MODERATORS
“Leopard-face” replies masquerading as a substantive comment that adds something to the discussion.
It’s really no better than: “This”

Any kind of automated moderation. If you can't do the job you volunteered to do, don't volunteer. If you need more hands and eyes, recruit more mods.
Every single comment thread on anything that reaches r/all quickly devolving into the most unfunny and unoriginal jokes and/or references. Regardless of how grim/serious the original post was.
I dunno I kinda liked that. Something something broken arms
ngl I kinda liked that to some degree

Charging developers for API access after they go out of their way to make products that greatly improve the experience.
Edit: Thanks for the upvotes!
Novelty/troll accounts. I've seen a lot of them pop up on Reddit over the years. The most infamous one I remember was one called Gradual_****** (yes, the n-word) that would type out ordinary replies that would gradually switch to ebonics.

This
"This" used get downvoted into oblivion back in the day on Reddit.
OH GOD I HATE THAT SO MUCH. I shouldn't but I do
This.
And my axe!
I've never got that joke
It's a Lord of the Rings reference. Here's an explanation:

Karma-farming. Please lets just be our genuine, authentic, awful selves.
It helps that we have no karma. Also, some instances bouncing downvotes helps a bit.
fucking cake days
Thats already here.
edit: don't know why I was downvoted, its literally a lemmy feature.
A feature that's carried over from reddit is utterly random downvotes sometimes
The only way to stop that is to remove the downvote button.
People will always fat-finger or vote based on emotion.
don’t know why I was downvoted
I'm convinced there are people out there that just downvote everything. They get some kind of chemical release in their brains when they hit the downvote button. You could say "being happy feels good" and someone out there will downvote it.

They are, I wish them sometimes when I know the person. It's quite nice
All the tired puns or jokes about Nazis/Hitler. "Anne Frankly, I did Nazi that coming!" "You gotta hand it to Hitler, at least he killed Hitler." Etc.
It's the kind of thing you might chuckle at once, but so many comment threads end up piled with the same brain rot nonsense as people trip over themselves to parrot their quirky internet catchphrases.
Don't worry, we only have Stalinist jokes here.

Being a jerk and the hive mind
The hive mind might already be here, depending on who you ask. I was already left/progressive, though, so it just feels like hanging out with like-minded people.
Jerks I can do without, but they’re unavoidable. Simply not engaging with them seems to work best.
