Ask Lemmy

I happen to love megathreads. When a major breaking news happens I want to discuss it with the community, not read a dozen smaller threads repeating the same.

The smug, smarmy attitude Redditors are known for even when they're obviously wrong.

All the fake AITA posts.

Other Redditors. Can we just be on Lemmy and move the fuck on?

The fact that reddit and its subreddits became huge echo chambers that downvote and challenge anything that isn't the current public opinion.

Political compass meme was a breeding ground for fascists. Who would have thought a sub about reductionist political thought would attract bad actors.

Power mods. Many of the ones who ran Reddit's biggest subreddits like iBleeedOrange and Awkwardtheturtle were major assholes.

Horny people from Lemmy, what is the Horniest thing you've....

But it's probably a matter of time.

"This." These comments add nothing to the discussion. I get that people want to show their support an argument/content, but that's what upvotes are for. If you want to show your support for something, then at least try to think of something worthwhile to add to the discussion while expressing your support.

Overzealous mods.

Endless OF spam.

Corporate shills.

Permanent bans. Except for egregious cases, ALL bans should be for a certain number of hours to cool the situation down, and then let it go.

Karma. Chasing a high score leads to shitposting.

First comment being, from a automateded bot.

Using autism as an insult. And the r-word. I'm sure I'll see both, but I wish there were a corner of the internet free of mocking people with disabilities.

Karma farming. Imagine all the people posting content for free.

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’m feeling insecure and shy, please rate my anus.

Edit:Typo.

If an edit changes the context of the comment, then sure, put up an edit note. But no one cares if you erase typos.

During the final days I spent on the platform, Reddit was starting to become very generic. Many subreddits, despite being about theoretically different topics, devolved into a generic Reddit frontpage community. Even if Lemmy becomes a lot more popular, my hope is that the communities here will stay somewhat distinct and won't become as much of circlejerks.

_'s of reddit, what is your experience with _?

Not a _, but...

Bots. Endless bots where you don't know if the comment or post is a real person. Sign ups need a barrier to filter out bots.

I hope Lemmy won't become far right or far left platform

That new ugly UI.

It's so damn cluttered.

I couldn't see anyone else mentioning it so I will. Ads. My mind is at peace without them
