Reddit's in-jokes and overall sense of "humor" are lame and I don't want to see them migrate to Kbin.
  • I’m not a fan of the pun chains that somehow always ended up at the top of any Reddit comment thread

    There could be a post about electricity and one of the top threads will have a joke about Watts, amps, shock, resistance, ohms, and other electric terms. The least they could have done is use Siemens, but it’s always basic wordplay that anyone can think of

    And the worst part is that pun threads can be found any post regardless of the gravity of the situation. Titty post? Puns. Mundane news? Puns. A post of an innocent person being wrongly executed by electrocution? Puns.

    Everyone thinks they are/wants to be a comedian, and they’d rather post a low quality joke than to add to the discussion or not say anything at all

  • What communities ("subreddits") would you like to see?
  • The two that I can think of are Justrolledintotheshop and Fitness. I know there are fitness communities, but I miss the Weekly rant, victory posts, and the activity. There was also a circlejerk version of it and I liked lurking there. I understand that the type of person signing up here probably aren’t into some of these things.

    I know Justrolledintotheshop didn’t participate in the blackout because it seems like a lot of the posters there didn’t care about the API stuff. They also don’t care about their personal data being harvested, and I’m sure they complain about right to repair and all of that fun stuff too.

    Anyways, I always liked the “humorous posts; educational comments” subreddit. Another example would be programmerhumor.

    I appreciate the mods for what they do, but I only feel comfortable commenting, lurking, and the occasional posting. Posting content makes me feel too connected to the internet and reminds me to touch grass more often. Hence why I wouldn’t become a mod or create those subs

  • [HN] We Changed Our Lives Because of Our Remote Jobs. Now It’s All Crumbling
  • It’s due to execs not feeling productive while working remote, so they bring everyone back in so the execs can feel productive. If they truly cared about productivity, they would allow for remote work to continue and pilot 4 day work weeks. Instead the execs lack empathy and can’t understand the productivity gains from remote work

  • Seeing a therapist for the first time, 30 years old.
  • I spoke to my GP/PCP about thinking I have ADHD, and they gave me 2 options. Either prescribe me meds or refer me to a specialist.

    I went to a specialist who then administered me like 4-5 different tests/discussions. And they were able to tell me their perspective of if I had it or not

    The therapist might be able to help run you through some of those tests, and they might be able to sniff out if you’re bored or overstimulated instead. In either case, I would come to the first meeting open minded and have overarching goals and bullet points you would like to go over and take the discussion from there

  • Downvotes versus upvotes
  • I think it’s natural to have a stronger reaction to bad things more than good things. There’s something called Negativity Bias and it’s kinda why rage-baiting and (bad news) articles is so prevalent is because we inherently feel a stronger reaction to those than the positive counterparts
