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?

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.

Well, I'm a Lemmy visitor but still it applies to both of us:

  • Corporation sponsored instances
  • Bot nests and bots talking to each other
  • Unfunny circlejerk subreddits
  • Karma whoring and the same 5 unfunny jokes repeated endlessly
  • Ad backed instances
  • Defederation walled garden rugpulls

I hate ads and aggressively block them, but I think eventually there going to start showing up.

I don't think any large business will touch this with a 10 foot pole but could be great for smaller businesses if they can respect the community.

A constant stream of memes romanticizing and/or normalizing depression, alienation, hopelessness, or any other of those dark states of mind. Often after switching from Home to All, I'd scroll and just keep bumping into these damned things.

It's the volume that I find corrosive and even suspicious, to the point that sometimes I've suspected that the prevalence of these memes may be a deliberate, artificially inflated thing, just one more bot tool in the box for bad-faith actors to nudge as many people as possible to a passive, apathetic, unengaged state of mind.

Also I think that many creators of those memes didn't/don't understand correctly what depression even means in comparison to sadness.
