Punctuation-free one-word posts so people can be involved without having to participate.

"Sexy sexers of Reddit, what's the sexiest sex you ever sexed?"

"AITA for saying a single unkind word to the man/woman who keeps me as a literal slave, beats old ladies and kicks puppies in the street?"

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.

I feel that the urban patois of YouTube commentators would lend Lemmy the credibility and gravitas it needs to survive. We should also rename Lemmy something along the lines of Reddit2.0 Rebooted to draw in the premium users. I think the capricious and autocratic style of the Reddit moderation team would improve the discourse and dissuade free thinking individuals from expressing troublesome opinions that contradict the narrative of a quality clickbait shitpost.

Those 1 pushup for each upvote. Like ffs you don't exercise for imaginary karma number

Megathreads were an improvement over the same story being posted a hundred times (not an exaggeration).

With regards to the question: the bigotry, the boy's clubs, the tactics to deliberately exclude some members from the conversation. I doubt Lemmy will avoid them wholesale, but maybe they will be curtailed and limited to a few instances.

Mouseovers that are easy to inadvertently activate and block a massive part of the site
