    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”

      While that would be ideal and it makes me feel a bit gross when I catch myself thinking the same things sometimes, it’s inevitable. Retribution is one of the easiest ways to exact a punishment, violent or not.

      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.

        I saw one of those just before I left Reddit. A woman slapped a guy with her flat hand (they didn’t show you why) and he knocked her unconscious. And Reddit was celebrating the guy 🤮.

          Riiight? Like, women shouldn’t be hitting people for sure and there should be consequential. But men celebrating that women getting knocked out gives me the creeps. Honestly, if it was anyone substantially larger knocking out someone so much weaker of any gender or age it would be wrong. Imaging a body builder knocking out an old man or a small boy? Very wrong. I think everyine could agree there. But reddit just loves to celebrate this specific brand if violence on women.

    /r/MadeMeSmile portrayed toxic positivity which felt out of touch with reality.

      Yes I absolutely hated that sub, either like your example or some awful news with a very slightly hopeful element.

    When someone would ask a good question that you also wanna know the answer to, but then all the “answers” were just jokes bc everyone wanna get upvotes. I dont really mind jokes but those times it was a bit sad, then sometimes no one would answer for real bc i guess they see 10 replies and assume surely one of them is real already.

    Also repost bots.

    And apple vs samsung feuds.

    And sometimes looked like whenever some people try to organize action or protests, comments just spamming that “protests do nothing” or “voting does nothing,” or “what is this gonna do,” not suggesting any other solution either, almost like trying to encourage apathy? Or discourage action. Sometimes i wondered if those were bots.

    Also the r/wooosh when someone didn’t understand a joke. .-.

      I want users to be able to flag comments as “jokes” or “serious” on lemmy, so it is easy to sort by relevant comment thread. Especially inside jokes.

    A tolerance for the propagation of disinformation.

    Room for disagreements is necessary, but so is stopping people who never cared about agreeing in the first place. Giving the dishonest this freedom has only silenced the honest by burdening them with layers of crap to cut through before their speech is heard.

    Links to Twitter. Never had an acct, the site is horrid, and I will not go.

    Realistically, everything we dislike on reddit is pretty much unavoidable once there is a certain number of people, outside of being ran by some capitalist shills, hopefully

    “On mobile, apologies for bad formatting.”

    As if posting from a mobile device somehow prevents you from using paragraphs and punctuation? Give me a break. You either can’t be bothered, which means you’re not worth interacting with; or you had to repeat at least a high school English class or two growing up. Either way you need to stop blaming your fucking phone.

    “This.” These comments add nothing to the discussion. I get that people want to show their support an argument/content, but that’s what upvotes are for. If you want to show your support for something, then at least try to think of something worthwhile to add to the discussion while expressing your support.
