Cringe horny sexual questions on the main page every day: Reddit, what sound do you like to hear when you do the sex with your female partner? (and the post has 999999 upvotes and 99999 comments)

TIFU by sexing the sex when I sexed my sexy sexer.

[–] OreoCat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Ads and rage bait content farm

So I poured steaming hot Chili on my grandmothers head for not commenting positively on my new suspenders... AITA?

[–] DrTeeth@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I’m feeling insecure and shy, please rate my anus.

[–] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 1 points 2 years ago

Just general karma whoring...

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The general attitude that people have where they need to be right at all costs and will insult you for thinking otherwise.

Like, it's okay to admit that you're wrong and have your views changed.

Power-tripping users that somehow have access to hundreds of sub-communities and lean heavily on automodding and just reacting by absolutes because they lack problem solving skills.

Shitty, unfunny jokes that spiral into lengthy comment chains that are a chore to weed through. Keep that shit on Reddit, because everyone pretends they're some downtrodden, unspoken stand up comedian on there.

Thought policing.

Word policing. Yeah I get that we shouldn't say n***** and stuff. But, why go through the trouble of censoring swears? I mean come on, we've grown up to have the privilege of airing those words out!

[–] DarthTanion@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

An expensive API.

[–] PolarBone@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Stupid drama and community rivalries. And ads in apps.

[–] Nioxic@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

people bot-posting for karma or similar bullshit

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

DAE

Banana for scale

5/7 with rice

Generic ask Reddit threads

All that shit can go to hell.

[–] Zortrox@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago

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.

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

[–] Clbull@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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

Pun threads. They're not clever. They're the same, old, recycled jokes, and they just get progressively worse with every reply.

[–] WolfhoundRO@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Links pointing to Reddit content

[–] Shad0w@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Toxic gatekeeping in communities.

[–] tylenol3@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Slynk@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Corporate shills.

[–] Redonkulation@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] eu8@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Miian@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I'm just tired of the same old jokes. "Uh oh, his shoes fell off, he must be dead."

[–] LollyActionGinger@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Other Redditors. Can we just be on Lemmy and move the fuck on?

[–] CustodialTeapot@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] holycrap@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Shitty repost bots. Actively ban bots pretending to be humans.

[–] warhammercasey@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Jourei@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

[–] MiddleWeigh@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] ImportantCat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Rage bait, Karen videos, violence

[–] Whaler_Shaver@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

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?"

[–] FanciestPants@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] alvaniss@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago
[–] radiosimian@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Least original post: the dumbass comments parroting the same joke from 2018. It's not even bots, it's the zeitgeist and it's only gonna get worse. Insert 'old_man_shouts_at_sky.gif'
