i can’t stand megathreads – no one reads these! no one wants their posts banished there!
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
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)?
Unfortunately this might not be something from Reddit. It could be universal to all human communities. People want to feel that they are in the right but not be questioned, when countering opposing arguments is the way to truth.
Creative writing presented as truth
Or pics being grounds for sob stories and creative writing prompts to get more upvotes on theur shitty pictures. That’s why I unsubbed from r/pics and subbed to /r/nocontextpics. Cool photos, no sob stories.
It got to the point of feeling like Facebook with strangers. Good for you for graduating college/sucks you broke your wrist/congratulations on getting pregnant, but let’s be real: I don’t know you and I don’t care.
Moderators who coddle bigots.
Bigots.
“Thanks for the gold kind stranger”
Ads.
Fuck ads.
Can we stop talking about Reddit? Let it go.
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…
You are allowed to grieve whatever you feel you lost, even 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.
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)
