Lots of wanna be communists that are well intentioned but have little real world experience
If anything Lemmy users so far have been much less annoying than most reddit users. I feel like I’m reading through less garbage, and comment sections don’t look like the same joke repeated ad nauseum.
My experience has been different. I feel like I see the same, “Linux is better.” Shit all the time. All the memes are also, “Windows user realizing this. Linux user not caring.”
People liking Linux is ruining your enjoyment of a FOSS platform? Tell me you appreciate the irony.
You seem seriously triggered about something you’ve been reading in other threads and need to vent, so go off, let’s here it.
People not marking nsfw content nsfw… Front page is a minefield whilst in public transport
That and fucking sexualized anime girls. Fucking don’t need that shit on my screen
When I first joined Lemmy I was happy with how few anime subs I had to filter compared to reddit…but it seems like the horny weebs are starting to make the switch. I hate that genre (style?) where they draw everyone looking like children. Gross
[Edit] love to get downvoted for saying that hentai with children is disgusting
I’m annoyed by all those Facebook-type boomer comics you see on basically all meme subs. Reddit culture managed to get rid of them, but for some reason people here seem to love them
Chill the fuck out with the linux supremacy. I hate windows too but linux is not as friendly and efficient as you think.
Extremism - Reddit as its share but also has millions of “normies” to balance things out. Here there doesn’t seem to be any moderates.
The platform itself is dysfunctional and will prevent any real growth in average users.
Just TOO many Linux fanboys/martyrs, it is a good OS but damn stop trying to go full on religion with it.
Tankies.
You can’t have a discussion about anything without some tankie blaming it on Ukrainians / the west / capitalism, etc.
“Oh you stubbed your toe on the table? See, tables are oppressive furniture of the bourgeoisie. The Chinese government wanted to make all tables toe-stubbing resistent, but that would affect IKEA’s bottom line and the pharmaceutical industry’s profits. I have a source from tankiepeoplesmagazine to back this up.”
I almost never see this, but I see complaints about “tankies” all the time. I’m not even sure what a tankie is, but it seems about as stupid as the term “woke”.
Have a look at comments in any news article regarding Ukraine. They will simp for Russia just because they are not US allies.
A tankie is commonly used to refer to someone who blindly defends the actions of the USSR, China, North Korea, etc. Going as far as denying human rights abuses and genocide.
It’s not the same thing as woke.
I made the mistake of mentionning social democracy once. This was followed by the most pedantic, insufferable and useless argument I have ever had on the internet. I had better discussions with wall. This was first and last time I was replying to those comments. It is easy to ignore anyway. Sometime you learn the hard way.

The amount of people that like to shit on the U.S. constantly… Like damn I get it, we definitely have problems, but people here would have you think it’s like the wild wild west over here… I promise I’m not fearing for my life every time I go out.
-
The extreme left views (I’m liberal myself but some of the things people say here really have me scratching my head sometimes)
-
The amount of Windows bad, Linux good posts.
-
The amount of people that immediately shit on Apple because of privacy, but use an Android device that accesses the Google Play store (yes I know you can install custom privacy roms, but let’s be real, how many casual users are doing this?)
-
People always asking if something is FOSS…
These are just a few off the top of my head.

What is a tankie?
someone who’s into communism less for the equality and more for the dictatorship
IE, someone who likes the authoritarian governments who incorrectly call themselves communist.
It’s really goddamn preachy. There’s a real sense of superiority a lot of users have that I don’t recall as much on Reddit.
There’s also the fact that small communities are dead and it’s next to impossible to grow them, so you’re stuck with the same people on the front page every day.
