For me it’s the fact that it has no karma system, so karma farmers or people who get big ego trips over having fake internet points have no home here, and with that comes the fact that there is no karma threshold stopping someone from posting in a community.
Yea this is a good one, its nice to post something funny/informative/helpful and see people appreciated it but it exists just for that post, not some accumulation of status that gets dragged around for everyone to see.
One of the worst parts of Reddit is the hundreds of reposts you’d see over and over and over and over, that were only reposted because someone saw that it got a lot of upvotes previously. Or the posts that were only posted because the OP wants some sensationalism upvotes.
Then you’ve also got subs that require a certain karma threshold to post, users to bully other users for having low karma, etc. Just a pain in the ass all around, that gets addictive because “imaginary number go up, that mean people like me”.
The karma system’s probably, at least in my opinion, one of the biggest things that ruined Reddit.
