People constantly asking the same questions, resulting in the same answers.
Oh wow, people wish Firefly wasn’t cancelled? This is certainly new information.
/r/MadeMeSmile portrayed toxic positivity which felt out of touch with reality.
“I made my bed today. First time in 14 years 🙂”
- 45 thousand likes and 2 thousand comments.
Honestly, with ADHD, that can be pretty normal. One day you forget to make your bed and suddenly boom, it’s been 14 years since the last time you did it. Good habits die so easily because they give no pleasant hormones and bad habits come so easily because they give you reward hormones.
I honestly make my bed a couple of times a year. Also there’s a theory that not making your bed is actually healthier because it doesn’t create a warm, moist environment under the blanket for shit to grow in, so I use that as an excuse. But really, I just forget it all the time and don’t care too much.
“This 8-yr-old sold his Pokemon cards to buy his mom a prosthetic leg after she lost hers to cancer. What an angel!”
(Eight year old provides free healthcare in a first world nation that doesn’t have universal healthcare for some reason.)
r/the_donald or anything like it. Kindly fuck off with all of that shit.
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”
When someone would ask a good question that you also wanna know the answer to, but then all the “answers” were just jokes bc everyone wanna get upvotes. I dont really mind jokes but those times it was a bit sad, then sometimes no one would answer for real bc i guess they see 10 replies and assume surely one of them is real already.
Also repost bots.
And apple vs samsung feuds.
And sometimes looked like whenever some people try to organize action or protests, comments just spamming that “protests do nothing” or “voting does nothing,” or “what is this gonna do,” not suggesting any other solution either, almost like trying to encourage apathy? Or discourage action. Sometimes i wondered if those were bots.
Also the r/wooosh when someone didn’t understand a joke. .-.

The general attitude that people have where they need to be right at all costs and will insult you for thinking otherwise.
Like, it’s okay to admit that you’re wrong and have your views changed.
👍
“This.”
Shitty repost bots. Actively ban bots pretending to be humans.
Up votes. Actually wait a minute.
In all seriousness, any dumb, little thought out comments.
I would like to hope Lemmy is the Reddit of old before the masses ruined it.
I’m loving Lemmy right now.

All that shit can go to hell.
Banana for scale pre-existed reddit, and is unlikely to die soon lol
But yeah, fuck the rest of that list, I’m with you :)
I feel like the lack of karma system will 100% help in this aspect. No reason to comment/post dumb things since you don’t really get anything with your post/comment is at the top.
“Am I the only one that likes this game?” (Image is a cartridge for Ocarina of Time)
Just general karma whoring…

The smug, smarmy attitude Redditors are known for even when they’re obviously wrong.
