What are some Redditisms that Lemmy needs to avoid? (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

For example, people on Reddit asking redundant questions and give equally redundant or unhelpful answers.

Whenever every 'What's the worst show you've seen?' is asked, you'll get 10,000 "Kardashians" answers, which is just easy karma farming.

If someone posts in a community that's geared for something like opinions, but someone elects to just go on a full scale rant instead.

Repost spam and karma farmers.
Also the bots that simulated activity by reposting the top posts with their highest upvoted comments from a year ago.
Cross-site/server bans because you posted in a community that the moderators of the one you are trying to post in don't like. Sadly already happening with many servers defederating from each other.

We need a new unit of measurement to replace the banana.

I have mixed feelings about this one… I’m willing to try on other things for size but no promises

I hope the stupid koala/sunfish/panda copypastas burn with reddit. It was kind of funny at first, but then it started actually convincing people that a bunch of species legitimately deserve to go extinct for... taking up an ecological niche?

Reminds me of how people used to laugh about blobfish. Then they realized that the deep sea fish - adapted to incredible pressure - doesn't take rapid decompression well.
