I’m very surprised some hilarious twat hasn’t replied to you with one of those examples, which you can usually rely on. Still, there’s hope for this comment.
Unfortunately unless we are absolute in our condemnation of low-effort comments, they will eventually proliferate and become “accepted” and commonplace.
It’s not super common yet on Lemmy, but as we get more popular the race to the bottom for low-effort comments is inevitable.
Accepting that is counterproductive to making Lemmy a worthwhile space that will continue existing though.
Keeping people around requires being more than just “not reddit”. It requires Lemmy to be a community of people that actually create value in and of themselves. Until they reject just being a secondary reddit and be lemmy the space will not mature and come into its own. It will remain a space that just takes content from reddit and rehosts it, one that follows rather than leads.
It really sucks that we are still detatching. however, people are moving things off of reddit rather than meerly reposting (copying) things, only the creators and mods have that ability.
For the question of why are we linking to reddit so mutch, it is a unique culture that cares about ravishing reddit. After that I dont know where we will be.
My favoite subreddit in theory was tiny but still somhow full of corperate scam artists selling to those at the intersection of sex and sad. Neither of which are the point the sub. the corrisponding lemmy community is free of that BS, the people are way happier. but it only has 5 members, 6 interactions a month.
I guess a big Chuck of lemmy users come from reddit. Not because they actively chose lemmy, but because reddit became unbearable for them.
They will oft course generate a lot of content about reddit, since they are getting through a rough “breakup Phase”.
I would love to see more acceptance for that, maybe then the ex redditors will like it here more.
The problem I’m seeing lately is that a lot of folks are bringing some of the things that were already unbearable about reddit with them…
Like “based”, “this”, “underrated comment”, etc… So much stupid lazy garbage.
At least there’s no gold to thank kind strangers for on Lemmy.
Good point.
I suppose it never hurts to be thankful for the little things… Lol
Thanks for the little things, kind stranger!
gives gold
There you are! Gold, now you have Lemmy primium:tm: /s
gold, i dont know of I like it or deeply hate it
Or this is the way…arggghh stop
Agreed… Low effort and contributes literally nothing to any discussion.
I’m starting to think that the people that do these things are just reinventing trolling… Trying to get other people’s blood pressure up …
Well, congratulations if that’s the case folks… That shit works.
I do love being jokey, I can never seem to tell if I went too low or am annoying people, I never have done a stock one-liner before tho
As if!
