i can’t stand megathreads – no one reads these! no one wants their posts banished there!
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.
Imaging a body builder knocking out an old man or a small boy?People’s outrage would never reach criticality in those cases as men are currently viewed as expendable and a socially acceptable target of hate in general society at large
You’re in a bananas level victim mindset if you genuinely think this. My whole state freaked out because the police shoved an old man over on camera once.
Creative writing presented as truth
Oh man, this is something I definitely hope to never see again. I’m so tired of the unbelievable TIFUs, AITAs, and/or OffMyChests with thousands of upvotes that had obviously-fake stories.
The worst one (in recent history) was that TIFU with the student who slept with their professor’s daughter.

I hope this kind of bullshit never happens here.
And all of the rage bait posts too (including in those subs).
/r/MadeMeSmile portrayed toxic positivity which felt out of touch with reality.
“I made my bed today. First time in 14 years 🙂”
- 45 thousand likes and 2 thousand comments.
Yes I absolutely hated that sub, either like your example or some awful news with a very slightly hopeful element.
“puppy whose legs were destroyed by a landmine learns to love again”
/r/upliftingnews was even worse at this.
Everything could just be reposted to r/ABoringDistopia or r/OrphanCrushingMachine
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.
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.

Rampant onlyfans promo on as many communities as possible.
Why are so many people hating on the only fans girls? It’s free nudes you get for zero effort. These thots filled every niece subreddit with content. Why not let them get some advertisement from it. That’s a win win in my book
Yes and no to an extent. I support them being able to advertise for their stuff somewhere, but subs need to take a stance on what they allow. So much you see on reddit is the same photo x-posted to 50 subs and often not “fitting” into the sub, it just becomes spammy.
Stuff like gonewild becomes wildly different if it becomes just a promotion-sub. Can’t there just be that instead?
Other Redditors. Can we just be on Lemmy and move the fuck on?
“This.”
Edit:Typo.
If an edit changes the context of the comment, then sure, put up an edit note. But no one cares if you erase typos.
“This.”
Shitty repost bots. Actively ban bots pretending to be humans.
People replying “this”… motherfucker that’s what the upvote button is for.
/u/spez
“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.
