The problem I’m seeing lately is that a lot of folks are bringing some of the things that were already unbearable about reddit with them…
Like “based”, “this”, “underrated comment”, etc… So much stupid lazy garbage.
Edit: to OP… The “this” referenced in my comment was not directed at your title (hilariously enough)… I only meant that one as a one word comment reply and didn’t even realize that was your title when I commented… 😂
I’m very surprised some hilarious twat hasn’t replied to you with one of those examples, which you can usually rely on. Still, there’s hope for this comment.
Unfortunately unless we are absolute in our condemnation of low-effort comments, they will eventually proliferate and become “accepted” and commonplace.
It’s not super common yet on Lemmy, but as we get more popular the race to the bottom for low-effort comments is inevitable.
That’s quite possible… All I can do is my part in downvoting them and voicing my discontent with it when appropriate in the hopes that some of the group who are unaware it’s annoying (if that’s any of them) may change their behavior when or if they realize it.
Accepting that is counterproductive to making Lemmy a worthwhile space that will continue existing though.
Keeping people around requires being more than just “not reddit”. It requires Lemmy to be a community of people that actually create value in and of themselves. Until they reject just being a secondary reddit and be lemmy the space will not mature and come into its own. It will remain a space that just takes content from reddit and rehosts it, one that follows rather than leads.
It really sucks that we are still detatching. however, people are moving things off of reddit rather than meerly reposting (copying) things, only the creators and mods have that ability.
For the question of why are we linking to reddit so mutch, it is a unique culture that cares about ravishing reddit. After that I dont know where we will be.
My favoite subreddit in theory was tiny but still somhow full of corperate scam artists selling to those at the intersection of sex and sad. Neither of which are the point the sub. the corrisponding lemmy community is free of that BS, the people are way happier. but it only has 5 members, 6 interactions a month.
Art from this period is so weird. They’d dress the Saints and such in modern clothing. It’d be like us drawing the Apostles and such, wearing 2023 swag.
I’m in the US and when I read the title I assumed it’d be a car parked in an insane way. I wish we had the opportunity to be mad at bikes haha. The closest is people dumping scooters wherever or they try to park them politely but then they fall over
I assume people putting themselves, or their personal shit in everyone’s way.
Yes Karen, you and your five friends, walking shoulder to shoulder, on the only place for people to walk, at a slow meander, DOES obstruct everyone else. And yes, I have somewhere to be, but even if I didn’t, get the fuck out of the goddamn way.
Cute. I was expecting that “I’m pissed because humans want me to do weird stuff!” face (my cats do this), but it seems that she handled well her first visit, no?
