      😂 this really annoys me on Quora. I never understood why one feels the necessity to do so.

      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.

        Hey, it can be one if you believe it! It’s well-deserved commendation for your contribution to the Fediverse.

    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.

      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)

      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.

        It never bothered me per se, but it’s definitely awkward to come across some chapter of human suffering on r/HistoryPorn.

      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.”

          Voat, when it was still around, had this same discussion and settled on using _Pix for everything.

            What a wild site that was, some real loons were on it, but I did appreciate the fact it wasn’t so overly moderated. At the end though it just felt like a sanctuary of hate that had driven out most of the sane people.

          Indeed. I like ‘Earthporn’ too, but I think it should be all nature pictures that look like genitalia and suchlike. Rocks or trees that look like penises for example.

    Up votes. Actually wait a minute.

    In all seriousness, any dumb, little thought out comments.

    I would like to hope Lemmy is the Reddit of old before the masses ruined it.

    I’m loving Lemmy right now.

    Photos of people’s wives or girlfriends - often taken without their wife or girlfriend’s consent - playing video games, with vaguely condescending titles about it “only being the Sims / Animal Crossing” and half the replies being absolutely vile. As a Woman Who Plays Video Games, it was awfully annoying.

    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’

    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.

      I will counter this with:

      a male dominated sub that took any female participation as a tacit invitation to harassment. r/bodybuilding, I’m looking at you.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      people can be experiencing critical emergencies in those vehicles, hoping to get somewhere in time.

      i cant encourage people to run over others with their vehicles, but we also cant pretend like highway protests dont invite other major problems

        If your protest isn’t disrupting shit, you are doing it wrong.
        For example, I really really hate broken windows, but when French go smash shit on Champs-Élysées they are doing the right thing (most of the time).

        Protestors generally move for emergency vehicles and drivers who call out to them and say they have an emergency themselves.

          What protestors are those? Because here in Latin America you are screwed if my right to protest is getting superceded by your right to free circulation.
