I’m a socialist but the level of communism here gives me a headache. Wish I could block the whole hexbear instance
Their annoyance with Reddit users. “Quit trying to Reddit my Lemmy!”
Arguing about which instance is best / instance superiority / complaining about users from _______ instance.
My friends, we are on a collective group of web pages being hosted an run by individuals as a fucking hobby. Shut. Up.
To the admins, thank you.
Blithely continuing the blatant reposting of the same old submissions, especially the same two dozen years-old Twitter screencaps. Lemmy doesn’t even track user karma, and it’s still way too small to bother selling accounts for astroturfing! You don’t actually have to karma-whore here!

That’s a honest masturbation to internet points, without any impure motives. Gotta respect that.
I never understood the point of “user karma” on Reddit, it didn’t change anything other than some subreddits automatically banning users who haven’t participated in “less elitist” subreddits before.
Lemmy doesn’t even track user karma
Well it does, it just isn’t shown anywhere.
The privacy crowd that is rather large on Lemmy reminds me too much of a stereotypical paranoid conspiracy theorist, pushing for things solely for their privacy features, even if everything else about the product is garbage. 9 times out of 10, even the people advocating for certain privacy features have absolutely no need of them, and they get overly upset when certain criminal groups take advantage of these privacy tools for the exact same reasons they advocate to use them; they’re just doing very questionable things to necessitate the extreme privacy.
Hexbear neonazi tankies one one side, overbearing blocking on the other.
The word “tankie”. Thanks to Sync for Lemmy, I’m going to set a keyword filter for it right now.
This place is a far worse echo chamber than Reddit, and mods fall right in line. I’ve seen too many posts get downvoted to hell for simple opinions, and other ‘dissenters’ get posts removed that should have just been part of open discussions.
I’ve said this before, even in a lighter tone, and those posts mysteriously disappeared. I’m betting this one will be removed too.
Too many reddit users have muddied the waters.
On first checking things out, I loved how the nasty responses common in reddit threads was very rare here. Arguments here are commonly well thought out and give the benefit of the doubt. As more redditers switch over, they’re bringing the vitriol with them.
Also posting article links from Reddit. I prefer when the poster writes their own synopsis of what the article is about and why it’s important. Links from Reddit tend to just repost the click bait garbage from over there.
I mean, this is kinda just an internet problem in general, but it’s just a prevalent here on Lemmy as anywhere else, so it does count as something annoying Lemmy users doing. And that’s just general aggression
It seems like saying anything is a great way to get someone downright furious with you. Again, that happens everywhere, I just wish there was less of it on Lemmy. I think FOSS topics are a great example. Just in this thread alone you can see people already getting just… really worked up on both sides of the FOSS subject.
People get really aggressive about what qualifies as a good meme, ffs. And there also just a general culture online (it’s died down recently, I think? It was really bad starting in 2016, imo) of humorous aggression, where reacting in really aggressive ways just as a joke is really common, which leads to misunderstandings and causes people to get actually mad if they aren’t in the loop of the joke in the first place.
On a bright note however, I have noticed there’s a lot less bigotry being treated as acceptable on here. Transphobic memes and stuff of that nature would show up in random communities on reddit a lot more than should ever be acceptable, and they would occasionally (not always) get more support in the comments than they should. Here on Lemmy it seems folks are a lot more proactive in shutting that stuff down before those types get a foothold here. Hopefully it stays that way.
not the users, but there isn’t really enough discussion on here it seems like, just general memes. i like memes and shitposting but a man can’t live on shitposting alone
So many damn Linux memes and supremacy posting.
On a more real note though, a bunch of the smaller communities I was part of on reddit, and nearly every specific gaming sub I was in aren’t here, or at least aren’t anywhere near as active.
The wannabe communists and those trolls from Hexbear.
Same as reddit, really: sealioning bigots.
Lotta radical communities here who like to brigade posts on other, completely unrelated communities. Conversations were calmer with fewer slurs being thrown around a couple months ago.
