    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

    I can hope it won’t but I know it’s gonna happen anyway - the chronically online mentality that was everywhere on Reddit.

    On reddit it always seemed like a lot of people (or at least the most vocal ones) never actually go outside and have this very idealized and unrealistic view on the world.

    c/Xporn when X is not sexual. Like r/foodporn, r/earthporn, or r/animalporn.

    Please don’t let /c/asklemmy become like /r/askreddit, which had half of the front-page posts being the same sex related questions every month.

    “Women of reddit, what non sexual thing that guys so makes you horny?”

    “What is the sexiest thing you regret doing?”

    “How many cocks have you sucked while your cat judges you while waiting for you to feed it?”

    It was bullshit.

    I hope that the mod-user relationship will be healthier here. (Bias, I was a reddit moderator.)

    Some reddit mods were crap, this is true. Powermods and sub collectors were real. They did shit up a few communities.

    But these people were a very small proportion of all moderators. Most moderators I met were chill, and just wanted to chip in to their respective communities to give back, in a way. Volunteering for internet janitor duty, because no matter how much people use the term as an insult it turns out public spaces need janitors - or they get filled with shit, trash, graffiti (and not the cool kind either, mostly badly drawn swastikas). It’s not a position that should be glorified, or anything, because that’s weird, but I hope that some semblance of basic respect can be maintained here on Lemmy - both ways, meaning no powermods but also no defaulting to assuming mods suck.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    AskReddit topics:

    “Who is a very popular and esteemed actor but actually is pretty bad at acting?”

    “What’s a cheap thing that is actually expensive?”

    The absolutely childish gaming default posts of “hidden gems” that aren’t hidden, “ain’t much but it’s mine” and stale ass memes. Stuff like that makes my eyes roll. Not just the default gaming sub but it started to creep into most places.
