Ask Lemmy

Rage bait, Karen videos, violence

Reposts of questions from a few days ago like this one

A tolerance for the propagation of disinformation.

Room for disagreements is necessary, but so is stopping people who never cared about agreeing in the first place. Giving the dishonest this freedom has only silenced the honest by burdening them with layers of crap to cut through before their speech is heard.

Power mods like that awkward turtle loser

Well I saw there's already a "The Donald" type group so that's just fuckin' lovely.

Comments that require a, "well, back on Reddit..." explanation. Could include comments about that guy's dead wife. That one kid's broken arms, etc.

Long pun chains

So. Much. This.

Long looping chains where the same 3 comments are repeated.

Powermods who collects the title more than doing the actual moderating.

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.

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

I think mega threads are really useful for when you're looking for credible sources.

There's nothing wrong with talking about reddit right now, it's the biggest ongoing news to all of us right now. It will never really go away in your mind, in time you'll just be indifferent towards it.

The most important thing is again, to remember what reddit did to turn into what it is, and not repeat the mistake here.

People replying "this"... motherfucker that's what the upvote button is for.

obligatory _

constant cyclejerk to farm upvotes. also the fact that on reddit if you dont commonet within like 1hr of post creation you have basically no chance of getting top voted / talking on that thread

Just less outrage, more harmony.

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

Entire post that are just a screencap from a tv show with an unedited quote as the title. Those used to flood any show specific sub to the point of annoyance. They add nothing to the conversation.

I only want to see the number of upvotes and downvotes like in the olden time.

Circlejerk communities. They almost always end up being worse than the actual places they make fun of.

Toddlerisms like danger noodle (snakes) or velvet hippos (pitbulls I think)

This.
