What do you NOT want to see replicated on kbin? (kbin.social)

Or the fediverse in general.

I wanted to ask everyone their personal least favorite communities on reddit.

Whic subreddits do you absolutely not (personally of course) want to see recreated as magazines here on kbin, or as fediverse communities in general?

My pet peeve is CMV. I always felt while the idea seemed doable on the surface, the implementation within that particular subreddit with the delta system, the requirement for the top level comments to oppose the OP even if the "view" is an established expert consensus on something like climate change made it impossible to have meaningful conversations.

I haven't checked if we have a CMV magazine here, but as soon as I see one, I know I'm blocking it.

What is your "instant block" community?

I could do without communities whose primary purpose it is to dump on other groups of people. That means the manosphere and far right subs, but it also means thinks like the various circlejerks and mendrawingwomen. Those kinds of places just serve as echo chambers for rage, and if communities like that start getting popular I'll start a server myself and filter them out for people who don't want to be exposed to it.

Ehhh I'm 50/50 on these. Some of those subreddits are the only good places to get hobby specific memes. Magic the circlejerking for example.

I do understand they tend to foster bullying etc though

I don't know that one very well. But my primary distinction is really be whether it's people making fun of themselves, or people making fun of other people, even within the same hobby. I'm sure there are some subs with "circlejerk" in the name that aren't like that.
