Add “brown nosing spinless wimp” to the list of acceptable descriptors of Spez
Fuck u/spez
This works here right
always and forever
Fucking crybaby
That…should be intolerable for redditors, you’d think this would finally make them leave.
I tested just writing “Luigi” and was banned for a day. I deleted my 10+ years account with over 200k karma. I was so attached to that profile, but I promptly deleted it after being banned. Fuck these billionaires telling us what’s ok to say.
Not the karma 😱 Bunch of weirdos
When I hear of a Redditor be like this I yearn to do things…
How much bullying at school must have taken place for someone to… no actually I remember there were people at school like this and this was the reason they were bullied in the first placeAbsolute losership of the highest order <spitting onomatopeia>
Words cannot describe how subhuman Redditors are
Orange sludge not even fit to lubricate the smallest gears of the society.
Well anyway, one has to enjoy the great sunny weather today with bbq and sun baths on my summer property so that’s about the amount of attention this topic deserves.

Well then have some modicum of self control and respect and do not fall straight into their stuff.
Besides, it’s not even about karma you see. It’s just that these “people” if you can call them that, are most opinionated yet most moronic units you could ever come across.
No sympathy for Redditors and their precious accounts
“Just don’t get addicted to the thing designed to be addictive. It’s easy bro.”
Stop feeding the troll.
Just don’t be a loser
I think they were using the karma count to show how much they utilized the platform, emphasizing how big the gesture of deleting their account was.
When I was deep in the Reddit hole I was obsessed with getting upvotes and avoiding downvotes. It was a dopamine hit. When I moved to Lemmy I joined an instance that doesn’t allow or show downvotes, and it has been a breath of fresh air.
I did. I got banned for “Musk fuming is fatally toxic”. The platform is dead now. I bet he has good dirt on Huffman.
If they didn’t leave after all the crap Reddit has pulled in the last year, they aren’t going anywhere.
Reddit is solidly shitlib. They easily get more upset over policy than their own lack of influence over policy. These are people who think the elites care about petitions.
Everything from the last year pointed to this, they just had to see it.
+1
Just a reminder that if Musk can do this with no ownership of reddit, you know the CCP through Tencent has been doing it for ages.
Shame that the “DAE CHINA BAD” being shoehorned into unrelated conversations has made its way over to Lemmy now.
The Chinese government is an authoritarian shitshow. This is objective fact.
Before you even try it, don’t “what about” and point to another authoritarian shithole like that makes China’s continuing abuses ok. It’s not, and there is no defending it. To attempt to do so is excusing it, and merely shows your ignorance and/or complicity.
Have you lived in China?
Have you lived on the moon?
I bet you are one of those Le Redditors that still think the social credit score is a real thing that exists lmao
That’s the best you’ve got? “lmao”
To quote one of the greats, “The Chinaman is not the issue here, dude.”
My permaban came from a post about DOGE. They deleted the comment, permabanned me, and wouldn’t let me see what I even commented. They said it was “encouraging violence” but hell no, I was making sure not to say anything like that. Wonder if I just insulted Elon and reddit decided to finally get rid of me.
Ya. The ol’ “encouraging violence”. Pretty much the same thing as “national security”
No shit, that explains Reddits noticeable change in moderation after the election.
Before it, it’s PC paradise now a days.
It feels like a warped in to another dimension. Did everyone start using only 5 years ago?
Reddit died June 2023
I don’t know why people are still playing with the corpse
Some people are just into that kind of thing.

