Banning you from communities x and y as soon as you post in community z. Such petty BS
Subreddits that do not represent the title and instead hate it.
I’m looking at you /r/china.Too late. [email protected]
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.
Censorship
Ads
Fascism
Have you been to feddit lately?
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.
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.
Whats r/chodi?
‘’‘r/Chodi’‘’ was an ultranationalist Hindu subreddit banned in the year 2022, after the ban, several users migrated to Telegram, r/IndiaSpeaks, r/Indiadiscussion, and r/bakchodi.
r/Chodi promoted Islamophobic and Christophobic speech, in addition to hateful messages against LGBTs (transgenders included), sexist and misogynistic messages and other types of attacks on ethnic and religious minorities, use of misspelled sexual terms to circumvent the Reddit software.
Their religious extremism and reactionaryism made the urban dictionary classify them as close to Islamic extremist groups such as ISIS.

“why dont you just google it smh”
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.
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
Repost bots and hidden post histories
Fucking Spezes
Redditors- I mean AI, Ads, gold, archived posts, and probably more I don’t want to remember
