I was going to say 'a community full of really simple questions that should have just been queried via a search engine' (this post is a pleasant exception to what I'm used to ftr), but then I saw what community this was so my final answer will be: Onlyfans ads poorly disguised as relevant material for whatever community.

Gif’s that end too soon for “comedic value”but too often just end up feeling suuuper unnecessary and contrived.

Just stop that trend already, please. It’s 2023, not 2016.

You likely mean recurring ones, but the single event-driven ones make more sense? The recurring ones simply imho reflect a lack a technological capability to filter posts in as fine-tuned a manner as people seem to desire.

People constantly asking the same questions, resulting in the same answers.

Oh wow, people wish Firefly wasn’t cancelled? This is certainly new information.

Powermods and powermods bullying/stalking you just because you said something they personally didn't like. And no, I'm not talking about racism or politics. This happened over choosing healthy dieting strategies and being active in certain dieting subreddits. Yep.

Power mods... Except they are already here and banning opinions they don't like. Good thing it's super easy to make a new account on here.

A reason to leave

Not being allowed to put your own answer in the text box of an Ask post you made so you’re forced to awkwardly answer your own question in the comments.
