“Leopard-face” replies masquerading as a substantive comment that adds something to the discussion.
It’s really no better than: “This”
That
I could do without all the fascism.
Mod impunity, brigading, bots, reposts, repost bots, banning of 3rd-party apps, abuse of suicide prevention system by bad actors. Aside from the forum-specific culture, the site’s frequent failure to upload/post comments, which sometimes resulted in 100% loss of more detailed responses, was incredibly disappointing (I’m still Ctr-C’ing all comments everywhere as a force of habit to guarantee it won’t happen 5+ times/day).
Bad mods
Too late, but at least alternatives pop up more quickly here. I’m not going near any of the 196 coms, but it’s a good example of how little power bad mods here have.
"whyyyy are you sorting by new???
Ironic, considering people sorting by new are almost neccessary for voting to work.
Interesting I just assumed bots and grifters determine what gets voted to the top.
“My dad spent 10 years molesting me, my mom said to invite him to my wedding, AITA for saying no?”
Edit: Thanks for the upvotes!
edit: Thanks for the gold, kind stranger!
Edit: omg my first gold and it’s about buttholes smh
Edit: you’ll never know why I got these upvotes (more on YT, but I think it applies here also)
Karma and comment requirements to participate in communities. Plus how hard it is for your submission to actually be approved.
This one is inevitable but people going through your whole comment history when arguing with you.
Just one. JUST. ONE.
Communities almost wholly moderated by an automod bot, that is extremely strict about nonsense, and where 99% of posts are strictly forbidden.
“ALL QUESTIONS SHOULD BE IN THE MEGATHREAD!!!1111111111one” and then you peep the megathread, it’s months-full of unanswered questions because no actual community member READS the fucking megathread, and then the excuse is “BECAUZ WE WANT QUALITY CONTENT!!!” and you check the sub itself and the “quality content” is one post every 3 months by the powermod that has the power to override the bot.
This was the most annoying thing about Reddit and made getting conversations going nearly impossible. PLEASE do not bring that over.
I found one subreddit that had no active mods, and a bot that admittedly did a pretty good job, but the subreddit was totally dead as a result.
Novelty/troll accounts. I’ve seen a lot of them pop up on Reddit over the years. The most infamous one I remember was one called Gradual_****** (yes, the n-word) that would type out ordinary replies that would gradually switch to ebonics.
A lot of the original ones for year ago were pretty good like shitty watercolour
I really enjoyed the art accounts and shittymorph.
I actually enjoyed some of those accounts, but for sure some of them were annoying.
I recall that from many years ago. Some of the wayward white American culture on that site is definitely off putting. That user was generally received well which says a lot about the soul of a community (or if it even has one).
Charging developers for API access after they go out of their way to make products that greatly improve the experience.
Just commenting ‘this’ to show an agreement.
This
Should have known…
As in, the question at hand, or people just commenting "this?
Just commenting “This”.
Yea, I should have been clearer.
It’s weird, not once have I wanted to comment “this” on Lemmy. But I did it all the time on Reddit. Maybe because I felt a disconnect between voting (rewarding a comment that contributed) and agreeing with the comment.
Maybe the comments on Lemmy are not so knee-jerk and numerous that there’s not a reason to simply show agreement.
Every single comment thread on anything that reaches r/all quickly devolving into the most unfunny and unoriginal jokes and/or references. Regardless of how grim/serious the original post was.
Especially egregious: someone quotes a Simpsons/South Park/whatever episode and the next 20 comments are people quoting the rest of the episode
We get it. You watched a hugely popular TV show. So did everybody. That’s why it was hugely popular.
I dunno I kinda liked that. Something something broken arms
ngl I kinda liked that to some degree
And my axe!
Those god awful ads that disguise themselves as posts.
Anti-emoji.
I’m not gonna bomb the place with them, but, occasionally if it fits, I’m throwing it in.
Cheers! 🍻
There’s a lot of emoji haters here
I installed a blocker in firefox.
hell yeah 🤙
You’ve got 3 emojis in your name… I think you might use them more than most by a decent margin haha.
Do they show on my comments? I only see them on my profile page.
On jerboa, I see 😈 MedicPig 🐷 BabySaver 😈 as your name on all comments
Cool
With sync I see them in your name for every comment you leave.
I don’t see them with boost.
