i can’t stand megathreads – no one reads these! no one wants their posts banished there!
This may be an unpopular option since I’ve already seen it across lemmy, but the ____porn communities. I’d like to browse pictures of nice landscapes or exotic cars without worry about someone around me noticing “PORN” on my screen.
At this point it seems very old internet, something that made sense when those communities were established, but now is unnecessary gratuitous and not socially acceptable.
I agree. I think it’s terrible name, and ti just invites unnecessary drama.
Damn, I had forgotten how obnoxious that was on Reddit. Blocked all of those years ago because it was just unnecessary and a gross way to qualify otherwise unremarkable photos.
It just seems so dated.
It reeks of “this website was funny and relevent in 2009!”
The problem with the way their site works is that those names are stuck in place now.
I saw a post about a community created here called “pixel passport” which I thought was a hell of a lot better that “earth porn.”
EarthPixels. CarPixels. PornPixels. HistoryPixels. This could work.
Voat, when it was still around, had this same discussion and settled on using _Pix for everything.
OnlyPixels sounds great, too, for a general community of nice everything.
I really like that name. Way better than Earthporn. Thank you for sharing, I subscribed!

When people turn a popular post into an Oscars Acceptance Speech
ETA: wow thanks for the upvotes!
ETA2: omg my first gold award?? I couldn’t have made it without my mom and Jesus through whom all things are possible
Everyone there just recycles the same old shit.
I remember when doing that was pretty fresh and funny.
I wonder how many sad Gen X ers are stuck on there because they are emotionally attached to their Karma score.
Creative writing presented as truth
Oh man, this is something I definitely hope to never see again. I’m so tired of the unbelievable TIFUs, AITAs, and/or OffMyChests with thousands of upvotes that had obviously-fake stories.
The worst one (in recent history) was that TIFU with the student who slept with their professor’s daughter.

I hope this kind of bullshit never happens here.

“Thanks for the gold kind stranger”
The “hivemind” ignoring the correct information or even worse, encouraging the wrong information.
Does anyone else remember the whole Boston Bomber fiasco (i.e. We did it, Reddit)?
Can we stop talking about Reddit? Let it go.
