Pun threads. They're not clever. They're the same, old, recycled jokes, and they just get progressively worse with every reply.
I would always downvote pun trains. I struggle to understand why anyone would upvote them. Incredibly cringe.
The fact that this is so consistently the general consensus here so strongly reaffirms my decision to move here from reddit. It's like we've cut out the cancerous userbase who were progressively making reddit more shitty. More toxic, hateful, immature.
It was bad enough with the irrelevant comments, but 1/4 of the content I'd see would be posted in incorrect subreddits. Like r/Awwww and r/funny shitposts had been flooding r/nonononoyes and mindless drones would upvote the content because they liked it, regardless of whether it was the right content for the right sub.
When I'd draw attention to it, the stupid responses I got from obliviously unhealthy users were always mind-boggling ignorant and always hateful. Now I can enjoy substantive relevant content here while those toxic morons self-destruct reddit along with their admins. Feels so satisfying!
I'm not too confident in this as an indicator here. If there's one thing Redditors hate, it's Redditors. I swear every thread in /r/android was filled with indictments of how out of touch /r/android users are. I saw the same in many big subs. They were big enough to have distinct cultures and countercultures of their own.
