Ask Lemmy

Questions like “When you’re sexing some sexy sex, how many sex do you sex?”

Let’s keep the immature high school/sad old desperate man horniness out of here.

Going to a sub of strictly like minded people and posting popular opinions for karma.

"Thanks for the gold" and other "Edit: this blew up" type bullshit.

Any time someone says "obligatory [anything]" I want to scream.

Probably the biggest one would be needlessly hostile or mocking responses.

How's about they stop trying to migrate Reddit subs over to Lemmy as communities? That would be nice. I don't want a Reddit substitute. I want a new thing that puts Reddit entirely in the past. I want a fresh start, not a Reddit clone. Reddit sucked for a lot of reasons. I could go on and on. Stop replying to comments with "this" as well. But, mostly, I'd like to see people from Reddit moving over to here with zero Reddit nostalgia. Say goodbye to your favorite Reddit subs, stop trying to re-create them over here in the Fediverse. Instead, have some imagination and create new, original communities and kick the whole Reddit vibe to the curb for once and for all.

Centralization of anything. Powermods shouldn't be a thing, and major central instances are a bit sketchy too. No offense to ruud et al.

Shutting down questions with any variation "just Google it" It always irks me when someone goes "bro you know Google exists right" like if I wanted to Google it I wouldn't be asking it here

Reposting.

I would say circlejerking. The Bean meme was very Reddit like, but maybe it is necessary to build an online community to have posts like that?

Edit: added a word and comma.

Edit 1: wow guys thank you so much.

Edit 2: Rip my inbox.

Edit 3: Ok guys Im going to sleep.

Pointless comment trying to be a contrarian to just add /s at the end.

Shut the fuck up

Asking why they're being downvoted when they clearly have more upvotes. Also, starting a comment with "I'm going to get downvoted for this but".

The SFW porn network needs not to be called the SFW porn network. No communities named CarPorn or UniformPorn or, worse, AbandonedPorn or AnimalPorn.

Having spez as CEO

[BLANKS] of Lemmy: "what's the sexiest sex you've ever sexed?"

THIS

Tolerating bigots.

Probably the weirdos that drown in an ocean of their own cum whenever a woman is mentioned.

It's amazing for how much this place is supposed to be decentralized and open, hours much you all want to control messaging, themes, and already are having fight over fight on who to defederate from.

/r/EnoughXSpam

What is the point of a community about hating seeing spam of a certain topic if all the community does is spam about the topic?

Power moderators. There is no justifiable reason for one person to own hundreds of major subs.

Downvotes. If the post/comment is inappopriate, report it. If you disagree strongly with the point reply. If you don’t just move on with your day.

This. So much this.

Cynicism and despair. There are no better words to describe reddit today than these two. Why do they argue endlessly over nothing? Because to them, nothing matters.

You can see that sentiment start popping up in the comments with the newest influx, but I hope sincerity will win out in the end this time.

What I will miss from Reddit:

• relevant discussions on every minute, niche topic available
• hitting a button and having it usually work (Lemmy growing pains are tough sometimes, I had to try repeatedly to get this comment up)

What I will not miss from Reddit:

• Low quality content, including, to be blunt, images with text (and calling them "memes")
• joke subs in general
• joke subs where the people that joined later don't know it's supposed to be a joke
• silly repetitious comment chains
• "we did it, Reddit!"
• subs that were supposed to be about real advice/drama but were flooded with bad creative writing

"You win the internet!" Anything "sir" or "gentlesir" leave that shit in the 2010s

Unfunny puns.
