there are far too many GOOD subreddits that don't do any cringe stuff mentioned in the OP.
just stay out of r/popular and you are golden.

Reddit mannerisms and patterns have become completely insufferable

Yep, all the big subs are just karma farming now. Yea, some threads here will get a few joke posts in a row occasionally, but reddit is never serious at all.
Then why not implement a minimum character requirement for posts? Seriously, what kind of contribution could a 5 character word make to a conversation anyway? This is a discussion board, not a reaction board.
Also, restrict the amount of times a post can be quoted. This will stop dogpiling and 'first post' masturbation posts clogging shit up.
Is there an addon or extension that will search the text on a page and remove "so, uh" or "I mean"? I've never seen an instance where they've added anything to a statement and just makes the poster look like a bumbling, rambling fool.
On the subject of Reddit, it's a dog! Not a pupper, not a doggo, not a good boy, it's a fucking dog. Your childish mannerisms don't make you look cute or playful and full of childlike wonder.
"X level 99" can fuck off too.
To be honest, a lot of it just seems like a load of people who never had friends at school to have in-jokes with; and posting the same shit phrases and memes as everyone else makes them finally feel like they are part of a social circle.
It's all about what kind of subs you follow because I don't notice it as much.
Most of the /r/ I follow have awesome people in it.

This is exactly why voting based message boards like Reddit are the worst.
They don't encourage quality posting. They encourage hivemind and meme based posting.
It's a big factor as to why I find Reddit to be an insufferable platform and vastly prefer Era.

you say that, but the hiveminds and shitposts here aren't any better

Yes, lttp threads where the OP is currently mid way through the film/game they want to discuss.
There's no rush. Nobody but nobody is waiting on your Ill considered opinions of something you've not finished.
Full stop is my most hated here. It's literally designed to end discussion. Might as well type /thread. The post should speak for itself.
Also, the increase in "weird flex" seems forced but perhaps I'm too old.
Last one to get off my chest:
Using "y'all" when I wonder if the poster only says it to bolster their point by sounding more Everyman-like but I'm suspicious that they probably never use it in actual speech.

Me and most others who are neither native english speakers nor live in such a country... kinda have to wing it with the slang we use while participating in a heavily american community.
This is why I stopped browsing imgur years ago. False news, fake info and everyone sounds like the same bot posting the same jokes or puns for those glorious internet points. The downvoted section was always more entertaining than anything else.
So can we talk about this thread? People be criticising Reddit for having their own manners of speech when, I mean, it's almost as if communities develop their own manners of speech. Ya'll need to rethink things because it's just not a good look to be criticising Reddit like this. These kinds of hot takes were common at """the old place""" and they are here as well, I thought we would be better tbh. It's as bad a take as the Star Wars fanboys who wanted Luke to be a Jedi Messiah in The Last Jedi. Frankly, if this were a thread about "Seddit" the hate wouldn't be nearly as pronounced. ResetERA fanboys just need to chill because what they're doing here is just cringe.
The thread backfire in here is real. Just... yikes.

Yikes.
Mega Yikes.
Big Yikes.
Maximum Cringe.
Oh look he did it.
This is the most insufferable internet trend of recent years. I've run into people who will literally not call dogs "dogs" anymore because of it.
"Yikes"
"That's a hard pass from me dog"
[citation needed]
Era's full of this crap too. It's not a Reddit thing.

Try having a friend who uses shit like this when you text with them.
OP, you forgot "X here", which has even made its way onto Twitter annoyingly enough, where people are going "Chelsea here .....". Do you need to announce yourself and say your own name when posting from your twitter account meaning everyone already know that its you?
Its annoying on reddit too because you usually find it in threads asking for advice and anyone giving said advice will preface it with "Doctor here" before spouting off information that can be found on the first page of results when you just google the problem.

Man Av club became a lot less fun or at least it's comment section ever since the redesign
Forums of all sorts are very predictable. Some threads I read the title and I've got the whole thing mapped out already.
