Too much politics. During the election on Reddit, everything was either ecstatic “Trump good!” or smug “Orange man bad!” posts with no actual content. My list of blocked subreddits ballooned, and that helped. Maybe I’ll have to do that here.

I hope you're wrong cause of the reasons why I left reddit and ended up at Lemmy was for the politics. YouTube is too right-wing biased and Imgur has too many memes. Give me those juicy Trump stories. Can't wait for the day when I see the "Trump Sentenced to 20 Years" post pop up on the front page here.

I second that. It's overwhelming.

Links pointing to Reddit content
Overzealous mods.
Endless OF spam.
Corporate shills.
Permanent bans. Except for egregious cases, ALL bans should be for a certain number of hours to cool the situation down, and then let it go.
Spez
Long, thought out posts with replies that consist solely of something like "you're*"
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
An expensive API.
To stop talking about Reddit. Reddit is dead to me!
Least original post: the dumbass comments parroting the same joke from 2018. It's not even bots, it's the zeitgeist and it's only gonna get worse. Insert 'old_man_shouts_at_sky.gif'
AskReddit topics:
"Who is a very popular and esteemed actor but actually is pretty bad at acting?"
"What's a cheap thing that is actually expensive?"
Bots. Endless bots where you don't know if the comment or post is a real person. Sign ups need a barrier to filter out bots.
"Thanks for the gold kind stranger!"
all the excessive awards
people making entire threads of stupid puns
typing out song lyrics
that dumb broken arms thing

people bot-posting for karma or similar bullshit
Shitty repost bots. Actively ban bots pretending to be humans.
Mouseovers that are easy to inadvertently activate and block a massive part of the site
