Corporate shills.
The absolutely childish gaming default posts of "hidden gems" that aren't hidden, "ain't much but it's mine" and stale ass memes. Stuff like that makes my eyes roll. Not just the default gaming sub but it started to creep into most places.
c/Xporn when X is not sexual. Like r/foodporn, r/earthporn, or r/animalporn.
I'm just tired of the same old jokes. "Uh oh, his shoes fell off, he must be dead."
Other Redditors. Can we just be on Lemmy and move the fuck on?
Bots. Endless bots where you don't know if the comment or post is a real person. Sign ups need a barrier to filter out bots.
Shitty repost bots. Actively ban bots pretending to be humans.
I can hope it won’t but I know it’s gonna happen anyway - the chronically online mentality that was everywhere on Reddit.
On reddit it always seemed like a lot of people (or at least the most vocal ones) never actually go outside and have this very idealized and unrealistic view on the world.
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.
Links to Twitter. Never had an acct, the site is horrid, and I will not go.
Realistically, everything we dislike on reddit is pretty much unavoidable once there is a certain number of people, outside of being ran by some capitalist shills, hopefully
Rage bait, Karen videos, violence
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?"
Comments that require a, "well, back on Reddit..." explanation. Could include comments about that guy's dead wife. That one kid's broken arms, etc.

Karma, and assholes who intentionally try and misrepresent an OP because he wasn't eating everyone's ass in the first post.
DAE
Banana for scale
5/7 with rice
Generic ask Reddit threads
All that shit can go to hell.
I feel like the lack of karma system will 100% help in this aspect. No reason to comment/post dumb things since you don't really get anything with your post/comment is at the top.
daaaeeeyyy
Politically motivated communities, even if the community has nothing to do with politics
I absolutely hate the love for revenge violence. Stuff like celebration people running over protestors in their cars because they were forced to stop on the road. Or bleeding out after someone got shot when they robbed a store.
This includes that fact that you can basically guarantee every thread contains at least one comment claiming "play stupid games, win stupid prizes"
I haaate "equal rights means equal lefts."
These dudes fantasize about a woman picking a fight with them so they can beat the shit out of one and have it be socially acceptable.
Rampant onlyfans promo on as many communities as possible.
Why are so many people hating on the only fans girls? It's free nudes you get for zero effort. These thots filled every niece subreddit with content. Why not let them get some advertisement from it. That's a win win in my book
Yes and no to an extent. I support them being able to advertise for their stuff somewhere, but subs need to take a stance on what they allow. So much you see on reddit is the same photo x-posted to 50 subs and often not "fitting" into the sub, it just becomes spammy.
Stuff like gonewild becomes wildly different if it becomes just a promotion-sub. Can't there just be that instead?
I love megathreads for when I have to sleep through an event and I want a detailed recap
Power mods. Many of the ones who ran Reddit's biggest subreddits like iBleeedOrange and Awkwardtheturtle were major assholes.
Major Assholes
Petty Tyrants
An actual human sex trafficker (allegedly)
You got anything more about that last one? I've spoken to most of these power mod assholes outside of reddit and I haven't heard a thing about that
One of the most prolific power mods of all time may have been Ghislaine Maxwell. There's quite a bit of circumstantial evidence to suggest so.
Edit: I'm adding a link to an objective, comprehensive analysis of the theory here
Links pointing to Reddit content
Toxic gatekeeping in communities.
r/the_donald or anything like it. Kindly fuck off with all of that shit.
too late.
At least they're hidden on their own instances
And may they stay that way.
Good fuckin' riddance.
/r/MadeMeSmile portrayed toxic positivity which felt out of touch with reality.

“Women of Reddit: what’s the sexiest sex you ever sexed (and why)?”
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.

Hatred towards emojis.
Reddit downvotes anything with emojis. Like why? Do you guys not have friends? Everyone uses emojis these days when texting.
I will admit I used them WAY less before I started dating my girlfriend, but if you try to be social in any way, you will need to just accept emojis.
Plus they look cute, and convey emotions. Not sure what there is to hate? 🤔
If I recall correctly, it wasn't about appending an emoji to the end of your comment like you just did, but rather about the type of comments that would be 50% or more emojis, that for some reason are very prolific on the Internet.
And I would say there were two good reasons for this. First, these comments rarely conveyed much meaning, the emojis were used to exaggerate the emotional message, but little else.
The second (and more serious one) was the decline in English proficiency among native speakers (especially youth) that was ascribed to use of emojis and emoticons.
Google commissioned a study back in 2018 that showed, that most adults are not confident in their own spelling, and blame the emojis for it.

I actually liked megathreads, they usually meant big news and I didn't have to read 20 posts about the same thing.
But what I disliked about reddit was when trolls from some subreddits would spam CP to get other subreddits closed
"cool pictures"
