Privacy is my first concern. I only want to partake anonymously (Don't try to argue it isn't really anonymous, that isn't the point.)
I use it to spread my interests actually, so I don't need social media to keep up with friends or family. I like to have slower channels of communication here.
Anonymous users don't eradicate self presentation completely, but it is on a whole other level compared to most common social media users. I prefer harsh and honest to fake and nice for any impersonal exchange on the net.

Moderators. They take themselves too seriously and are often far too engaged and enforce arbitrary rules. That wouldn't be that bad if many didn't try to form a club of moderators to feel superior to their users (Yes, I am thinking of reddit). On most platforms moderation is decent, but I heavily prefer the hands off approach.
4.1 Algorithms themselves. I know Tiktok is successful and popular with many. But for me it is basically TV. Instead of such a model, I would prefer a simple search function. Otherwise the most benign content will always be way ahead. Such type of algorithms will always prefer trash to real content, which is a runaway effect if the algorithm promotes it to more and more people.
