Ask Lemmy

people bot-posting for karma or similar bullshit

Unoriginal and boring "ask" threads

Low IQ moderators who do a billion dollar corporation's work for free just because they want the smallest modicum of power.

Megathreads were an improvement over the same story being posted a hundred times (not an exaggeration).

With regards to the question: the bigotry, the boy's clubs, the tactics to deliberately exclude some members from the conversation. I doubt Lemmy will avoid them wholesale, but maybe they will be curtailed and limited to a few instances.

The "obligatory" jokes, copypasted every time someone writes a certain thing. I would always downvote them. I am thinking about blocking users that continue that here.

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.

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

Communities as hashtags.

You know what I want to see start, though? /r/switcharoo. Please please please we need to somehow start a good ol Lemmy switcharoo.

Power mods like that awkward turtle loser

"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

Help me name my pet, because I have no creatively or originality and am a karma whore.

Single opinion echo chamber. I'm sure it'll work it's way back into the fold as folks break out into communities, but I think it's a very dangerous aspect of social media I hope we can get rid of eventually.

Edit: I never took the time to learn how to spell it

"and my axe" "sir this is a Wendy"s" "Now kith" "Take my angry upvote" The pun chains, and song lyric comment chains that you have to scroll through just to see the first relevant comment. And always in the middle of those chains is something like. "This is why I love Reddit". Well, you can keep it. I do hope Schnoodle moves over here though.

Incredibly out of touch Westerners who think the world should revolve exclusively around their favoured concerns. The Ukraine conflict was a very good example of this. So many dumbasses blaming countries for not cutting their ties with Russia just because it suits their worldview.
