    This may be an unpopular option since I’ve already seen it across lemmy, but the ____porn communities. I’d like to browse pictures of nice landscapes or exotic cars without worry about someone around me noticing “PORN” on my screen.

    At this point it seems very old internet, something that made sense when those communities were established, but now is unnecessary gratuitous and not socially acceptable.

    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.

    Karma-whoring. It’s already started with the stupid “upote my can of beans” posts… Dude nobody cares about your internet points, either activity participate or fuck off to Instagram.

    “Sir, you have just won the internet” “Thanks for the gold kind stranger” “I too choose this guy’s [placeholder]” And the other corny overused reddit lines

    I actually liked megathreads, they usually meant big news and I didn’t have to read 20 posts about the same thing.

    But what I disliked about reddit was when trolls from some subreddits would spam CP to get other subreddits closed

      Megathreads for news / events I think are great - for me the annoying part were some of the ongoing megathreads; for example some game subs will drown out basically all actual conversation about gameplay because there a “daily questions thread”. I know they might’ve had an issue with repetitive questions, but there’s gotta be a middle point
