      You forgot to add the "Edit: " part because they always have to come back and edit every 2 minutes.

      Edit: “Whoa my first gold! Thanks!”

      Edit2: “Wow this is silly, thanks everyone!”

      Edit3: “While you’re here, let me tell you my life story.”

    /r/MadeMeSmile portrayed toxic positivity which felt out of touch with reality.

    “I made my bed today. First time in 14 years 🙂”

      There is a decent argument historically that communism and other left movements are extremist, racist, and anti-lgbtq. When you start banning concepts, you open your communities up to several things.

      1. Group think
      2. Banning of other radical ideologies that you may agree with
      3. You alienate those people from exposure to better concepts
      4. You jump start compaction cycles for large scale propaganda organizations that could lead to actual violence

    “Sir, you have just won the internet” “Thanks for the gold kind stranger” “I too choose this guy’s [placeholder]” And the other corny overused reddit lines

    The ragebait fake text message screenshots that plague subs like antiwork.

    Wow, your dickhead boss is stupid enough to put all of that in writing and has the exact same style of writing, spelling and grammar as you do? Isn’t that a coincidence!

    I actually liked megathreads, they usually meant big news and I didn’t have to read 20 posts about the same thing.

    But what I disliked about reddit was when trolls from some subreddits would spam CP to get other subreddits closed

      Megathreads for news / events I think are great - for me the annoying part were some of the ongoing megathreads; for example some game subs will drown out basically all actual conversation about gameplay because there a “daily questions thread”. I know they might’ve had an issue with repetitive questions, but there’s gotta be a middle point

    This may be an unpopular option since I’ve already seen it across lemmy, but the ____porn communities. I’d like to browse pictures of nice landscapes or exotic cars without worry about someone around me noticing “PORN” on my screen.

    At this point it seems very old internet, something that made sense when those communities were established, but now is unnecessary gratuitous and not socially acceptable.

      I saw a post about a community created here called “pixel passport” which I thought was a hell of a lot better that “earth porn.”

      Damn, I had forgotten how obnoxious that was on Reddit. Blocked all of those years ago because it was just unnecessary and a gross way to qualify otherwise unremarkable photos.

        It just seems so dated.

        It reeks of “this website was funny and relevent in 2009!”

        The problem with the way their site works is that those names are stuck in place now.

    Karma-whoring. It’s already started with the stupid “upote my can of beans” posts… Dude nobody cares about your internet points, either activity participate or fuck off to Instagram.

      A lot of people would just upvote the first bozo to reply with a confident answer and never bother to check for the full story. Scrolling 3 comments down you’d find someone who actually knows their stuff. I learned to at least read most of the comments before committing any Reddit info to memory as fact.

    Please don’t let /c/asklemmy become like /r/askreddit, which had half of the front-page posts being the same sex related questions every month.

    “Women of reddit, what non sexual thing that guys so makes you horny?”

    “What is the sexiest thing you regret doing?”

    “How many cocks have you sucked while your cat judges you while waiting for you to feed it?”

    It was bullshit.
