    Putting the word “porn” in community titles for anything involving photography or gfx. It’s immature and unnecessarily crude. I think it’s too late though.

    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.

    Buncha reddit cringe like:

    “The narwhal bacons at midnight” “Owling”

    I cannot abide that shit.

    Constant reposts and lack of any critical thinking or engagement. It is insane to think that every post I have put on here so far, I am new, has had more interaction that the gigantic ‘active’ user base of Reddit.

    US defaultism, eurocentrism, assuming everyone is male. But I think they are already here.

      What you on about, brother? Isn’t this a place on the internet, here thanks to god’s favourite country ? Clearly everyone can relate to the quintessential USA-ian experience!

      And what’s that about Eurocentrism, look at a map, Europe is dead center! Asia is to the east and Americas to the west… Relative to Europe!

      Oh and here’s a massive /S, just in case…

    Dubious and disagree downvotes. But that’s always been here already. That became pretty clear to me pretty fast.

        Content curation.

        I upvote or leave neutral opinions and arguments I disagree with if they’re well argued or otherwise contribute to discussion and strengthen respectful discourse.

        I don’t know how you feel when your posts get sum-negative scores, but it makes me feel rejected and makes me not want to participate. I receive it as a social indicator. I see it as something that leads us towards echo chambers.

          Yeah, I try to do this as well. I may not agree, but if they’re making an attempt at good faith argument and are holding a position that is not objectively wrong I’ll upvote or at least not downvote. I’ll always upvote someone who appears to accept that they might not have the higher ground. People still voteshame when someone tries to admit reconsidering a position, it sucks because that’a a disincentive to learning. It’s far too easy to emotionally knee-jerk downvote someone just because you don’t like what they said.

          Of course, this is pretty subjective…someone can be right and a complete ass and get a downvote or you might disagree for reasons other than the presented info, but so far Lemmy users seem far more inclined to moderate downvotes or at least tolerate some opinions and dish back with rebuttals rather than just mashing downvotes.

    Random persons(bots) writing their story of their life in comments. Karma farming, which leads to nothing but trying to show off or push propaganda.

      I’ve noticed a lack of “thathappened” type of stories. Either people here value their privacy or don’t feel the need to lie to farm nonexistent karma.

      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

            Oh I hadn’t heard about that. Could you elaborate at all or point me in the direction of some more info?

                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.
