. Get your head out of ass.

The Hobby Lobby Jesus scam commercials

Awards. At least in Apollo you could hide them.

r/Piracy’s megathread was very useful

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.
