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.

    I can’t tell you how many of those people I’ve had to ban from various subs just because they wander in and alt-right the place up. EVERY SINGLE PERSON I’ve banned for hate speech posted there. Literally all of them.

      Bro I know, they’re nut cases. Took a right wing nationalist turn real quick over the last year. A lot of the posts had 0 content about silver itself. Think it’s just another right wing discussion board at this point.

      Silverbugs was alright. I guess we’ll need another silver board eventually.

    The spammy ones with no substance.

    r/nextfuckinglevel
    r/thatsinsane
    r/therewasanattempt
    r/notinteresting
    r/mildlyinteresting
    r/oddlysatisfying

    You know, the ones that kept on coming up on r/all all the time, but where you couldn’t even tell which of them it was by just looking at the posts themselves…

    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.

    I know it’s only a matter of time until it shows its ugly face again, but I really got sick of r/tifu. I swear most stories on there were creative writing pieces that boiled down to “tifu by sexing so hard that a person found out and now I’m embarassed”. Great that it’s not clogging up my feed any longer.

      Some were quite good even as creative writing exercises but most were definitely just annoying. Don’t follow it anymore either but I don’t mind reading the occasional story on all
