Clearly, you've never been in !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com before, have you?

Gif’s that end too soon for “comedic value”but too often just end up feeling suuuper unnecessary and contrived.

Just stop that trend already, please. It’s 2023, not 2016.

Circle jerk because of dissenting opinions, regardless of their objective legitimacy, getting downvoted to oblivion

I was going to say 'a community full of really simple questions that should have just been queried via a search engine' (this post is a pleasant exception to what I'm used to ftr), but then I saw what community this was so my final answer will be: Onlyfans ads poorly disguised as relevant material for whatever community.

Paywall articles, or articles from "news sites" that are all opinion pieces marauding as factual reporting

Something akin to Against Hate Subreddits, that place is an utter hellhole which is one of if not the most hateful places on the site - hell even the entire internet.

The people who use it are also some of the most insufferable people you'll ever meet on the internet.

I'd also like to not see single power mods rule over hundreds or thousands of different communities, that is also cancer.

Power mods... Except they are already here and banning opinions they don't like. Good thing it's super easy to make a new account on here.

People constantly asking the same questions, resulting in the same answers.

Oh wow, people wish Firefly wasn’t cancelled? This is certainly new information.

Single opinion echo chamber. I'm sure it'll work it's way back into the fold as folks break out into communities, but I think it's a very dangerous aspect of social media I hope we can get rid of eventually.

Powermods and powermods bullying/stalking you just because you said something they personally didn't like. And no, I'm not talking about racism or politics. This happened over choosing healthy dieting strategies and being active in certain dieting subreddits. Yep.
