i can’t stand megathreads – no one reads these! no one wants their posts banished there!
This may be an unpopular option since I’ve already seen it across lemmy, but the ____porn communities. I’d like to browse pictures of nice landscapes or exotic cars without worry about someone around me noticing “PORN” on my screen.
At this point it seems very old internet, something that made sense when those communities were established, but now is unnecessary gratuitous and not socially acceptable.
I saw a post about a community created here called “pixel passport” which I thought was a hell of a lot better that “earth porn.”
I really like that name. Way better than Earthporn. Thank you for sharing, I subscribed!

Indeed. I like ‘Earthporn’ too, but I think it should be all nature pictures that look like genitalia and suchlike. Rocks or trees that look like penises for example.
EarthPixels. CarPixels. PornPixels. HistoryPixels. This could work.
Voat, when it was still around, had this same discussion and settled on using _Pix for everything.
There is (was?) a ”nosillysuffix” sub that would aggregate all those *porn subs.
Nothing like someone peaking over your shoulder and seeing you’re browsing r/AnimalPorn…
I totally agree with you. Hopefully lemmy can be a little more mature with community names. (Yeah, yeah… I know the hypocrisy of my username… It’s my gamertag)
Damn, I had forgotten how obnoxious that was on Reddit. Blocked all of those years ago because it was just unnecessary and a gross way to qualify otherwise unremarkable photos.
Can we stop talking about Reddit? Let it go.
Hey people grieve at different speeds. Some people got to acceptance on the same day, others are still in denial.
…there is nothing to grieve…it is a website…
I was a daily reddit user since 2008. I don’t know anything else. The withdrawal symptoms were absolutely brutal until I figured out how Lemmy works.
Leaving reddit was harder than quitting nicotine. Let me grieve.
You are allowed to grieve whatever you feel you lost, even a website.

(I’m so sorry. I couldn’t resist)
You maybe should have tried harder to resist.
When people turn a popular post into an Oscars Acceptance Speech

I also hate “happy cake day”, and “this”. Especially “this”. It’s a worthless comment that adds nothing more to the discussion than a simple upvote.

Please don’t let /c/asklemmy become like /r/askreddit, which had half of the front-page posts being the same sex related questions every month.
“Women of reddit, what non sexual thing that guys so makes you horny?”
“What is the sexiest thing you regret doing?”
“How many cocks have you sucked while your cat judges you while waiting for you to feed it?”
It was bullshit.
The “hivemind” ignoring the correct information or even worse, encouraging the wrong information.
Does anyone else remember the whole Boston Bomber fiasco (i.e. We did it, Reddit)?
Perma bans
perma bans him(joking of course ;D )
The ragebait fake text message screenshots that plague subs like antiwork.
Wow, your dickhead boss is stupid enough to put all of that in writing and has the exact same style of writing, spelling and grammar as you do? Isn’t that a coincidence!

This is posted in sarcasm as I always hated that kind of response
My cat didn’t get any love over on insert community name here. I hope you guys updoot me more than they did.
updoot
WORST.
Karma, and assholes who intentionally try and misrepresent an OP because he wasn’t eating everyone’s ass in the first post.
Ads and rage bait content farm
Karma-whoring. It’s already started with the stupid “upote my can of beans” posts… Dude nobody cares about your internet points, either activity participate or fuck off to Instagram.
Creative writing presented as truth
“Thanks for the gold kind stranger”

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.
