    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.

    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.

      i think it’s the wrong direction to try to police questions but instead empower users with the ability to filter by text or flairs

    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 absolutely hate the love for revenge violence. Stuff like celebration people running over protestors in their cars because they were forced to stop on the road. Or bleeding out after someone got shot when they robbed a store.

    This includes that fact that you can basically guarantee every thread contains at least one comment claiming “play stupid games, win stupid prizes”

    “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
