I didn't mind the poems at first. When they first popped up, it was only every now and then and they were generally shorter in length and easy to quickly read and digest. Over time, they turned into full-on 10 minute poems with 40 stanzas that flooded every single post. It was no longer novel and I just ignored them every time. Basically, if I see you in every thread, it's no longer enjoyable. Find a new thing.
I also hate the dog speak. I don't mind it for like, a half second, but anything longer than that and I'm done. I'll post a pic of my puppy sleeping and a friend will respond "pubby sleeb" and that's the end of it. On Reddit, it would be every person responding "heckin big sleeb" or "smol slep" and all that. One of my least favorite communities was that one where the whole shtick was that they'd post a picture of a dog and everyone would speak like babies.
