MODERATORS
 

For example, people on Reddit asking redundant questions and give equally redundant or unhelpful answers.

Whenever every 'What's the worst show you've seen?' is asked, you'll get 10,000 "Kardashians" answers, which is just easy karma farming.

If someone posts in a community that's geared for something like opinions, but someone elects to just go on a full scale rant instead.

Questions like “When you’re sexing some sexy sex, how many sex do you sex?”

Let’s keep the immature high school/sad old desperate man horniness out of here.

Adding to this, I'd love to never see the phrase "Sexy Time" ever again

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ugh there are so many phrases I cannot stand from reddit. "thanks for the gold kind stranger" makes me want to throw my computer out of the window.

[–] wetferret@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

"RIP my inbox", "How do I delete someone else's comment", etc

[–] fugepe@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

Every single time I think about reddit, that picture of a past reddit meet-up appears in my head. 99% were fat, disgenetic, unappealing, unhealthy, weird looking people.

[–] andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun 1 points 2 years ago

Centralization of anything. Powermods shouldn't be a thing, and major central instances are a bit sketchy too. No offense to ruud et al.

How's about they stop trying to migrate Reddit subs over to Lemmy as communities? That would be nice. I don't want a Reddit substitute. I want a new thing that puts Reddit entirely in the past. I want a fresh start, not a Reddit clone. Reddit sucked for a lot of reasons. I could go on and on. Stop replying to comments with "this" as well. But, mostly, I'd like to see people from Reddit moving over to here with zero Reddit nostalgia. Say goodbye to your favorite Reddit subs, stop trying to re-create them over here in the Fediverse. Instead, have some imagination and create new, original communities and kick the whole Reddit vibe to the curb for once and for all.

Disagree — while the larger communities tended to get kind of lame, Reddit’s smaller communities were quite worthwhile. I want that to continue, just not on Reddit.

[–] FinalBoy1975@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm really not talking about smaller communities. I'm talking about the ones that made the Reddit brand. Like AITA, for example. A lot of the smaller communities could be discussion boards anywhere because they're so small and they are a niche. If there was an Aardvark Lovers sub on Reddit, I'm all in for an Aardvark Lovers sub on Lemmy. Do I really want to see a lot of the same big subs? No. A lot of what I see on YSK is stuff I don't need to know, don't care about, didn't change my life or affect me at all, whether it's on Reddit or Lemmy. My point, which you did not get, is that I don't want a Reddit clone.

[–] Historical_General@lemmy.world -5 points 2 years ago

We definitely need a little bit of the cloning and imagination - to get the niche communities on here - which was what I actually used reddit for mostly. The rest was background noise/scrolling.

[–] parlaptie@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Probably the biggest one would be needlessly hostile or mocking responses.

[–] fugepe@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Edit: added a word and comma.

Edit 1: wow guys thank you so much.

Edit 2: Rip my inbox.

Edit 3: Ok guys Im going to sleep.

Pointless comment trying to be a contrarian to just add /s at the end.

Shut the fuck up

[–] Yipper46@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

Probably the leftist echo chamber thing. You know, a place where people can't just assume everyone agrees with their extreme political opinions, everyone hates Trump and loves Biden, everyone has no issue with homosexuality or trans kids or drag queens etc. You know.

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca -4 points 2 years ago

Once we have critical mass, I think we can have meaningful discussions. However, if 300 million threads users become regulars in these instances, expect the worst of redditism. Every comment will be memes or jokes.
