2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.

I always thought that was a sign it was astroturfed. Like my post? Give Reddit money!
This may be an unpopular option since I've already seen it across lemmy, but the ____porn communities. I'd like to browse pictures of nice landscapes or exotic cars without worry about someone around me noticing "PORN" on my screen.
At this point it seems very old internet, something that made sense when those communities were established, but now is unnecessary gratuitous and not socially acceptable.
I saw a post about a community created here called "pixel passport" which I thought was a hell of a lot better that "earth porn."
EarthPixels. CarPixels. PornPixels. HistoryPixels. This could work.
Those are great names! I would subscribe to more communities with names like that.
I really like that name. Way better than Earthporn. Thank you for sharing, I subscribed!
Link: !pixelpassport@lemm.ee
Indeed. I like 'Earthporn' too, but I think it should be all nature pictures that look like genitalia and suchlike. Rocks or trees that look like penises for example.
Damn, I had forgotten how obnoxious that was on Reddit. Blocked all of those years ago because it was just unnecessary and a gross way to qualify otherwise unremarkable photos.
It just seems so dated.
It reeks of βthis website was funny and relevent in 2009!β
The problem with the way their site works is that those names are stuck in place now.
It never bothered me per se, but it's definitely awkward to come across some chapter of human suffering on r/HistoryPorn.
Funny enough, the first time I heard someone use ___porn IRL (outside of all the 90s surf/skate/ski videos i Grew up with which were always called a porn)
was a chef I used to work for, back in 2001-2, l woman in her 50s at the time. Who would refer to 'food porn all the time.'
'OH we need a new salad for the spring menu- "go look at that stack of food porn (industry magazines and Michelin restaurant cookbooks) for inspiration"
Or "make me one of the swordfish special, but do it up for some food porn"
I guess its one of those terms that I dont really think of as dirty, or professional inappropriate anymore.
I agree. I think it's terrible name, and ti just invites unnecessary drama.
Nothing like someone peaking over your shoulder and seeing you're browsing r/AnimalPorn....
I totally agree with you. Hopefully lemmy can be a little more mature with community names. (Yeah, yeah.. I know the hypocrisy of my username.. It's my gamertag)
There is (was?) a βnosillysuffixβ sub that would aggregate all those *porn subs.

The βhivemindβ ignoring the correct information or even worse, encouraging the wrong information.
Does anyone else remember the whole Boston Bomber fiasco (i.e. We did it, Reddit)?
Unfortunately this might not be something from Reddit. It could be universal to all human communities. People want to feel that they are in the right but not be questioned, when countering opposing arguments is the way to truth.
A lot of people would just upvote the first bozo to reply with a confident answer and never bother to check for the full story. Scrolling 3 comments down youβd find someone who actually knows their stuff. I learned to at least read most of the comments before committing any Reddit info to memory as fact.
It's most noticeable when the topic being discussed is your area of expertise. Then you clearly see what kind of grossly oversimplified or even blatantly false comments get made with so much confidence and upvoted.
I tried to keep this in mind while reading stuff that I'm not an expert in, but that's hard.
Creative writing presented as truth
Oh man, this is something I definitely hope to never see again. I'm so tired of the unbelievable TIFUs, AITAs, and/or OffMyChests with thousands of upvotes that had obviously-fake stories.
The worst one (in recent history) was that TIFU with the student who slept with their professor's daughter.
Part 1: https://libreddit.de/r/tifu/comments/1379pge/tifu_by_hooking_up_with_professors_daughter/
Part 2: https://libreddit.de/r/tifu/comments/137u9bk/tifupdate_by_hooking_up_with_professors_daughter/
Part 3: https://libreddit.de/r/tifu/comments/1391lmj/tifupdate_i_cuckolded_my_professor/
I hope this kind of bullshit never happens here.
And all of the rage bait posts too (including in those subs).

"Thanks for the gold kind stranger"
You forgot to add the "Edit: " part because they always have to come back and edit every 2 minutes.
Edit: "Whoa my first gold! Thanks!"
Edit2: "Wow this is silly, thanks everyone!"
Edit3: "While you're here, let me tell you my life story."
EditAdNauseum: High pitched ear ringing
Karma-whoring. It's already started with the stupid "upote my can of beans" posts... Dude nobody cares about your internet points, either activity participate or fuck off to Instagram.
Can we stop talking about Reddit? Let it go.
Hey people grieve at different speeds. Some people got to acceptance on the same day, others are still in denial.

Ads.
Fuck ads.

r/the_donald or anything like it. Kindly fuck off with all of that shit.
Toddlerisms like danger noodle (snakes) or velvet hippos (pitbulls I think)
The ragebait fake text message screenshots that plague subs like antiwork.
Wow, your dickhead boss is stupid enough to put all of that in writing and has the exact same style of writing, spelling and grammar as you do? Isnβt that a coincidence!

Please don't let /c/asklemmy become like /r/askreddit, which had half of the front-page posts being the same sex related questions every month.
"Women of reddit, what non sexual thing that guys so makes you horny?"
"What is the sexiest thing you regret doing?"
"How many cocks have you sucked while your cat judges you while waiting for you to feed it?"
It was bullshit.
