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.

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

Can we stop talking about Reddit? Let it go.

“Thanks for the gold kind stranger”

Moderators who coddle bigots.

Bigots.

All I want is that top comments under posts are something insightful and related to the post, and not just the same one liner boring jokes that keep getting upvoted for some reason.

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.

Creative writing presented as truth

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”

Comments like:

„This!“

Use the upvote button and shut up.

r/the_donald or anything like it. Kindly fuck off with all of that shit.

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.

People who don’t know/acknowledge the difference between “free speech” and “hate speech”

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)?
