    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.

    “Leopard-face” replies masquerading as a substantive comment that adds something to the discussion.

    It’s really no better than: “This”

    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.

    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.

        don’t know why I was downvoted

        I’m convinced there are people out there that just downvote everything. They get some kind of chemical release in their brains when they hit the downvote button. You could say “being happy feels good” and someone out there will downvote it.

            I think it’s fat fingering then others dont think for themselves and just go with whatever it already is.
            Feels awful when you had a creative comment but just didn’t spell it out well enough and it gets like 3 downvotes 🥲

            like noo I didn’t mean it in a bad way, I just like falling asleep to technical videos and that’s a compliment coming from me 😭😭

      The hive mind might already be here, depending on who you ask. I was already left/progressive, though, so it just feels like hanging out with like-minded people.

      Jerks I can do without, but they’re unavoidable. Simply not engaging with them seems to work best.

        I feel like to a point it might be, but to a point in today’s age and internet - everything is an echo chamber so it’s turned into a “pick ypur poison” kind of thing.

        That being said, open discourse and actual conversation seems more prevalent and easier to come by here then on reddit which is very nice.

          A result of decentralization. There absolutely are instances full of insufferable whatevers for many varieties of whatever, but being decentralized makes it a lot harder for them to utterly own all discussion on a topic in the way that often happens on Reddit.

          I think the different instances help with that, as it encourages at least some interaction outside of your direct bubble…

          That said when Hexbear re-enable federation I very much doubt “open discourse” or “actual conversation” will be the results

                You are a shameful liar.

                Doxxing is explicitly against their code of conduct: “Do not publish, comment, message, or post personally identifiable information about other users. We also strongly discourage posting any personally identifiable information about yourself.” They are the only instance that doesn’t log IP addresses in their database and scrubs meta-data from any image uploaded there.

                Where are their communities dedicated to brigading? There is no actual proof of them doing anything like that, more so it is the most active instance (4.9 million comments) so anyone posting blatant lies like you will be confronted.

                Hexbears troll and give personal attacks against either those that start it with them or people who are racist, homophobic, transphobic, or ableist.

                  And the US doesn’t torture prisoners. And Russia didn’t invade Ukraine. And nothing happened in China on 4th June 1989…

                  The rules are completely unenforced, and also generally don’t apply for actions against people on other instances. Take a look at slop as the biggest example where they link to other instances and swathes of Hexbear users go brigade that post without even taking the time to factcheck, and look around at their other communities and you’ll find plenty of similar ones.

    All the tired puns or jokes about Nazis/Hitler. “Anne Frankly, I did Nazi that coming!” “You gotta hand it to Hitler, at least he killed Hitler.” Etc.

    It’s the kind of thing you might chuckle at once, but so many comment threads end up piled with the same brain rot nonsense as people trip over themselves to parrot their quirky internet catchphrases.

        Pronoun jokes are almost never funny, especially in the current political environment. Especially if cishet folks are making them. The exceptions are few and far between.

          So I think I have a good one, actually.

          That’s what they said.

          That’s it, really, an inclusive update on an old stupid joke.

          I suspect I’m still the only one to find it funny.

            I actually found myself tempted to say exactly that earlier today. Someone said something about sucking, and my initial instinct was, “That’s what she said!”, but then I thought about the audience and felt like the gender neutral “they” might be more appropriate, but I wasn’t really sure, so instead I said nothing.

              That’s why it’s fun, at least to me.

              You snap out of the conversation and go over the permutations. It’s funnier that way.

          It’s weird, not once have I wanted to comment “this” on Lemmy. But I did it all the time on Reddit. Maybe because I felt a disconnect between voting (rewarding a comment that contributed) and agreeing with the comment.

          Maybe the comments on Lemmy are not so knee-jerk and numerous that there’s not a reason to simply show agreement.
