What do you NOT want to see replicated on kbin? (kbin.social)

Or the fediverse in general.

I wanted to ask everyone their personal least favorite communities on reddit.

Whic subreddits do you absolutely not (personally of course) want to see recreated as magazines here on kbin, or as fediverse communities in general?

My pet peeve is CMV. I always felt while the idea seemed doable on the surface, the implementation within that particular subreddit with the delta system, the requirement for the top level comments to oppose the OP even if the "view" is an established expert consensus on something like climate change made it impossible to have meaningful conversations.

I haven't checked if we have a CMV magazine here, but as soon as I see one, I know I'm blocking it.

What is your "instant block" community?

TwoXChromosomes was kind of a victim of the fact that it was never in the history of Reddit made possible to change a subreddit's name without just starting over and losing all of the history (incl. top/all time sorting). When the subreddit was designed as a space for women and girls on Reddit thirteen years ago, they picked the name because of 2010 Reddit's very "science rules!" culture and wanted to evoke not just "women and girls" but "geeky women and girls that use the geek site for nerds, Reddit". They were trans-inclusionary over a decade ago, despite the name. Their current pinned post says specifically "Trans women are women. TERFs can fuck right off" in giant bold text.

I get being made uncomfortable by the name, but 2XC was trans-friendly before a lot of other more mainstream feminist spaces were.
