Constant reposts and lack of any critical thinking or engagement. It is insane to think that every post I have put on here so far, I am new, has had more interaction that the gigantic ‘active’ user base of Reddit.
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…

I was today years old when i was reminded again of this godawful expression.
Too late. They all already came, minus the centralization issue.
“My dad spent 10 years molesting me, my mom said to invite him to my wedding, AITA for saying no?”
Random persons(bots) writing their story of their life in comments. Karma farming, which leads to nothing but trying to show off or push propaganda.
I’ve noticed a lack of “thathappened” type of stories. Either people here value their privacy or don’t feel the need to lie to farm nonexistent karma.
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.
Karma and comment requirements to participate in communities. Plus how hard it is for your submission to actually be approved.
This one is inevitable but people going through your whole comment history when arguing with you.
Mod impunity, brigading, bots, reposts, repost bots, banning of 3rd-party apps, abuse of suicide prevention system by bad actors. Aside from the forum-specific culture, the site’s frequent failure to upload/post comments, which sometimes resulted in 100% loss of more detailed responses, was incredibly disappointing (I’m still Ctr-C’ing all comments everywhere as a force of habit to guarantee it won’t happen 5+ times/day).
Those god awful ads that disguise themselves as posts.
Bad mods
Too late, but at least alternatives pop up more quickly here. I’m not going near any of the 196 coms, but it’s a good example of how little power bad mods here have.
Outrageous and inflammatory comments just to karma farm if that’s even a thing here.
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
ngl I kinda liked that to some degree
Any kind of automated moderation. If you can’t do the job you volunteered to do, don’t volunteer. If you need more hands and eyes, recruit more mods.
“Leopard-face” replies masquerading as a substantive comment that adds something to the discussion.
It’s really no better than: “This”
That