I agree and haven’t returned but lemmy hasn’t hit critical mass yet… Like I don’t recall a post with over a hundred replies. Reddit used to have over a thousand on every reply on the first page.
I mean, does it really matter? Are you going to read 100 responses on a single post? I feel from Reddit that the larger communities get the shittier they get. More people = smaller intersection of common ground, which leads to dull content and repeating platitudes.
Legitimately who cares though? You‘re not in it for the money with Reddit either.
Like 6 good ones and a bunch of the same tired comments about poop knives, broken arms, same, this.
Here, at least most of the answers are real human beings trying to contribute to a conversation.
Reminds me of the scene in 300 when he asks how many warriors they brought. We brought real comments.
Literally the next post under this one, sorting by 1d top posts, has 147 comments
Might be your settings. When I flip the front page to “Active” most of the posts have hundreds of comments (though I prefer setting it to “Top Six Hours”).
I like “Hot” and “Top Six Hours” myself. “Scaled” and “New” aren’t bad if you’re looking for more content.
I also sort by top six hours but subs related to my profession or religious traditions both get too much outside noise from folks who view posts by ‘all’ and feel welcome to flood subs with comments contrary to the intent of the sub. Active moderation could help but there’s just not good moderation under most subs.
Tbh I’ve decided I can live with less and less of this. I’ll never go back to the giant ad covered spaces. But if this doesn’t pickup or even dies, meh
You obviously weren’t here for the guy who didn’t want to poop for days. There were a LOT of replies on that one.
Link?
How many of those thousands are actual good comments though? Last time I was there, I swear the majority of comments were from bots reposting the same comments that were in previous threads. It felt peak dead-internet.
This is often overlooked. The conversations are great on the niche or smaller communities available on reddit and the experience is great. But for the most part, frontpage and every other sub has been taken over by repost bots or repeated jokes or politics.
Same complaint. Reddit posts with 100s or 1000s of replies were mostly a few good comments drowning in spam.
It is worse, I was convinced I was having discussions with AI multiple times. It seemed to me that they were using some subs for AI to post content and then interact with human and AI. It is another laboratory to train their AI.
I used to help out in r/Botdefense
The amount of them was ridiculous and only because the makers made another bot to report them to us (with stats), could we even keep up. That was before greedy piggy spez shut down API access and now? Ewww
Won’t the same happen to Lemmy when it gains enough traction?
I think the lack of profile-wide “karma” is one benefit, so there’s not as much incentive to farm imaginary internet points and such with the same old zingers. Who knows, but hopefully not.
Hard agree. I didn’t realize how awful this felt in practice and how much I genuinely missed conversations until Lemmy.
Every popular thread I got into the habit of ignoring the top comments because I’ve seen them 1000 before. Like being forced to watch the most unfunny 90’s sitcom.
I realize now that I would only comment on other comments— deep in comment chains.
Coming to Lemmy felt like the difference between trying to fish a pre-packaged snack out of a vending machine (Reddit) verses sitting down for a high quality all you can eat brunch (Lemmy).
I’ve never considered that a limitation.
You only need one other person in addition to yourself, for a good discussion.
If anything, here I’m finding I actually get replies, because my comment didn’t drown among a hundred others.

I never really thought of it like this despite it being obvious. Very well said
removed by mod
As a fellow A’s fan I completely agree this analogy.
Same, once they violated certain principles, it was clear the site was dead. We need to do our best to build lemmy into something. It’ll take years.
IMO, as much as I dislike Reddit, moderation is terrible here and there’s some niche subs that cannot exist here because of the lack of moderation.
Luigi
I’m glad I got banned, Reddit is going downhill fast
It’s why I came here…
pretents to be shocked
The mods on Reddit are a joke anyway. But still, pretty messed up.

I’m not anymore because of this.
Inertia
I no longer have an account, but I lurk in /r/wallstreetbets to read the comments now that the market is so fucked.
deleted by creator
More content than on Lemmy.
Then lets change that
It’s hard for the subreddits that barely have any traction as is. But it’s entirely feasible for most of them. Is there a way on lemmy to have small communities new post always come up on the top of your feed?
First of all this isnt reddit so its not subreddits. We are communities here
And second: feed sorters exist
It’s hard enough getting acclimated here and then someone comes along and asks an innocent question or looks for more information and it’s all “fIrST oF AlL ThIs IsN’t ReDdIt” like no shit, shut the fuck up and stop being the problem with this site that makes people leave.
Takes time to quit an abusive relationship.
I’m here now cuz of this article :shrug:
