Ask Lemmy

I'd love more political debate without censorship from either side. I want to hear every argument either side has, even if the argument is dumb. I want to hear the rebuttals people give for the beliefs I have, because that is the only way to check myself.

I would like regulation for these discussions to be more about personal insults, rather than if an idea is deemed too offensive or not (which is arbitrary to begin with). When a debate devolves into insults, there's no point in continuing the conversation anyway.

All the “helpful” bots filling the comments with annoying messages.

Prison rape jokes.

Fucking nazis...

Reddit culture.

Removing posts for no reason. It was damn near impossible to post anything on reddit because it would get "removed by moderators". It was so heavily abused. Boost still showed removed posts on my feed and at least half the posts I opened were "removed" and almost all the good posts were always removed. Fuck reddit.

Including typos, or just misinformation in post title to get correcting comments, "tricking" the algorithm

Power-tripping users that somehow have access to hundreds of sub-communities and lean heavily on automodding and just reacting by absolutes because they lack problem solving skills.

Shitty, unfunny jokes that spiral into lengthy comment chains that are a chore to weed through. Keep that shit on Reddit, because everyone pretends they're some downtrodden, unspoken stand up comedian on there.

Thought policing.

Word policing. Yeah I get that we shouldn't say n***** and stuff. But, why go through the trouble of censoring swears? I mean come on, we've grown up to have the privilege of airing those words out!

Sorting by controversial. It became an unhealthy habit for me. Almost like I was enjoying my anger.

“What the title says…” I hate when people start the body of their post referring to the title of the post as if isn’t self-explanatory, that the two are related.

Ads and rage bait content farm

/r/jailbait 🤮

Mass downvotes for saying anything that goes against a set narrative and that annoying oh no song.

People commenting the next part of a song.

It didn't bother me until someone else pointed out that it's pretty cringe, and ever since then I absolutely agree. Like why? We understand you know the lyrics of a very popular song. Why do you need to play a long and type comment the next verse?

Reposts, and people repeating the same tired jokes over and over.

people bot-posting for karma or similar bullshit

Power Mad Mods. The ones in r/StarTrek were horrible, banning people for any “negativity” and actually banning people for what they said in other subreddits.

Some subreddit that don't let you post.... question. Why? That's the stupidest thing ever.
