Search something innocent and the first post is porn.

That time they made the up/down-vote arrows slightly smaller in the mobile UI, without notice or changing anything else, so we all spent a solid week confused about why we were suddenly misclicking it on every post. Thankfully, I don’t think it could happen here since there’s like a million different equally popular mobile clients, and they all release changelogs.

Unsolicited bot comments. One to correct a minor grammar mistake, a second to call the first pedantic, and a bunch of good bot/bad bot replies to both, and now half the comment section is noise. They’re rarely funny or interesting past the first time you encounter them, and their creators never willing to acknowledge that they’ve unleashed a pest.

everything i hoped to never see is already here and has been here since the original redditor exodus after that whole API fiasco the misogyny, the barely-disguised racism, the western chauvinism, the excessive hostility and pedantry, and did i mention the misogyny? holy shit there’s so much misogyny

Overly restricting and subjective deletions and bans for low quality. (Eg: /r/casualuk) Hear me out - restricting based on low quality sounds great, right? Until it’s your post that’s blocked. And you know it isn’t low quality, is unique and offers a new perspective. Some mods have genuinely forgotten that it’s (mostly) humans at the other end of their actions, or haven’t forgotten and enjoy being dicks.

Banning you from communities x and y as soon as you post in community z. Such petty BS

Some rando, with no special qualifications or knowledge, telling me how to speak, playing dictator, and locking or banning at whim. Oh wait.

Shadow bans. My wife tried to post a bunch on art related communities only to have her account banned without us knowing. She does oil paintings and other such art pieces. You had to have a history before you could post...which no one was willing to tell her. So her account got shadow banned. She gave up after a while on reddit. I dont blame her. I hope we never get so petty.

Bans and heavy moderation of content. I'm glad some of the reddit copy communities here like DankMemes died quickly because it was being run by the same loser mods from reddit. So far I've only been banned from I think maybe 2 communities ever. The only one I remember is one of the NCD communities because the lead mod was a dumb dumb. I don't really care about complaints of specific instance users because unpopular opinions and comments deserve to be seen, otherwise you create an echo chamber. So long as there is no brigading, it is much healthier to see everyone's input. Also I hope the r/Chodi crowd never finds lemmy lol.

Perhaps its too late for the largest instances, but the idea of a site like this being a spectator activity, about consumption, rather than creating *communities*. Some smaller instances, and even some larger ones, have an actual unique atmosphere and have larger projects across the instance. When we suddenly got a flood of reddit users escaping from the third-party API fiasco and the Luigi bans, that was huge enough to dilute some of the communities with large amounts of people used to simply voting and commenting, or having a website premade for them.

The Reddit culture of just hating on random people's objectively harmless hobbies/interests/preferences. Think "snark" subreddits and similar. And if you call them out on it suddenly you're the problem. Channel that hate toward things that actually do harm if anything.
