The pile of different dumb awards like "wholesome" or those expensive diamond things.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

the black and white mindset... you're either with the hivemind or against. no room for nuanced opinions. someone posts a stupid strawman argument pro abortion/anti billionaire/etc.. you can't point out the flaw in the logic without being called a sexist racist Nazi.

example: some post about how billionaires should pay 35% tax on their net worth, you point out that people are taxed on their income, not possessions, you're a bootlicker

Questions that are almost certainly article writers from Buzzfeed fishing for content… wait a second…
