No the endlessly repetitive puns were bad. They weren't the only things, but they were absolutely bad.
Exactly. Like, I get that people want to have fun and all and I'm all for it even if it's not my thing, but any relevant discussion was constantly drowned out by the pun chains and copypasted shit to the point that it was fairly obviously often just bots, but as long as a few people have their fun fuck the discussion right? Right... but I/you/we gotta be less cynical, as was said above the lemmy algo is apparently better with this stuff. So I'm at least going to try to be a little hopeful.
Yea the main reason I hated it was because I had to fuckin dig through a thread if I wanted to find a serious comment about whatever was posted. It wasn't so much that low effort puns and shit were common, it was that they drowned almost everything else out in a lot of subs. Like even /r/science was turning into a memefest at the end.
I guess we'll see how things develope here
