MODERATORS
Rage bait, Karen videos, violence
Hatred towards emojis.
Reddit downvotes anything with emojis. Like why? Do you guys not have friends? Everyone uses emojis these days when texting.
I will admit I used them WAY less before I started dating my girlfriend, but if you try to be social in any way, you will need to just accept emojis.
Plus they look cute, and convey emotions. Not sure what there is to hate? 🤔

Powermods and fat hate. Lizzo is more healthy than 95% of the losers that are so intereted into the "promotion of a healthy role model" and I don't see as many people saying anything about the rampant use of drugs or alcoholism there is in the famous people, so come the fuck on!

Power mods... Except they are already here and banning opinions they don't like. Good thing it's super easy to make a new account on here.
Nothing like recreating a class of elites that work to guide the flow of public discourse in our digital spaces as well! It works so well in real life, why deviate from the formula?
I just really disliked seeing the same names over and over weaponizing their pettiness.

I feel that the urban patois of YouTube commentators would lend Lemmy the credibility and gravitas it needs to survive. We should also rename Lemmy something along the lines of Reddit2.0 Rebooted to draw in the premium users. I think the capricious and autocratic style of the Reddit moderation team would improve the discourse and dissuade free thinking individuals from expressing troublesome opinions that contradict the narrative of a quality clickbait shitpost.

People farming karma on subs like /r/aww.
Like not even reposters. I’m instead talking about the people who camp that sub and ruin threads by criticizing diet, etc.
If you post a photo of a dog that’s even slightly overweight, God have mercy on your cursed soul.
I really hope that the political communities don't devolve into just useless name calling.
What I like are the comments that discuss the nuances of politics. Why things happen the way they do and the strategies, OR even other people's takes on a topic.
What Reddit turned into was is an ass or is <Stupid/fascists/baby killers> Or is too old and stupid. Nothing of substance just writing the same thing someone else wrote in the last post. Got really boring.
I'm getting real sick of seeing comments made by someone who clearly didn't read or understand a post/comment. It's hard to tell if it's genuine stupidy and a lack of reading comprehension or a purposeful troll. Either way, it's annoying and I hope to at least see a lot less of it on Lemmy, if not gone altogether.
I completely agree with your point - power mods were a huge problem.

That new ugly UI.
It's so damn cluttered.
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.
