1005 users here now
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Thanks for the gold kind stranger
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.

All that shit can go to hell.
I feel like the lack of karma system will 100% help in this aspect. No reason to comment/post dumb things since you don't really get anything with your post/comment is at the top.

Also no trophy's, ever. Unless it's like a Mario Kart Lemmy Tourney. Then sure. But for a sub like that? NOPE.
Ads
Shadowbanning.
Official NFTs collectible.
I couldn't see anyone else mentioning it so I will. Ads. My mind is at peace without them
First comment being, from a automateded bot.
People farming karma on subs like /r/aww.
Like not even reposters. I’m instead talking about the people who camp that sub and ruin threads by criticizing diet, etc.
If you post a photo of a dog that’s even slightly overweight, God have mercy on your cursed soul.

Also, while I will tolerate it, I hope we tone down the doggo speak

“Women of Reddit: what’s the sexiest sex you ever sexed (and why)?”
Power mods. Many of the ones who ran Reddit's biggest subreddits like iBleeedOrange and Awkwardtheturtle were major assholes.

Links pointing to Reddit content
Karma, and assholes who intentionally try and misrepresent an OP because he wasn't eating everyone's ass in the first post.
The general attitude that people have where they need to be right at all costs and will insult you for thinking otherwise.
Like, it's okay to admit that you're wrong and have your views changed.
Toxic gatekeeping in communities.
Power-tripping users that somehow have access to hundreds of sub-communities and lean heavily on automodding and just reacting by absolutes because they lack problem solving skills.
Shitty, unfunny jokes that spiral into lengthy comment chains that are a chore to weed through. Keep that shit on Reddit, because everyone pretends they're some downtrodden, unspoken stand up comedian on there.
Thought policing.
Word policing. Yeah I get that we shouldn't say n***** and stuff. But, why go through the trouble of censoring swears? I mean come on, we've grown up to have the privilege of airing those words out!

Politically motivated communities, even if the community has nothing to do with politics
Stupid drama and community rivalries. And ads in apps.
An expensive API.
Ads and rage bait content farm
people bot-posting for karma or similar bullshit
Links to Twitter. Never had an acct, the site is horrid, and I will not go.
Realistically, everything we dislike on reddit is pretty much unavoidable once there is a certain number of people, outside of being ran by some capitalist shills, hopefully
c/Xporn when X is not sexual. Like r/foodporn, r/earthporn, or r/animalporn.
