    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.

      I saw a post about a community created here called “pixel passport” which I thought was a hell of a lot better that “earth porn.”

      Nothing like someone peaking over your shoulder and seeing you’re browsing r/AnimalPorn…

      I totally agree with you. Hopefully lemmy can be a little more mature with community names. (Yeah, yeah… I know the hypocrisy of my username… It’s my gamertag)

      Damn, I had forgotten how obnoxious that was on Reddit. Blocked all of those years ago because it was just unnecessary and a gross way to qualify otherwise unremarkable photos.

      I also hate “happy cake day”, and “this”. Especially “this”. It’s a worthless comment that adds nothing more to the discussion than a simple upvote.

    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.

      Similarly asking for proof getting downvoted to hell. Asking for proof is so important online and pretty much every statement should be able to provide proof

      A lot of people would just upvote the first bozo to reply with a confident answer and never bother to check for the full story. Scrolling 3 comments down you’d find someone who actually knows their stuff. I learned to at least read most of the comments before committing any Reddit info to memory as fact.

      It’s most noticeable when the topic being discussed is your area of expertise. Then you clearly see what kind of grossly oversimplified or even blatantly false comments get made with so much confidence and upvoted.

      I tried to keep this in mind while reading stuff that I’m not an expert in, but that’s hard.

        Then you come out facts swinging, and despite possessing vastly more knowledge on the subject and presenting factual/cited corrections to their claims, you are the one downvoted because the userbase has already decided the false claim is more fun to believe.

        Let them continue to devolve in their cesspool. They can have it… They deserve it…

    Sponsored posts, banner ads, algorithms, and other advertising-industry fuckery.

    A reply that’s just “r/(some subreddit name).”

    A robot trying to sell stolen fan art printed onto t-shirts.

    People childishly self-censoring non-sweary words. “Sex” isn’t a bad word, but writing “s*x” suggests you probably shouldn’t be allowed on social media at your stage of development.

    The ragebait fake text message screenshots that plague subs like antiwork.

    Wow, your dickhead boss is stupid enough to put all of that in writing and has the exact same style of writing, spelling and grammar as you do? Isn’t that a coincidence!

    I absolutely hate the love for revenge violence. Stuff like celebration people running over protestors in their cars because they were forced to stop on the road. Or bleeding out after someone got shot when they robbed a store.

    This includes that fact that you can basically guarantee every thread contains at least one comment claiming “play stupid games, win stupid prizes”

      I haaate “equal rights means equal lefts.”

      These dudes fantasize about a woman picking a fight with them so they can beat the shit out of one and have it be socially acceptable.

    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.
