“Leopard-face” replies masquerading as a substantive comment that adds something to the discussion.
It’s really no better than: “This”

MODERATORS
Novelty/troll accounts. I've seen a lot of them pop up on Reddit over the years. The most infamous one I remember was one called Gradual_****** (yes, the n-word) that would type out ordinary replies that would gradually switch to ebonics.
I actually enjoyed some of those accounts, but for sure some of them were annoying.
I recall that from many years ago. Some of the wayward white American culture on that site is definitely off putting. That user was generally received well which says a lot about the soul of a community (or if it even has one).

fucking cake days
Thats already here.
edit: don't know why I was downvoted, its literally a lemmy feature.
A feature that's carried over from reddit is utterly random downvotes sometimes
The only way to stop that is to remove the downvote button.
People will always fat-finger or vote based on emotion.
don’t know why I was downvoted
I'm convinced there are people out there that just downvote everything. They get some kind of chemical release in their brains when they hit the downvote button. You could say "being happy feels good" and someone out there will downvote it.

Outrageous and inflammatory comments just to karma farm if that's even a thing here.
All the tired puns or jokes about Nazis/Hitler. "Anne Frankly, I did Nazi that coming!" "You gotta hand it to Hitler, at least he killed Hitler." Etc.
It's the kind of thing you might chuckle at once, but so many comment threads end up piled with the same brain rot nonsense as people trip over themselves to parrot their quirky internet catchphrases.
Don't worry, we only have Stalinist jokes here.

Being a jerk and the hive mind
The hive mind might already be here, depending on who you ask. I was already left/progressive, though, so it just feels like hanging out with like-minded people.
Jerks I can do without, but they’re unavoidable. Simply not engaging with them seems to work best.
I feel like to a point it might be, but to a point in today's age and internet - everything is an echo chamber so it's turned into a "pick ypur poison" kind of thing.
That being said, open discourse and actual conversation seems more prevalent and easier to come by here then on reddit which is very nice.

Any kind of automated moderation. If you can't do the job you volunteered to do, don't volunteer. If you need more hands and eyes, recruit more mods.
