A tolerance for the propagation of disinformation.
Room for disagreements is necessary, but so is stopping people who never cared about agreeing in the first place. Giving the dishonest this freedom has only silenced the honest by burdening them with layers of crap to cut through before their speech is heard.
I don’t care about ads on Reddit. They aren’t intrusive, although I don’t like fake “organic content”. I think the worst thing is seeing the same thing over and over again in the same sub, being reposted by bots. It’s OK if it’s from time to time, but they don’t even try to change the title.
Sponsored posts, banner ads, algorithms, and other advertising-industry fuckery.
A reply that’s just “r/(some subreddit name).”

People childishly self-censoring non-sweary words. “Sex” isn’t a bad word, but writing “s*x” suggests you probably shouldn’t be allowed on social media at your stage of development.
It’s also been nice not seeing the usual references in every single thread such as, broken arms, coconuts, this, endless comment chains of “nice”, etc, I think you get the point.
Edit - Thanks for the gold kind stranger! This post really blew up! Can’t believe my top comment is this!
Something akin to Against Hate Subreddits, that place is an utter hellhole which is one of if not the most hateful places on the site - hell even the entire internet.
The people who use it are also some of the most insufferable people you’ll ever meet on the internet.
I’d also like to not see single power mods rule over hundreds or thousands of different communities, that is also cancer.
