RPAN or something like that. I don't know why I would go to Reddit for livestreams. I certainly wouldn't come to Lemmy for it, either.

Using autism as an insult. And the r-word. I'm sure I'll see both, but I wish there were a corner of the internet free of mocking people with disabilities.

c/Xporn when X is not sexual. Like r/foodporn, r/earthporn, or r/animalporn.

This isn't a Reddit thing, it's just the English language evolving. The term started in the 1970s. It's present on all major social media platforms.

Political compass meme was a breeding ground for fascists. Who would have thought a sub about reductionist political thought would attract bad actors.

Karma. Chasing a high score leads to shitposting.

The "obligatory" jokes, copypasted every time someone writes a certain thing. I would always downvote them. I am thinking about blocking users that continue that here.

Power mods. Many of the ones who ran Reddit's biggest subreddits like iBleeedOrange and Awkwardtheturtle were major assholes.

Politically motivated communities, even if the community has nothing to do with politics

An expensive API.

I love megathreads for when I have to sleep through an event and I want a detailed recap
