I loved Reddit for what it is, but nothing made me back out of a post faster than seeing the top 3 parent threads as a regurgitation of the same inside jokes, pun-chains, and so on.

That's your opinion and you're welcome to it, but nothing will kill adoption rates harder than doing the whole early Mastodon thing of "you should change how you behave here"

I believe the response you’re looking for is “Well that’s, like, your opinion… man”

spoilersorry, couldn’t resist

Don't worry! We'll develop our own new inside jokes to repeat and nauseum!

EDIT: I realized, 4 hours later, than auto-correct had changed "ad" to "and". I'm leaving it as it makes this comment even more obnoxious.

I think it's natural to want the majority of posts to meet one's preferences but what one finds interesting/entertaining/etc. varies for each person.

I love diversity and choice and so I'm happy that each community can have their own individual rules/cultures and we can pick which communities we want to join. E.g., I wouldn't expect the same behaviour/rules/culture in a shit posting community compared to an arch linux community, but I'm glad both types of communities and content will exist.

We can collectively choose what kinds of unique cakes to bake and we can choose which cakes to eat too. :D

Sounds like a good AI feature for a Lemmy client app. "✅ I don't want to see comments that only contain a pun."

@[email protected] (comment link) had mentioned server costs from hosting duplicated content which was a great point.

I will also add, that people's time is also a finite resource. And so we can all help by being respectful of the rules for each community (save moderators time) and additionally in communities where you are asking for help -- avoid being a Help Vampire.

Hopefully you can find some social media platform that doesn't have any other people on it so that you can live in peace from the dumb shit that other people post.

That's why I'm starting my own instance! With blackjack! And hookers!

Don't mind me, I am just waiting in the wings to "Choose someone's wife"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I also choose this guy's wife.
