What do you NOT want to see replicated on kbin? (kbin.social)

Or the fediverse in general.

I wanted to ask everyone their personal least favorite communities on reddit.

Whic subreddits do you absolutely not (personally of course) want to see recreated as magazines here on kbin, or as fediverse communities in general?

My pet peeve is CMV. I always felt while the idea seemed doable on the surface, the implementation within that particular subreddit with the delta system, the requirement for the top level comments to oppose the OP even if the "view" is an established expert consensus on something like climate change made it impossible to have meaningful conversations.

I haven't checked if we have a CMV magazine here, but as soon as I see one, I know I'm blocking it.

What is your "instant block" community?

Hidden up/down totals
Hidden up/downvote names (I understand the concern about the info being scraped by advertisers, but it should stay visible at least to the person who left the comment and the magazine moderators)
Generally high amounts of toxicity

I disagree with you strongly about the up/downvote anonymity. That mechanic is meant to be anonymous, rather than comments, which are voluntary deanonymization. If they don't change to be anonymous, and soon, on kbin, I'm going to stop interacting completely.

It's meant to be anonymous on Reddit, but it doesn't seem to be meant to be anonymous here. Accountable downvoting seems to me like it's something that'll keep the conversation a lot less toxic, and discourage people from just quietly downvoting other people who are participating in the discussion but disagree with them.

Non-anonymous downvoting is a bad mechanic, particularly since downvotes are tied to a comment's prominence in the discussion. If you're too embarrassed to be seen downvoting something, maybe you're doing something wrong. I don't have any problem being seen downvoting bigotry or trolling, but if I downvote somebody for disagreeing with me and having a good point, maybe I ought to feel a bit ashamed of that.
