Lemmy.ml and Lemmygrad actually are terrible
It’s probably Spez with a second hand account
Why are you on Reddit, it is vile and absolutely terrible, better stay away.
Hey this is my first day on Lemmy and my first comment, too! Fun times.
Apparently there is a guy called Lemmy LMAO 🤣
What’s worse, a pile of dog crap or a pile of kangaroo crap? I’d recon they are both shitty
Both of these posts are complaining about their accounts being banned, which happened because they (at least one of them) posted low effort questions and therefore got lots of downvotes and got automatically banned by a system meant to ban bots and trolls. The irony is that reddit has major problems with their automatic moderation which you yourself as an user is completely powerless to controll, e.g. recently when a massive amount of nsfw subreddits were banned for being unmoderated which they later admitted was erroneous.
Anybody surprized by this?
Ima be real everyone is kissing lemmys ass but… I mean, it feels like reddit? Which is good?
Feels no different from reddit so far lol
The top comment on reddit is always a stupid fucking joke or pun. Not so on lemmy. That’s the biggest difference I notice when I go back to look at reddit. On popular posts the whole first 3 threads are inane bullshit.
“I also chose this guys dead wife”…
Like the inside jokes were really good on Reddit like the switcheroo one, or the guy that always had that whole comment that ended in the wrestling scene but most of them were just repeated to death
New here but so far it feels like Reddit used to feel 10 years ago - a bit less populated maybe.
Here, your comment doesn’t get completely buried if you make one on a popular post. Part of that is the lack of heavy volume, of course, but I also feel like the sorting is more favorable to less upvoted comments.
Yeah Lemmy has the user base that will dogpile you if you say something mildly upsetting
Windows 11 is the best operating system Microsoft have released in a long time, and I think it wins out on Arch Linux.
Windows XP was the best OS ever. Then it was overtaken by any other alternative.
Bait used to be believable
After 5 words it was already evident that you were lying
Main difference from reddit is that you don’t see the same joke repeated in every thread. And here if you comment something it’ll probably be read by at least a few people.
Thanks for the gold, kind stranger!
Those top posts on reddit are always karma farming bots
Not so sure about the jokes. I use Arch BTW…
Disclaimer: I actually don’t. I’m too lazy these days.
Same culture, less exploitation by a corporation.
I find myself getting into less stupid arguments here, and it feels more active.
Lemmy tastes like reddit that I have grown in my backyard garden.
Lemmy feels like reddit from 2010, when it was good.
An heirloom Reddit, if you will.
so small and bitter but you just smile through it and say “it’s so good! 😢”?
maybe I don’t know how to grow stuff…Tulips.
Lemmy is tulips.
All the way down.
You kind of just tipped your hand at your gardening ability. And also that you’ve never had a real tomato.
Even last year when my tomatoes did poorly they still taste so much better than supermarket ones. Tbh outside a greenhouse I don’t think they really grow very well in the UK at all but I was given them so decided to try in the garden.
Main things I am growing is rosemary, thyme, sage, chives, mint, garlic and opium. But I kinda want to start guerrilla gardening some fruit bushes. Raspberries would be nice to plant around town.
I argue mostly everyone here never had a real banana. No, the ones in the stores aren’t the original flavor.
Well, the one in the stores are real bananas. They aren’t Gros Michel bananas, but that’s because Gros Michel went extinct before I was born (and I’m not exactly young anymore.) We might lose the Cavendish before I die.
Supposedly the “banana flavor” in candy is closer to a Gros Michel than to a Cavendish.
Also: Gros Michel bananas have slippery peels. Cavendish do not! That’s where the weird trope with no remaining connection to real life comes from.
Woah. I was today years old when I learned the slippery banana trope comes from an extinct banana.
Stuff you learn from old cartoons, right? Like how shaking salt on a bird’s tail will prevent it from flying away. Where’d that go? Seems like I saw it a lot in cartoons when I was a kid, but haven’t heard this trope in 40 years.
And “real” wild bananas are basically inedible.
you are correct, I have been known to somehow kill a cactus or two.
Spider plants are going insane though, dispute losing >50% of them to the cold and rain this winter they are still living just fine. They’re like the plant version of cockroaches
Good to know, I decidedly do NOT have a green thumb either
Conspiracy theory those are actually written by Reddit themselves so people don’t go to the rival
Thats what people in the comments thought.
Good. If they are willing to smear us, they fear us.
DoNt gO tO lEmMy cUz MuH KaRmA ScOrE!
downvote bots needed
Wouldn’t work if it’s Reddit itself manipulating the results
I don’t understand why it’s still so taboo to say that opaque social network owner would manipulate their platform’s results. They absolutely do it all the time because no one can know or stop them.
Who needs bots? get up your old abandoned reddit accounts guy!
funny thing redd started to banning them recently. its an recent effort of them cleaning house of potential competing OF users, and bots.
They’re all perm-banned for reporting mods for fuckery but I’m with you in spirit
Am I a bot to you?
