Ask Lemmy

Including typos, or just misinformation in post title to get correcting comments, "tricking" the algorithm

Removing posts for no reason. It was damn near impossible to post anything on reddit because it would get "removed by moderators". It was so heavily abused. Boost still showed removed posts on my feed and at least half the posts I opened were "removed" and almost all the good posts were always removed. Fuck reddit.

Sorting by controversial. It became an unhealthy habit for me. Almost like I was enjoying my anger.

All the “helpful” bots filling the comments with annoying messages.

/r/jailbait 🤮

Ads and rage bait content farm

Reposts, and people repeating the same tired jokes over and over.

people bot-posting for karma or similar bullshit

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

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

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

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

Dehumanisation. I feel as though people are increasingly becoming ok with other people being punished for their involvement in something that is genuinely wrong/evil/bad. But the people experiencing the steepest punishments are almost never the people with significant culpability for the wrong/evil/bad decisions.

"Just following orders" might not be a great excuse, but punishing pawns for a king's choices isn't an effective deterrent or remedy either.

People commenting the next part of a song.

It didn't bother me until someone else pointed out that it's pretty cringe, and ever since then I absolutely agree. Like why? We understand you know the lyrics of a very popular song. Why do you need to play a long and type comment the next verse?

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.

The swamps of Degobah.

Toxic gatekeeping in communities.

He Gets Us...

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.

Fucking nazis...

Bots

Awards. At least in Apollo you could hide them.
