Constant reposts and lack of any critical thinking or engagement. It is insane to think that every post I have put on here so far, I am new, has had more interaction that the gigantic ‘active’ user base of Reddit.
Too late. They all already came, minus the centralization issue.
I was today years old when i was reminded again of this godawful expression.
complaining about a hivemind
“My dad spent 10 years molesting me, my mom said to invite him to my wedding, AITA for saying no?”
Random persons(bots) writing their story of their life in comments. Karma farming, which leads to nothing but trying to show off or push propaganda.
I’ve noticed a lack of “thathappened” type of stories. Either people here value their privacy or don’t feel the need to lie to farm nonexistent karma.
Mod impunity, brigading, bots, reposts, repost bots, banning of 3rd-party apps, abuse of suicide prevention system by bad actors. Aside from the forum-specific culture, the site’s frequent failure to upload/post comments, which sometimes resulted in 100% loss of more detailed responses, was incredibly disappointing (I’m still Ctr-C’ing all comments everywhere as a force of habit to guarantee it won’t happen 5+ times/day).
Just one. JUST. ONE.
Communities almost wholly moderated by an automod bot, that is extremely strict about nonsense, and where 99% of posts are strictly forbidden.
“ALL QUESTIONS SHOULD BE IN THE MEGATHREAD!!!1111111111one” and then you peep the megathread, it’s months-full of unanswered questions because no actual community member READS the fucking megathread, and then the excuse is “BECAUZ WE WANT QUALITY CONTENT!!!” and you check the sub itself and the “quality content” is one post every 3 months by the powermod that has the power to override the bot.
This was the most annoying thing about Reddit and made getting conversations going nearly impossible. PLEASE do not bring that over.
I found one subreddit that had no active mods, and a bot that admittedly did a pretty good job, but the subreddit was totally dead as a result.
Anti-emoji.
I’m not gonna bomb the place with them, but, occasionally if it fits, I’m throwing it in.
Cheers! 🍻
There’s a lot of emoji haters here
I installed a blocker in firefox.
You’ve got 3 emojis in your name… I think you might use them more than most by a decent margin haha.
Do they show on my comments? I only see them on my profile page.
With sync I see them in your name for every comment you leave.
Cool
On jerboa, I see 😈 MedicPig 🐷 BabySaver 😈 as your name on all comments
Cool
I don’t see them with boost.
Me, either.
hell yeah 🤙
Outrageous and inflammatory comments just to karma farm if that’s even a thing here.
“Leopard-face” replies masquerading as a substantive comment that adds something to the discussion.
It’s really no better than: “This”
That
Any kind of automated moderation. If you can’t do the job you volunteered to do, don’t volunteer. If you need more hands and eyes, recruit more mods.
Edit: Thanks for the upvotes!
edit: Thanks for the gold, kind stranger!
Edit: omg my first gold and it’s about buttholes smh
Edit: you’ll never know why I got these upvotes (more on YT, but I think it applies here also)
This
OH GOD I HATE THAT SO MUCH. I shouldn’t but I do
This.
And my axe!
I’ve never got that joke
It’s a Lord of the Rings reference. Here’s an explanation:

It was the trite expressions that got blanketed after gaining popularity for me. Lookin’ at you, “fuck around find out/FAFO” 🙄
“This” used get downvoted into oblivion back in the day on Reddit.
Karma-farming. Please lets just be our genuine, authentic, awful selves.
It helps that we have no karma. Also, some instances bouncing downvotes helps a bit.
What’s bouncing downvotes?
Some servers ignore downvotes from other servers.
