What are some Redditisms that Lemmy needs to avoid?

Questions like “When you’re sexing some sexy sex, how many sex do you sex?”

Let’s keep the immature high school/sad old desperate man horniness out of here.

Going to a sub of strictly like minded people and posting popular opinions for karma.

"Thanks for the gold" and other "Edit: this blew up" type bullshit.

Any time someone says "obligatory [anything]" I want to scream.

Probably the biggest one would be needlessly hostile or mocking responses.

Shutting down questions with any variation "just Google it" It always irks me when someone goes "bro you know Google exists right" like if I wanted to Google it I wouldn't be asking it here

Centralization of anything. Powermods shouldn't be a thing, and major central instances are a bit sketchy too. No offense to ruud et al.

Reposting.

I would say circlejerking. The Bean meme was very Reddit like, but maybe it is necessary to build an online community to have posts like that?

How's about they stop trying to migrate Reddit subs over to Lemmy as communities? That would be nice. I don't want a Reddit substitute. I want a new thing that puts Reddit entirely in the past. I want a fresh start, not a Reddit clone. Reddit sucked for a lot of reasons. I could go on and on. Stop replying to comments with "this" as well. But, mostly, I'd like to see people from Reddit moving over to here with zero Reddit nostalgia. Say goodbye to your favorite Reddit subs, stop trying to re-create them over here in the Fediverse. Instead, have some imagination and create new, original communities and kick the whole Reddit vibe to the curb for once and for all.

Edit: added a word and comma.

Edit 1: wow guys thank you so much.

Edit 2: Rip my inbox.

Edit 3: Ok guys Im going to sleep.

Pointless comment trying to be a contrarian to just add /s at the end.

Shut the fuck up

The SFW porn network needs not to be called the SFW porn network. No communities named CarPorn or UniformPorn or, worse, AbandonedPorn or AnimalPorn.

Asking why they're being downvoted when they clearly have more upvotes. Also, starting a comment with "I'm going to get downvoted for this but".

[BLANKS] of Lemmy: "what's the sexiest sex you've ever sexed?"

Having spez as CEO

Power moderators. There is no justifiable reason for one person to own hundreds of major subs.

THIS

Probably the weirdos that drown in an ocean of their own cum whenever a woman is mentioned.

/r/EnoughXSpam

What is the point of a community about hating seeing spam of a certain topic if all the community does is spam about the topic?

This. So much this.

It's amazing for how much this place is supposed to be decentralized and open, hours much you all want to control messaging, themes, and already are having fight over fight on who to defederate from.

"You win the internet!" Anything "sir" or "gentlesir" leave that shit in the 2010s

Unfunny puns.

Cynicism and despair. There are no better words to describe reddit today than these two. Why do they argue endlessly over nothing? Because to them, nothing matters.

You can see that sentiment start popping up in the comments with the newest influx, but I hope sincerity will win out in the end this time.

Although I'm sure this is highly optimistic, I'd love to avoid the toxic behaviors that were free to grow on Reddit. The most hateful words I've ever read were on Reddit; I'm already seeing it happen here. It would be wonderful if discourse was welcomed here and promoted without all of the toxic back and forth. What was more harmful was a large amount of one-sided bans dealt out by mods of a certain variety. As long as the mods agreed with someone's stance it didn't matter how obscene a comment made, was. Let's try and be better than Reddit in more than one way.

If this hasn't been said yet, "this is the way"

These just sound like the behaviours of your average pudding brain internet user. I don't think it's a Reddit thing, and it will 100% continue in Lemmy.

What I will miss from Reddit:

• relevant discussions on every minute, niche topic available
• hitting a button and having it usually work (Lemmy growing pains are tough sometimes, I had to try repeatedly to get this comment up)

What I will not miss from Reddit:

• Low quality content, including, to be blunt, images with text (and calling them "memes")
• joke subs in general
• joke subs where the people that joined later don't know it's supposed to be a joke
• silly repetitious comment chains
• "we did it, Reddit!"
• subs that were supposed to be about real advice/drama but were flooded with bad creative writing

I think part of the problem is that people don't tend to read the comments on anything before they comment themselves. So you get the same old jokes repeated over and over and people thinking their opinions are really niche and groundbreaking when the exact same opinions are all over that same comment section.

needlessly hostile "gotcha" type responses that dont take into consideration the end users needs, use cases, or goals.

