After migrating from Reddit, it’s jarring that comment sections aren’t cluttered with hashtag-style comments that are just links to subreddits like /HoLuP/

I love that comment sections here are like, y’know, discussions and stuff. Not just the same jokes and parroted phrases over and over and over.

Same. It's not intrinsically bad, it was abused, but often useful

I just didn't like when people would use them to make fun of each other. Like commenting "r/wooosh" for someone just asking for clarification on something. Using it to say "this comment or post would be appropriate for this subreddit" is fine imo. I just don't like when people try to put others down to make themselves feel better than other people.

I could tolerate almost every redditism if it weren't for the belittling, argumentative, and self-righteous tones that permeated every front page discussion
