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.

  • Repost spam and karma farmers.
  • Also the bots that simulated activity by reposting the top posts with their highest upvoted comments from a year ago.
  • Cross-site/server bans because you posted in a community that the moderators of the one you are trying to post in don't like. Sadly already happening with many servers defederating from each other.

We need a new unit of measurement to replace the banana.

I have mixed feelings about this one… I’m willing to try on other things for size but no promises

I hope the stupid koala/sunfish/panda copypastas burn with reddit. It was kind of funny at first, but then it started actually convincing people that a bunch of species legitimately deserve to go extinct for... taking up an ecological niche?

Reminds me of how people used to laugh about blobfish. Then they realized that the deep sea fish - adapted to incredible pressure - doesn't take rapid decompression well.

unfunny jokes about windows or dumb random tv show quotes as top rated comments

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.

Lurkers downvoting comments just because they don't agree with the content or whatever.
With votes being public and all, it's very childish and tacky.

The narwhal bacons at midnight, or whatever the fuck it was. Just ask people if they've heard of Lemmy lol, we don't need some code phrase

The lemmy in the hole spins 3 times counterclockwise.
