What do you NOT want to see replicated on kbin? (kbin.social)

Or the fediverse in general.

I wanted to ask everyone their personal least favorite communities on reddit.

Whic subreddits do you absolutely not (personally of course) want to see recreated as magazines here on kbin, or as fediverse communities in general?

My pet peeve is CMV. I always felt while the idea seemed doable on the surface, the implementation within that particular subreddit with the delta system, the requirement for the top level comments to oppose the OP even if the "view" is an established expert consensus on something like climate change made it impossible to have meaningful conversations.

I haven't checked if we have a CMV magazine here, but as soon as I see one, I know I'm blocking it.

What is your "instant block" community?

That's hard to avoid on such a huge site where something like 50ish percent of the userbase is American. I totally agree with you though - it's super irratating to be on a sub, talking about friggin Spiderman's webfluid or something, and some dumbass in the comments has to relate the debate back to some American Republican talking points or something.

I find your lack of respect for the hyphen in Spider-Man disturbing

Spider-Man is Peter Parker. Spiderman is Tatsuya Yamashiro.

Having recently watched the latest Spiderman movie, wut?

I'm just making up a throwaway example. Once upon a time there was a debate about whether Spidey's webfluid should be organic or if he should have webshooters. I'm personally in the webshooter camp - it's one of the great examples we get of Peter being a genius who was so smart he could invent something so spectacular at such a young age with limited resources and no help. I really hated the organic idea. I thought it dumbed Pete down and was contradictory to the established character. And, I'm just saying, those kinds of discussions are the worst place to run into some idiot that can't help but interject their personal politics, or mention their favorite candidates/pols for no reason. I always thought it must be just exhausting to be so totally consumed with poitics that you have to try to bring it up in every conversation, no matter how much of a non sequitur it ends up being.

Also...

Organic spideyfluid would be A-OK if he shot it out of his ass! Shooting it out of wrists doesn't make any goddam sense!

If Spiderman shot webs out of his arsehole I might actually go and see one of those dumb films for a change

Well... a cat spits out a web ball in the latest Spiderman... does that work?

Much like Brown Widow from Ventrue Bros.

Ventrue Bros. sounds like an awesome Vampire chronicle.

This is the VtM campaign I didn't know I needed.
