i can’t stand megathreads – no one reads these! no one wants their posts banished there!
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.
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.
It never bothered me per se, but it’s definitely awkward to come across some chapter of human suffering on r/HistoryPorn.
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.”

Least original post: the dumbass comments parroting the same joke from 2018. It’s not even bots, it’s the zeitgeist and it’s only gonna get worse. Insert ‘old_man_shouts_at_sky.gif’
