What are the bad patterns of Reddit to never repeat on Lemmy?
A few examples include s*x questions on askreddit, "this" comments, nolife powermods, jokes being more frequent than actual answers

Ragebait. It's boring and pointless, and it brings out the worst in everyone. I never understood the appeal of being a "troll" though, so idk.
Something else I don't miss, and maybe this is a little more personal, but often when I would try to participate in a conversation, my comment would get auto-removed for some rule/etiquette based reason I could never really wrap my head around. Like, derailing? I thought I knew what that meant, but had comments removed when I was like, "yeah that answer really resonates with me too! My 123 is xyz."
Lemmy so far has been much more welcoming to the neurodiverse and I appreciate the organic, freeflowing nature of conversation here.
Obviously, if someone's being provocatively hateful / an obvious troll, then nuke 'em.
But if people are just trying to join in on the conversation, don't be a pedantic dick about exactly what kind of conversation is allowed. It had gotten to the point where I was afraid to comment at all for fear I'd be doing it wrong.
I think being a troll should go like this, and I'll use the wiae Tom Scott's words here because he summed it up pretty well
"it turns out that while mocking the government is a reasonably good gag, mocking the government and then having the government not find it funny, that is a really good gag."
The moral here, don't just troll random people with lives to life. Troll the government and arsehole corporations.
The second release of Morbius was the kind of trolling I love to see.
Please tell the German speaking, highly pro-Last Generation/Extinction Rebellion instances this.
