Asklemmy

I really dislike replies to questions that aren't really lengthy or offer any discourse. I always found people to reply just with the title of a film when someone would ask "whats your favourite movie and why?" on askreddit. Too often people would just write the name of the film and that was it, made the whole experience redundant. I feel like this got worse after years of being on the site.

Reddit gold.

Annoying clickbait titles on posts making you click to see wtf they were talking about - EG: "Can we take a second to thank this character in Game of Thrones"

Realized another - the awards that reddit created were out of control. I didn't mind avatars too much since customization can be fun and it was optional, but the awards are spammed and shown on most reddit clients.

These days on Reddit no one will read the linked posts and the comments are very circlejerky and lower quality. On the other hand Hacker News has mods (mostly just dang lol) vigilantly enforcing their guidelines to maintain somewhat quality discussions.

Another thing is a lot of reposting, bots, and excessive cross posting resulting in a lot of recycled garbage throughout. I miss the days where social media sites ripped off Reddit content, not the other way around.

Mod culture is always odd to me. I kind of wish there was more community modderation, and less dictators for life running things.

The word "based"

/s

Pretty much accepted it was the end of reddit when that started appearing.... /s

That and 9gag immigrants

If lemmy can avoid the use of /s and 9gag immigrants I'll be a happy little lemonian.

gatekeeping, censorship, shadowbans from commenting in a different community, echo chambers.

Massive amounts of cross-posting / re-posting of the same memes over and over again for klout farming. It's seriously awful on Reddit.

unchecked anonymous shitposting trolls

Some people just like lurking.

I wish there was multidimensional voting, and a way to filter out downvotes from people you don't align with. Minority opinions matter, but then getting downvoted to oblivion because the majority doesn't agree is damaging. It tends to lead to lowest common denominator content or proven reposts.
