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.

[–] DarthTanion@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

An expensive API.

[–] MiddleWeigh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] jcb2016@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

To stop talking about Reddit. Reddit is dead to me!

[–] WolfhoundRO@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Links pointing to Reddit content

[–] mabd@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Long, thought out posts with replies that consist solely of something like "you're*"

[–] Hazdaz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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.

people bot-posting for karma or similar bullshit

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?"

[–] radiosimian@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

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'

[–] holycrap@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Shitty repost bots. Actively ban bots pretending to be humans.

[–] makyo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Mouseovers that are easy to inadvertently activate and block a massive part of the site

[–] SulaymanF@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I happen to love megathreads. When a major breaking news happens I want to discuss it with the community, not read a dozen smaller threads repeating the same.

[–] Gyella@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago
[–] tebessa@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Just less outrage, more harmony.

[–] Q320@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I also choose this guy's

[–] IronicViking@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

All the “helpful” bots filling the comments with annoying messages.

[–] Burstar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was going to say 'a community full of really simple questions that should have just been queried via a search engine' (this post is a pleasant exception to what I'm used to ftr), but then I saw what community this was so my final answer will be: Onlyfans ads poorly disguised as relevant material for whatever community.

Unoriginal and boring "ask" threads

[–] ettyblatant@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Paywall articles, or articles from "news sites" that are all opinion pieces marauding as factual reporting

[–] UntouchedWagons@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

The

  • Abraham Lincoln
  • Michael Scott

That stuff, it's so dumb.

Also, "Username checks out"
