i can’t stand megathreads – no one reads these! no one wants their posts banished there!
This may be an unpopular option since I’ve already seen it across lemmy, but the ____porn communities. I’d like to browse pictures of nice landscapes or exotic cars without worry about someone around me noticing “PORN” on my screen.
At this point it seems very old internet, something that made sense when those communities were established, but now is unnecessary gratuitous and not socially acceptable.
I saw a post about a community created here called “pixel passport” which I thought was a hell of a lot better that “earth porn.”
Damn, I had forgotten how obnoxious that was on Reddit. Blocked all of those years ago because it was just unnecessary and a gross way to qualify otherwise unremarkable photos.
Nothing like someone peaking over your shoulder and seeing you’re browsing r/AnimalPorn…
I totally agree with you. Hopefully lemmy can be a little more mature with community names. (Yeah, yeah… I know the hypocrisy of my username… It’s my gamertag)
When people turn a popular post into an Oscars Acceptance Speech
ETA: wow thanks for the upvotes!
ETA2: omg my first gold award?? I couldn’t have made it without my mom and Jesus through whom all things are possible
I also hate “happy cake day”, and “this”. Especially “this”. It’s a worthless comment that adds nothing more to the discussion than a simple upvote.
This
The “hivemind” ignoring the correct information or even worse, encouraging the wrong information.
Does anyone else remember the whole Boston Bomber fiasco (i.e. We did it, Reddit)?
“Thanks for the gold kind stranger”
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.
Creative writing presented as truth
Please don’t let /c/asklemmy become like /r/askreddit, which had half of the front-page posts being the same sex related questions every month.
“Women of reddit, what non sexual thing that guys so makes you horny?”
“What is the sexiest thing you regret doing?”
“How many cocks have you sucked while your cat judges you while waiting for you to feed it?”
It was bullshit.
Moderators who coddle bigots.
Bigots.
Ads.
Fuck ads.
r/the_donald or anything like it. Kindly fuck off with all of that shit.

Karma-whoring. It’s already started with the stupid “upote my can of beans” posts… Dude nobody cares about your internet points, either activity participate or fuck off to Instagram.
Communities with videos of violence and assault, justice porn etc. I hate those, this is honey for conservatives and fascists, they love it and it disgusts me.
People who don’t know/acknowledge the difference between “free speech” and “hate speech”
I’m feeling insecure and shy, please rate my anus.
