everything i hoped to never see is already here and has been here since the original redditor exodus after that whole API fiasco
the misogyny, the barely-disguised racism, the western chauvinism, the excessive hostility and pedantry, and did i mention the misogyny? holy shit there’s so much misogyny
Certainly karma.
Abuse of power by moderators (which is already sadly happening here)
Banning you from communities x and y as soon as you post in community z. Such petty BS
Redditors- I mean AI, Ads, gold, archived posts, and probably more I don’t want to remember
Don’t forget deleted or spoiled comments
And my axe!
Corporate control
ID verification
Search something innocent and the first post you see is porn.

Repost bots and hidden post histories
Subreddits that do not represent the title and instead hate it.
I’m looking at you /r/china.That time they made the up/down-vote arrows slightly smaller in the mobile UI, without notice or changing anything else, so we all spent a solid week confused about why we were suddenly misclicking it on every post.
Thankfully, I don’t think it could happen here since there’s like a million different equally popular mobile clients, and they all release changelogs.
Unsolicited bot comments.
One to correct a minor grammar mistake, a second to call the first pedantic, and a bunch of good bot/bad bot replies to both, and now half the comment section is noise.
They’re rarely funny or interesting past the first time you encounter them, and their creators never willing to acknowledge that they’ve unleashed a pest.
In reply to a comment:
This.
Underrated comment.
(Under the very top comment or something incredibly basic and lame.)
I also choose this guys wife.
In fairness, that one does get a giggle from me. Every time. Even this one. Especially this one.
Giggity. (Please forgive me.)
Are they still as bad about assuming everyone’s a white cis het man, too?
I forgot about these kinds of comments ace I really don’t miss these kinds of comments.

Oh damn that’s a shame to hear. I hope we can get better without compromising on being anti-corporate
It was i also choose this guy’s dead wife iirc

“This is the way”
“Came here to say this.”
“This is the answer.”
“Beat me to it.”
… Followed by nothing else.
I do this a lot, but I atleast follow or with a paragraph of context.
Thanks for 1000 updoots!
