It happened sometimes, but it was easier to filter those people out. Now those people have become the norm. Tinder absolutely is to blame for this.

Tinder ruined dating. It’s made interactions very transactional.
Several (attempted) murderers have owned copies of The Catcher in the Rye.
How’s Toxic Crusader? I never got a chance to play it.
Point taken, but moat of those are at least a year or two old, so the posters might not even be active on Reddit anymore.
I’m going through all time top subreddit posts to seed content here. I’m mostly grabbing links to other websites. Unfortunately there are a lot of subreddits that strategy doesn’t work for, though, if the top are all self or image posts.
lemmy.world appears on their list of blocked instances, as well as sh.itjust.works
I can’t remember anything that was a straight-up factual error. There was something along these lines from a private tutor my parents had to hire to make up for too many days I missed one semester due to health problems. One day when we were covering evolutionary biology she goes, “Well, I don’t believe in this, but I’m obligated to teach it to you.” Doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence, but I appreciate the candor. Which reminds me of the time in middle school a girl in my class said her grandmother believed dinosaur bones were put there by the Devil and the teacher had to give an awkward response to that.
There is one common misconception among English teachers that I think everyone has heard at some point, the difference between “effect” and “affect” being different parts of speech.
More than particular subreddits, there are some general things I hope don’t make it here. I don’t miss dumb joke comments being voted to the top of threads, burying the comments that actually attempt to answer OPs comments. Maybe Lemmy could implement a feature for OP to pin the most helpful response.

A truly phenomenal individual who worked on so much of what makes the modern Internet run: RSS, Markdown, Creative Commons, and of course was instrumental in the early days of Reddit.
I tried Mastodon a few years ago, but I just have no interest in the microblog format. Glad to see there’s a threaded forum version now.
