We’ve had a post discussing what subreddits you will miss so it makes sense to discuss the ones that, hopefully, we won’t see here.
For me, personally, it would have to be any subreddit about dating. Whether it’s complaining about dating or giving dating advice those subs really tend to draw those are bitter about their dating prospects. Just lots of anger and negativity in those communities.
I won’t miss the sex related askreddit threads from thirsty redditors that always appeared on the front page
The spammy ones with no substance.
r/nextfuckinglevel
r/thatsinsane
r/therewasanattempt
r/notinteresting
r/mildlyinteresting
r/oddlysatisfying
You know, the ones that kept on coming up on r/all all the time, but where you couldn’t even tell which of them it was by just looking at the posts themselves…
Many of those subs started out good, but the content lost meaning as they grew. Subs that were supposed to highlight really impressive stuff became mediocre, and not interesting/mildly interesting became genetic content.
I agree. I rarely used All though, so I didn’t spend much time in these. They are just super vague with no real discussion. All the popular subs like this were more comment and move on kinda thing, like youtube comments lol.
That’s why I like lemmy, it’s how I was using reddit anyway. Small community, get in to the discussion early. I don’t need to have a conversation with 15 people at once.
none. that was the beauty of reddit, I only subscribed to the stuff I was interested in.
My city subreddit. It was filled to the brim with the most miserable bastards you’ll ever meet. Every day moaning, everyday posting news articles about a crime then acting like it’s so common its not safe outside, constantly talking about move to another country. Blatant racism as soon as anything relating to the indigenous population was mentioned.
I will not miss it and I pray the lemmy instance doesn’t follow the same path.
PoliticalCompassMemes.
By my reckoning it was a reasonably fun spot to shitpost about politics and poke fun at each other, but when The_Donald got banned it seemed to pick up a lot of refugees (oh the irony) and the mods did nothing to stem the tide of sexist, racist, homophobic, etc. garbage. I used to pop in once in a while for a sensible chuckle, but after the change I blocked it.
