Really not a big deal, but the fight to say something witty/funny and unhelpful on more serious/non joke threads. Like not relevant or useful. I hated having to scroll multiple comment threads to find the answer/explanation for something. Related, but also the circle jerk or the same “in jokes” that get repeated over and over verbatim.

Low effort posts and low effort comments in every thread. It was to the point where Reddit felt like call and response to me.
Also, there was no way to contribute to the posts on the front page because they were overloaded with comments. There was always an arms race on who got the top comment on a post that had the potential to get a lot of traction— which means the quippiest comments were always the first.
It’s intellectual junk food.
I’d really appreciate not having to see any of the shitposting/edgy humor communities. The majority of the content posted is mostly misogynistic (see women ☕️ “meme”) or dismissive of the LGBTQ+ community. I think there’s already a self titled “shitposting” community on here and from the little I’ve seen of it, it seems ok. Only time will tell if that community becomes rife with the same dumb & edgy content from the subreddit equivalent. Also, no more FDS/Incel or just generally hateful communities.
Huh. I kinda thought CMV did a good job of encouraging actual view changing.
What I don’t want to see replicated is communities like UnpopularOpinion, where all the top posts are popular opinions, AITA, where all posts are one-sided retellings of stories meant to elicit “NTA” responses, and Confessions, where everything is total fiction.
It was already bad enough indulging racist/sexist/transphobic shitheads with platforms just so they could have "polite debates" (that they didn't actually care about, they just wanted pulpits); having a place specifically for them to come and have more debates they don't actually care about was an especially stupid idea.
As I said in reply to another comment, my issue with the CMV formula is the enormous megaphone it gives to very backwards opinions with the added bonus of wrapping a veneer of honest discussion around it.
It does encourage the appearance of changing views through its rules, but in practice, the longer a thread with a bigoted (or otherwise unpopular) OP kept up the appearance of an honest discussion without giving deltas and closing the discussion, the more primetime exposure it got.
Of course, this is my personal opinion, and I concede that the mods would sooner or later lock the thread anyway, but I always felt that it did more harm than good.
I don't want to see ad-supported instances. If you like using an instance (pixelfed, mastodon, bookwyrm, kbin, lemmy etc.), chip in. Keep the fediverse free from ads.
Sinophobia and racism against Chinese people. Yeah I know sinophobia means exactly that, but I wanted to mention it again because I feel like it.
Every single thread about China(non-political) turns into “China bad” and it’s so freaking annoying to see.
Huh I wonder why the general opinion on China would be negative.... /s
