i can’t stand megathreads – no one reads these! no one wants their posts banished there!
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.
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
This.
ETA: thanks for one upvote!😃
ETA2: thanks for two upvotes!😀😀

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.”
I really like that name. Way better than Earthporn. Thank you for sharing, I subscribed!

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.
EarthPixels. CarPixels. PornPixels. HistoryPixels. This could work.
Voat, when it was still around, had this same discussion and settled on using _Pix for everything.
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)
There is (was?) a ”nosillysuffix” sub that would aggregate all those *porn subs.

Can we stop talking about Reddit? Let it go.

(I’m so sorry. I couldn’t resist)
You maybe should have tried harder to resist.
Hey people grieve at different speeds. Some people got to acceptance on the same day, others are still in denial.
…there is nothing to grieve…it is a website…
I was a daily reddit user since 2008. I don’t know anything else. The withdrawal symptoms were absolutely brutal until I figured out how Lemmy works.
Leaving reddit was harder than quitting nicotine. Let me grieve.
You are allowed to grieve whatever you feel you lost, even a website.

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.

All that shit can go to hell.
daaaeeeyyy
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.
The ragebait fake text message screenshots that plague subs like antiwork.
Wow, your dickhead boss is stupid enough to put all of that in writing and has the exact same style of writing, spelling and grammar as you do? Isn’t that a coincidence!

This is posted in sarcasm as I always hated that kind of response
“Sir, you have just won the internet” “Thanks for the gold kind stranger” “I too choose this guy’s [placeholder]” And the other corny overused reddit lines
“Came here to say this”
Also, while I will tolerate it, I hope we tone down the doggo speak
My cat didn’t get any love over on insert community name here. I hope you guys updoot me more than they did.
updoot
WORST.
/r/MadeMeSmile portrayed toxic positivity which felt out of touch with reality.
