Ask Lemmy

I don't care about ads on Reddit. They aren't intrusive, although I don't like fake "organic content". I think the worst thing is seeing the same thing over and over again in the same sub, being reposted by bots. It's OK if it's from time to time, but they don't even try to change the title.

I really hope that the political communities don't devolve into just useless name calling.

What I like are the comments that discuss the nuances of politics. Why things happen the way they do and the strategies, OR even other people's takes on a topic.

What Reddit turned into was is an ass or is <Stupid/fascists/baby killers> Or is too old and stupid. Nothing of substance just writing the same thing someone else wrote in the last post. Got really boring.

“doggo wans hugs plz” speak

Rampant onlyfans promo on as many communities as possible.

The smug, smarmy attitude Redditors are known for even when they're obviously wrong.

I also choose this guy's

Powermods and fat hate. Lizzo is more healthy than 95% of the losers that are so intereted into the "promotion of a healthy role model" and I don't see as many people saying anything about the rampant use of drugs or alcoholism there is in the famous people, so come the fuck on!

AskReddit topics:

"Who is a very popular and esteemed actor but actually is pretty bad at acting?"

"What's a cheap thing that is actually expensive?"

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

Gif’s that end too soon for “comedic value”but too often just end up feeling suuuper unnecessary and contrived.

Just stop that trend already, please. It’s 2023, not 2016.

Edit: I never took the time to learn how to spell it

Power mods... Except they are already here and banning opinions they don't like. Good thing it's super easy to make a new account on here.

Paywall articles, or articles from "news sites" that are all opinion pieces marauding as factual reporting

During the final days I spent on the platform, Reddit was starting to become very generic. Many subreddits, despite being about theoretically different topics, devolved into a generic Reddit frontpage community. Even if Lemmy becomes a lot more popular, my hope is that the communities here will stay somewhat distinct and won't become as much of circlejerks.

"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.

I was going to say 'a community full of really simple questions that should have just been queried via a search engine' (this post is a pleasant exception to what I'm used to ftr), but then I saw what community this was so my final answer will be: Onlyfans ads poorly disguised as relevant material for whatever community.

Circle jerk because of dissenting opinions, regardless of their objective legitimacy, getting downvoted to oblivion

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

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
