Asklemmy

These days on Reddit no one will read the linked posts and the comments are very circlejerky and lower quality. On the other hand Hacker News has mods (mostly just dang lol) vigilantly enforcing their guidelines to maintain somewhat quality discussions.

Another thing is a lot of reposting, bots, and excessive cross posting resulting in a lot of recycled garbage throughout. I miss the days where social media sites ripped off Reddit content, not the other way around.

making brigading more unacceptable here than it seems to be on reddit would be nice

I really dislike replies to questions that aren't really lengthy or offer any discourse. I always found people to reply just with the title of a film when someone would ask "whats your favourite movie and why?" on askreddit. Too often people would just write the name of the film and that was it, made the whole experience redundant. I feel like this got worse after years of being on the site.

Reddit gold.

Annoying clickbait titles on posts making you click to see wtf they were talking about - EG: "Can we take a second to thank this character in Game of Thrones"

Spez's involvement in anything anywhere. Seems to turn everything he touches into a pile of turds.

Fear of dropping the hammer down on bad actors.

Reddit had a lot of subreddits where the users seemed to hate each other and I'm hoping that can be avoided with Lemmy. I guess with the way Lemmy works, two communities that hate each other don't have to complain about sharing the same website the way they did on Reddit.

Pretty much accepted it was the end of reddit when that started appearing.... /s

That and 9gag immigrants

If lemmy can avoid the use of /s and 9gag immigrants I'll be a happy little lemonian.

Some people just like lurking.

The word "based"

Everything on that AMA

Massive amounts of cross-posting / re-posting of the same memes over and over again for klout farming. It's seriously awful on Reddit.
