    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.

      I always thought that was a sign it was astroturfed. Like my post? Give Reddit money!

      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.

      For a second, I seriously thought the fediverse logo next your username was an award 😂

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

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

    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.”

          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.

          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.

      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.

      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)

    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!

    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?”
