i can’t stand megathreads – no one reads these! no one wants their posts banished there!
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.”
EarthPixels. CarPixels. PornPixels. HistoryPixels. This could work.
Voat, when it was still around, had this same discussion and settled on using _Pix for everything.
I really like that name. Way better than Earthporn. Thank you for sharing, I subscribed!

Indeed. I like ‘Earthporn’ too, but I think it should be all nature pictures that look like genitalia and suchlike. Rocks or trees that look like penises for example.
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.
There is (was?) a ”nosillysuffix” sub that would aggregate all those *porn subs.

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.
Can we stop talking about Reddit? Let it go.
Hey people grieve at different speeds. Some people got to acceptance on the same day, others are still in denial.
…there is nothing to grieve…it is a website…
I was a daily reddit user since 2008. I don’t know anything else. The withdrawal symptoms were absolutely brutal until I figured out how Lemmy works.
Leaving reddit was harder than quitting nicotine. Let me grieve.
You are allowed to grieve whatever you feel you lost, even a website.

(I’m so sorry. I couldn’t resist)
You maybe should have tried harder to resist.
The “hivemind” ignoring the correct information or even worse, encouraging the wrong information.
Does anyone else remember the whole Boston Bomber fiasco (i.e. We did it, Reddit)?
Moderators who coddle bigots.
Bigots.
Ads.
Fuck ads.
“Thanks for the gold kind stranger”
Creative writing presented as truth
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.

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.
r/the_donald or anything like it. Kindly fuck off with all of that shit.
Cringe horny sexual questions on the main page every day: Reddit, what sound do you like to hear when you do the sex with your female partner? (and the post has 999999 upvotes and 99999 comments)
TIFU by sexing the sex when I sexed my sexy sexer.
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!

This is posted in sarcasm as I always hated that kind of response
