Something I WONT miss from Reddit/other social medias (beehaw.org)

Like most other people here, I originally came here from reddit. Ive been having a blast so far, and I much prefer the forum-style of this. After about a week of using Lemmy I realized there was something intrinsic to reddit that Lemmy doesnt have. And I wont miss it. Too many people on reddit were way too horny. I was really annoying, but Lemmy seems way more chill. Plus its refreshing knowing that the people on here arent all bots.

Part of that came from the same 3 questions being asked every 5 hours from new people. I'm not necessarily condoning or justifying it, but it did get rather annoying in r/Deadpool when every day there were 4 new posts saying "Hey, I'm new to Deadpool, what's a good place to start reading/catching up?" despite the first item on the sidebar and FAQ was where to start and the big bold letters on a new post screen was "READ THE FAQ".

Alternatively, I stayed away from other subs like 1911 because if it wasn't a Springfield, Colt, or $1400 custom job you got berated and told to "save more money"
