    /r/MadeMeSmile portrayed toxic positivity which felt out of touch with reality.

    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.”

      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.

    Bots. Endless bots where you don’t know if the comment or post is a real person. Sign ups need a barrier to filter out bots.

    I couldn’t see anyone else mentioning it so I will. Ads. My mind is at peace without them

    Ragebait like noahgettheboat, idiotsincars, publicfreakout. It’s the Jerry Springer of the 2020’s.

    “Sir, you have just won the internet” “Thanks for the gold kind stranger” “I too choose this guy’s [placeholder]” And the other corny overused reddit lines

    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!
