MODERATORS
 

For example, people on Reddit asking redundant questions and give equally redundant or unhelpful answers.

Whenever every 'What's the worst show you've seen?' is asked, you'll get 10,000 "Kardashians" answers, which is just easy karma farming.

If someone posts in a community that's geared for something like opinions, but someone elects to just go on a full scale rant instead.

The Firefox circlejerk. Anytime something remotely related to the internet was brought up there would be 700 comments about how much better Firefox is. I swear, ever since Google announced killing manifest v2 (which ofc isn't good) half the posts on reddit have been people shilling Firefox.

Opinions about Firefox aside, I hope people can agree the endless circlejerk was getting annoying

Edit: Judging by the speedy downvotes, looks like the Firefox fanatics are on Lemmy too. What a shame, I hate seeing their constant ads.

Although it is true that Firefox posts/comments can get tiring, I think you replied yourself. Google is killing adds-blockers, who knows what will happen with chromium-based browsers. Turns out Firefox has nothing to do with chromium, plus they care for privacy, plus it works great and the list goes on.

I find it obvious people will recommend it, even more here, on Lemmy. If you don't like it, downvote it, keep scrolling or just don't click the post.

I've had that happen to me on Reddit too. Firefox really needs a fork that's similar to Vivaldi IMO. Something that brings the power users back to Gecko since Vivaldi is doing a better job for them than Firefox has in the last few years. They even got on the fediverse before Mozilla did.