Tolerating bigots.

I dont think redundant questions are the problem. But people's historically short responses on reddit definitely were. Responses like "have you tried googling it" or "the question has already been answered, try searching before you post" do nothing but ostracize the person asking and make communities unwelcoming. I would like to see Lemmy more understanding, as to encourage and attract novice individuals in communities they are interested in

Sorry ive seen this question before, its redundant

This is a redundant question. It's been asked every two days.

I feel like before 2015 reddit was way more free speech focused. Now it seems like every sub will ban you because they don't like you politically or you violated rule 15b paragraph 2.

Basically every sub is run by tiny elons with a power trip.

All the hivemind from reddit. The love for random celebrities. Keanu Reeves doesn't care for any of us here. The love for recycling facts everyone already knows. I don't need to read about how the Appalachian mountains go up to Scotland again.

Echo chamber, calling people "redditors", talking about the site as if everyones a community and knows eachother. It contributes to the hive mind. Just talk to people like normal people. Also, the writing style of anyone telling a story- at least the 4chan ">be me" is funny. The reddit style of just adding too much detail, snarky remarks, and the (22M) after every pronoun.

Cake day

• Repost spam and karma farmers.
• Also the bots that simulated activity by reposting the top posts with their highest upvoted comments from a year ago.
• Cross-site/server bans because you posted in a community that the moderators of the one you are trying to post in don't like. Sadly already happening with many servers defederating from each other.

r/kinda_relevant_sub

As the only text. No, just stop. Add something to the conversation please.

We need a new unit of measurement to replace the banana.

The narwhal bacons at midnight, or whatever the fuck it was. Just ask people if they've heard of Lemmy lol, we don't need some code phrase

I hope the stupid koala/sunfish/panda copypastas burn with reddit. It was kind of funny at first, but then it started actually convincing people that a bunch of species legitimately deserve to go extinct for... taking up an ecological niche?

Reminds me of how people used to laugh about blobfish. Then they realized that the deep sea fish - adapted to incredible pressure - doesn't take rapid decompression well.

Pupper Snek Danger Noodle Cat Snake

Once we have critical mass, I think we can have meaningful discussions. However, if 300 million threads users become regulars in these instances, expect the worst of redditism. Every comment will be memes or jokes.

unfunny jokes about windows or dumb random tv show quotes as top rated comments

Probably the leftist echo chamber thing. You know, a place where people can't just assume everyone agrees with their extreme political opinions, everyone hates Trump and loves Biden, everyone has no issue with homosexuality or trans kids or drag queens etc. You know.

Puns

I don't think you're going to have the same level of control over the speech of others on here as you had on reddit.

Username questions

Shitty memes

The Nice, Noice, Noiicce... threads.

"People who make pun threads should be drug out into the street and shot"

Downvotes. If the post/comment is inappopriate, report it. If you disagree strongly with the point reply. If you don’t just move on with your day.

Leave the /s at Reddit

Lurkers downvoting comments just because they don't agree with the content or whatever.
With votes being public and all, it's very childish and tacky.

Duh right, muh Trump. Take your meds ffs.

The Firefox circlejerk. Anytime something remotely related to the internet was brought up there would be 700 comments about how much better Firefox is. I swear, ever since Google announced killing manifest v2 (which ofc isn't good) half the posts on reddit have been people shilling Firefox.

Opinions about Firefox aside, I hope people can agree the endless circlejerk was getting annoying

Edit: Judging by the speedy downvotes, looks like the Firefox fanatics are on Lemmy too. What a shame, I hate seeing their constant ads.
