What are the bad patterns of Reddit to never repeat on Lemmy?

I agree the balance is difficult and I agree asking later sometimes yields different results. My for instance about a sub and corresponding question asked endlessly is the privacy guides sub where people ask something like: "I'm using brave or firefox browser how do I be more private?"

Like my man you are on a discussion sub for a website literally full of instructions and recommendations with a link to that site pinned to the top of the sub. My goodness it can barely slap you in the face any harder.

It's not as bad as it was but the question is so vague that it almost demands follow up questions like what country, what threat model and what OS? It's not as bad anymore but it got super old and its the questions that are too general to be helpful and repeated hundreds of times over that really depressed me to read.

LPT: If someone makes an inappropriate joke you don't like then play dumb. This will wreck the joke and might even get them to stop.

I am all for free speech in public. It's traditional to keep things professional at work and not every workplace is the same so everyone can find a place where they can express themselves however they want. When you on deployment and your boss repeatedly makes sexual harassment jokes and you can't just leave the military then it's more of a problem.
