We’ve had a post discussing what subreddits you will miss so it makes sense to discuss the ones that, hopefully, we won’t see here.
For me, personally, it would have to be any subreddit about dating. Whether it’s complaining about dating or giving dating advice those subs really tend to draw those are bitter about their dating prospects. Just lots of anger and negativity in those communities.
If they existed here I’d probably look and sub and repeat the cycle… but subs like PublicFreakout that show either bad people (supposedly) or cops or narcissists getting some public comeuppance really triggered some anger against bad folks and injustice in the world in me every time, getting me a little riled up. Maybe I don’t need that spark all the time.
My city subreddit. It was filled to the brim with the most miserable bastards you’ll ever meet. Every day moaning, everyday posting news articles about a crime then acting like it’s so common its not safe outside, constantly talking about move to another country. Blatant racism as soon as anything relating to the indigenous population was mentioned.
I will not miss it and I pray the lemmy instance doesn’t follow the same path.
Any and all of the ‘rate my appearance’ subs.
PoliticalCompassMemes.
By my reckoning it was a reasonably fun spot to shitpost about politics and poke fun at each other, but when The_Donald got banned it seemed to pick up a lot of refugees (oh the irony) and the mods did nothing to stem the tide of sexist, racist, homophobic, etc. garbage. I used to pop in once in a while for a sensible chuckle, but after the change I blocked it.
