I’m emotionally 15 does that count?
You’re only young once but you can be immature forever.
The real showerthoughts are always in the comments.
Lol my previous comment got deleted. Lemmy.world controlled by a reddit admin?
Edit: legit thought maybe it could be an error but my comment must have hit too close to the mark and was deleted! Lol
I think the influence on Reddit was deeper than a lot of people have considered. The hivemind was so strong it made it difficult to have decent and useful discussion, even the puns that muddied down nearly every post’s comments achieved that end. The amount of posts I’ve seen of people feeling much more comfortable actually interacting on Lemmy, in my mind, lends weight to how Reddit wasn’t a place for objective dialogue. That’s why it felt so adolescent, like sitting at a high school lunch table.
Reddits culture has become so…tiring. My interaction dropped significantly in recent years and more often than not I delete my comments as I’m typing them because I already know the response.
Yes, I got ground down by the same same discourse and tropes on post after post. I got especially enraged by “Came here to say this”, which added literally nothing of value to the debate but would usually, somehow, have loads of upvotes
that’s why they do it: karma farming. And that’s why I’m totally opposed to have Lemmy display user’s karma anywhere

/s pls don’t hurt me
Came here to say this.
/s hurt me daddy
I’m so happy I haven’t read a single pun or lyric/TV show spam thread since coming here. They were becoming unbearable, even worse then the proliferation of video shorts.
I wouldn’t say it felt adolescent. Adolescence is full of misunderstandings about the world, but usually there’s at least some internal logic where you can see how a wrong understanding is logically taken to the wrong conclusion. The start and end are both wrong, but the steps from the start to the end are right. At least that was what I remember from my days of adolescence.
Reddit actually felt more lazy than adolescent. It’s like most people just couldn’t be bothered to think (or read for that matter). The vast majority of comments just felt low-effort or even no effort (like the case where people just comment “This”) and opinions are formed solely on “what’s the first feeling I get” than then get defended into absurdity, because changing your opinion with new information is a cardinal sin on Reddit. Sometimes you could get an intelligent discussion but, especially in recent years, you get the equivalent of a thumbs up if someone agrees with you or just straight up hate if someone disagrees.
It’s so good because a lot of people have been waiting for a viable alternative to Reddit for half a decade or longer. It’s non-corporate internet, the way it should be.
It was like Mastadon and twitter, once they meseed up they got replaced, and alternative services become popular.
Unfortunately reddit was the de facto place to find information and ask questing and be sure to find an answer, now the communities are actually split in half.
I really hope Lemmy will get better over time, we could create briedges like matrix for some popular sub*s
Non corporate internet, just like the days of old 🥲
Statistics say that at least 50% of the internet are bots!
What do statistics say about their distribution on different sites?
I haven’t been here much since I joined last week, but one thing I noticed is I’ve barely seen any typos on Lemmy. While I definitely don’t mind seeing the occasional typo, the number of spelling mistakes was getting annoying, and it’s gotten progressively worse over the last year or so.
My pet peeve is when people put a space before the full stop or the exclamation mark. Something like this !
Nah. I still make lots of typos.
Ya bro u damn rite finalysumeonre has the guts to say it. I hope dis comunity stay crispy
I think people here might be more conscious of what they post, due to the relatively low quantity of things being posted here. On larger platforms, what you write is more likely to be overlooked, so people care less.
How do you even make any typos with all the autocorrect nowadays is beyond me.
I personally don’t use auto correct for a couple reason, so typos still happen from time to time.
What are the reasons if you don’t mind me asking? I write in 3 languages on the same mobile keyboard and it does a fantastic job correcting my spelling.
In my experience as a fellow polyglot, Google’s autocorrection is good most of the time, and horribly unusable once in a while. At one point it attempted to correct every single word in a sentence.

As someone with dyslexia I definitely still find a way sometimes.

Autocorrect is the cause of many of my typos
Autocorrect catches all my typos, and for that I’m eternally grapefruit
My autocorrect on my Galaxy s22+ is actually a detriment to me… It constantly changes “me” to “Mr” or “MT” and dumb shit like that… I spend more time correcting ‘autocorrects’ than typing text… Why is it so bad suddenly??
Yes… we. Are all. Adults…🤫
Totally. Yup.
Or passing some sort of turing test looking for adulthood instead of ai.
I don’t think that’s the problem. I think it’s mostly because it still has way less people (easier to mod), and also it doesn’t show user karma, so there’s no incentive to karma farm.
Karma is so pointless and I’ve never understood why you’d ‘farm’ it
They want to put that on their resume lol. like stackloverflow. Dear employer, look how many upvotes I got on this 15 year old meme!
please don’t randomly start some ageism crap suddenly now please. the vibes are good because we collectively experience self-efficacy against the corporate super power that is reddit. All people should feel welcome on lemmy
I loved reddit but there were definitely times where it felt like I was in a high school cafeteria.
Yeah the testing of boundaries gets old fast. it felt like babysitting someone’s bored teenager. I have a block list longer than my body and I’m tall for a person
I had a lovely conversation with a 19 yr old. He kind of reminded me of myself, only growing up in this crazy time. He was really thoughtful about his experiences. Any one here now is probably a touch more mindful, but we can all slip and be dumb or even bad people, and when there’s more people, it’s easier to do, especially when there are people who are sad or mad or whatever.
Is that considered a kid? Just curious about todays perception. When I was at that age it was considered young adult.
Hmm I kinda typed that in after reading further down.
Imo, it depends on experience.
more often than not, even highly intelligent people just lack exposure to certain things, situations.
I’d rather talk to that 19 yr old than many many many many many people who are not internet strangers to me (:
It’s about perspective, I think. A 19-year-old is technically a young adult, but is a “grown up” to a small child and a kid to an older adult. I feel like that 18-early 20s-ish range is some weird gray area that seriously depends on maturity level. I’ve met some very wise people in that age range who are far more adult than literal adults I’ve known, but I’ve also met some very, very immature straight-up children in that age range as well.
Then again, maybe that’s all ages? Hmm…
Editing to add: This is my first comment on here. I can see myself settling in and getting comfortable in this new space. I’m happy to have possibly found a new home. I’ll miss rif though.
Pleased to be here.
And no repost bots. Reddit top posts are so filled with trash reposts I have seen the 69420 times like I am looking back my primary school homework
Are you my mummy
Hiiiiiii guys! ~
I’m new heeereeeee! Am 12/f/cali looking for cutey cutey fweends!!! Uwu
*holds up spork*
This won’t work, Officer. If you are looking for pedophiles you should check out r/teenagers over at Reddit.
i cant remember the last time i saw anyone do ASL that wasnt in their 30s now
My immediate thought too. Nobody under 40 is pulling out the ASL
