“My dad spent 10 years molesting me, my mom said to invite him to my wedding, AITA for saying no?”
Bad mods
Outrageous and inflammatory comments just to karma farm if that’s even a thing here.
Karma and comment requirements to participate in communities. Plus how hard it is for your submission to actually be approved.
This one is inevitable but people going through your whole comment history when arguing with you.
Any kind of automated moderation. If you can’t do the job you volunteered to do, don’t volunteer. If you need more hands and eyes, recruit more mods.
Just one. JUST. ONE.
Communities almost wholly moderated by an automod bot, that is extremely strict about nonsense, and where 99% of posts are strictly forbidden.
“ALL QUESTIONS SHOULD BE IN THE MEGATHREAD!!!1111111111one” and then you peep the megathread, it’s months-full of unanswered questions because no actual community member READS the fucking megathread, and then the excuse is “BECAUZ WE WANT QUALITY CONTENT!!!” and you check the sub itself and the “quality content” is one post every 3 months by the powermod that has the power to override the bot.
This was the most annoying thing about Reddit and made getting conversations going nearly impossible. PLEASE do not bring that over.
I found one subreddit that had no active mods, and a bot that admittedly did a pretty good job, but the subreddit was totally dead as a result.
Those god awful ads that disguise themselves as posts.
Anti-emoji.
I’m not gonna bomb the place with them, but, occasionally if it fits, I’m throwing it in.
Cheers! 🍻
There’s a lot of emoji haters here
You’ve got 3 emojis in your name… I think you might use them more than most by a decent margin haha.
hell yeah 🤙
“Leopard-face” replies masquerading as a substantive comment that adds something to the discussion.
It’s really no better than: “This”
Charging developers for API access after they go out of their way to make products that greatly improve the experience.
Every single comment thread on anything that reaches r/all quickly devolving into the most unfunny and unoriginal jokes and/or references. Regardless of how grim/serious the original post was.
And my axe!
ngl I kinda liked that to some degree
I dunno I kinda liked that. Something something broken arms
Novelty/troll accounts. I’ve seen a lot of them pop up on Reddit over the years. The most infamous one I remember was one called Gradual_****** (yes, the n-word) that would type out ordinary replies that would gradually switch to ebonics.
I really enjoyed the art accounts and shittymorph.
A lot of the original ones for year ago were pretty good like shitty watercolour
I actually enjoyed some of those accounts, but for sure some of them were annoying.
Edit: Thanks for the upvotes!
edit: Thanks for the gold, kind stranger!
Edit: omg my first gold and it’s about buttholes smh
Edit: you’ll never know why I got these upvotes (more on YT, but I think it applies here also)
Karma-farming. Please lets just be our genuine, authentic, awful selves.
It helps that we have no karma. Also, some instances bouncing downvotes helps a bit.
What’s bouncing downvotes?
This
OH GOD I HATE THAT SO MUCH. I shouldn’t but I do
“This” used get downvoted into oblivion back in the day on Reddit.
This.
And my axe!
I’ve never got that joke
It’s a Lord of the Rings reference. Here’s an explanation:
