Gossiping about other people. Venting is fine, but when you start pointing out weird random unflattering traits from people we know just to giggled I just lose interest

MODERATORS
If they're boring, then we can't hang
How they treat people who disagree with them politically. If they immediately hate/cut off people for political disagreements, we're not going to be friends any deeper than surface level.
Eh it depends on how wrong they are. Perpetuating hate speech? I'm going to cut you off and tell you that you are wrong. Actual politics though, I'll have a conversation.

If they talk bad about other people, especially if you don’t know the would-be friend very well. If they’ll bad mouth other people to you they’re gonna bad mouth you to other people.
