News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

So bold. So brave!
We don't do that here...
Virtue signalling?
No, the lame catchphrase comments that are the equivalent of "first post".
I didn't use the catchphrase I think you're referring to (Eric Andre?) but even if I did....the post I replied to is a generic catchphrase meme...so your point is kind of moot lol
The post title is the new mantra since the Reddit exodus, connected to very relevant content. It's not just a low quality comment void of any nuance and designed solely to capture upvotes from the lowest common denominator...kinda like what they do on Reddit.
Dude, that's exactly what this post is lol
Reddit sucks and we all know it. That's why the majority of us are here
Right, so please let's not bring the bullshit along at the same time.
You must be so much fun at parties
I think that ship has sailed. Lemmy is already full of the worst parts of the reddit community (garbage memes that never die)
If that's true, then why are you perpetuating it?
I didn't? I sarcastically called this meme bold and brave. I guess I should have pulled up a thesaurus and searched around to make sure nobody had ever said it before, my bad!
Catchphrases have cultural significance of having a shared understanding of the intent, both delivered straight and ironically. Your attitude is not conducive to a shared experience.
Or are you suggesting that you never use quotes of any kind, regardless of the source?
I'm suggesting that using a catchphrase as just a generic comment that could essentially be used on any meme is a low effort attempt at gaining reputation points. There was no message conveyed with it, no value was imparted to the discussion, and now we're talking about how I'm the one with the non-conducive attitude and not about the actual subject...
It’s interpretable as a sarcastic response to someone taking a position against Spez, catchphrase or no. This doesn’t seem hard to understand.
Do you have the same issues with people who learn Valspeak or AAVE?
I've already specified the type of comment that I'm referring to. Trying to drag this discussion into a direction where you can more easily win doesn't actually prove your point.
I will accept that you can’t see how they’re related.
And I will accept that you're trying to gaslight me by comparing meme catchphrases that really provide no value with genuine naturally evolved dialects. Have a nice day.
