Ask Lemmy

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.

Power-tripping users that somehow have access to hundreds of sub-communities and lean heavily on automodding and just reacting by absolutes because they lack problem solving skills.

Shitty, unfunny jokes that spiral into lengthy comment chains that are a chore to weed through. Keep that shit on Reddit, because everyone pretends they're some downtrodden, unspoken stand up comedian on there.

Thought policing.

Word policing. Yeah I get that we shouldn't say n***** and stuff. But, why go through the trouble of censoring swears? I mean come on, we've grown up to have the privilege of airing those words out!

Rampant onlyfans promo on as many communities as possible.

I’m feeling insecure and shy, please rate my anus.

"On mobile, apologies for bad formatting."

As if posting from a mobile device somehow prevents you from using paragraphs and punctuation? Give me a break. You either can't be bothered, which means you're not worth interacting with; or you had to repeat at least a high school English class or two growing up. Either way you need to stop blaming your fucking phone.

Political Propaganda for the upcoming presidential election

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

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

Pun threads. They're not clever. They're the same, old, recycled jokes, and they just get progressively worse with every reply.

Other Redditors. Can we just be on Lemmy and move the fuck on?

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

I happen to love megathreads. When a major breaking news happens I want to discuss it with the community, not read a dozen smaller threads repeating the same.

Just general karma whoring...

Also no trophy's, ever. Unless it's like a Mario Kart Lemmy Tourney. Then sure. But for a sub like that? NOPE.

To stop talking about Reddit. Reddit is dead to me!
