I want to start by saying I’m not a hater - I quit reddit and have been very happy here. These are just my biggest complaints about the fediverse:
The heavily-fragmented communities and the cross posting that it leads to. Lots of people posting the same thing on 20 different boards…kind of annoying for people browsing All
Tons of communities copied the name of subreddits but didn’t bring over the rules/spirit that made those subreddits great…so there’s a ton of homogenous communities
The mastodon/similar users using excessive hashtags and pinging everyone in a thread when they reply. Also I haven’t seen it recently (was there an update?) but the god awful post titles they make
When a server is having issues, the posts show up in your feed but the comments section just spins so you can’t interact
There’s a lot of terrible bots on here. The autotldr bot is only accurate half the time yet it’s usually upvoted…even when it makes no sense. The other bots I don’t like either repost shit from reddit or post every “article” (ads. Most of them are ads) from a few websites. The latter I can’t bring myself to block because there are some worthwhile posts once in awhile…
