I could do without all the fascism.
I was today years old when i was reminded again of this godawful expression.
“My dad spent 10 years molesting me, my mom said to invite him to my wedding, AITA for saying no?”
Those god awful ads that disguise themselves as posts.
complaining about a hivemind
Just one. JUST. ONE.
Communities almost wholly moderated by an automod bot, that is extremely strict about nonsense, and where 99% of posts are strictly forbidden.
“ALL QUESTIONS SHOULD BE IN THE MEGATHREAD!!!1111111111one” and then you peep the megathread, it’s months-full of unanswered questions because no actual community member READS the fucking megathread, and then the excuse is “BECAUZ WE WANT QUALITY CONTENT!!!” and you check the sub itself and the “quality content” is one post every 3 months by the powermod that has the power to override the bot.
This was the most annoying thing about Reddit and made getting conversations going nearly impossible. PLEASE do not bring that over.
I found one subreddit that had no active mods, and a bot that admittedly did a pretty good job, but the subreddit was totally dead as a result.
US defaultism, eurocentrism, assuming everyone is male. But I think they are already here.
What you on about, brother? Isn’t this a place on the internet, here thanks to god’s favourite country ? Clearly everyone can relate to the quintessential USA-ian experience!
And what’s that about Eurocentrism, look at a map, Europe is dead center! Asia is to the east and Americas to the west… Relative to Europe!
Oh and here’s a massive /S, just in case…
Anti-emoji.
I’m not gonna bomb the place with them, but, occasionally if it fits, I’m throwing it in.
Cheers! 🍻
You’ve got 3 emojis in your name… I think you might use them more than most by a decent margin haha.
Do they show on my comments? I only see them on my profile page.
On jerboa, I see 😈 MedicPig 🐷 BabySaver 😈 as your name on all comments
I don’t see them with boost.
There’s a lot of emoji haters here
I installed a blocker in firefox.
hell yeah 🤙
Suppression of discussion through mega/weekly/monthly threads.
Post requirements that result in posting anything nearly impossible.
Fucking stupid rules for mods to abuse with their dork ass internet powarz.
Clear corporate astroturfing.
Edit: Thanks for the upvotes!
edit: Thanks for the gold, kind stranger!
Edit: omg my first gold and it’s about buttholes smh
Edit: you’ll never know why I got these upvotes (more on YT, but I think it applies here also)
This
“This” used get downvoted into oblivion back in the day on Reddit.
This.
And my axe!
It was the trite expressions that got blanketed after gaining popularity for me. Lookin’ at you, “fuck around find out/FAFO” 🙄
I’ve never got that joke
It’s a Lord of the Rings reference. Here’s an explanation:

OH GOD I HATE THAT SO MUCH. I shouldn’t but I do
Charging developers for API access after they go out of their way to make products that greatly improve the experience.
Karma-farming. Please lets just be our genuine, authentic, awful selves.
It helps that we have no karma. Also, some instances bouncing downvotes helps a bit.
What’s bouncing downvotes?
Some servers ignore downvotes from other servers.
Every single comment thread on anything that reaches r/all quickly devolving into the most unfunny and unoriginal jokes and/or references. Regardless of how grim/serious the original post was.
And my axe!
I dunno I kinda liked that. Something something broken arms
Especially egregious: someone quotes a Simpsons/South Park/whatever episode and the next 20 comments are people quoting the rest of the episode
We get it. You watched a hugely popular TV show. So did everybody. That’s why it was hugely popular.
ngl I kinda liked that to some degree
fucking cake days
Thats already here.
edit: don’t know why I was downvoted, its literally a lemmy feature.
don’t know why I was downvoted
I’m convinced there are people out there that just downvote everything. They get some kind of chemical release in their brains when they hit the downvote button. You could say “being happy feels good” and someone out there will downvote it.
I would say they just fat-fingered it. hopefully.
I think it’s fat fingering then others dont think for themselves and just go with whatever it already is.
Feels awful when you had a creative comment but just didn’t spell it out well enough and it gets like 3 downvotes 🥲like noo I didn’t mean it in a bad way, I just like falling asleep to technical videos and that’s a compliment coming from me 😭😭
A feature that’s carried over from reddit is utterly random downvotes sometimes
The only way to stop that is to remove the downvote button.
People will always fat-finger or vote based on emotion.
They are, I wish them sometimes when I know the person. It’s quite nice
