I really hope that the political communities don't devolve into just useless name calling.

What I like are the comments that discuss the nuances of politics. Why things happen the way they do and the strategies, OR even other people's takes on a topic.

What Reddit turned into was is an ass or is <Stupid/fascists/baby killers> Or is too old and stupid. Nothing of substance just writing the same thing someone else wrote in the last post. Got really boring.

Toxic gatekeeping in communities.

r/thathappened or any variation of the above, or even stupider, one of those posting the name of the sub and some goofball below asks to be included in the picture of the post that they uploaded to said subreddit

Snarkiness, snobbery, walking on eggshells, opinion downvotes and in general the unbearable attitude of most redditors.

Some subreddit that don't let you post.... question. Why? That's the stupidest thing ever.

This is (mostly) only in car subreddits, but actual car owners getting insulted and ridiculed for their new car choice by teenagers. I've seen this before on Reddit and this triggers me to no end.

I don't care about ads on Reddit. They aren't intrusive, although I don't like fake "organic content". I think the worst thing is seeing the same thing over and over again in the same sub, being reposted by bots. It's OK if it's from time to time, but they don't even try to change the title.

Leftie spaces being overtaken by USSR\China\North Korea stans. That just another win for opponents.

Awards. At least in Apollo you could hide them.
