[–] LetterboxPancake 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't miss gold, and I forgot about it being a thing until now.

Remember how they took silver, a free joke gift, and monetized it?

One of those is not like the rest and doesn't truly deserve to be on the list – "username checks out". All the others provide absolutely no value, while "username checks out", at least, lets you notice a potential humorous situation which you might not have noticed otherwise.

Good point.

Edit: ahh, I mean: Underrated Comment.

Username doesn't check out.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Sadly, I was born with uncheck outable username disorder.

We should probably stop masturbating the dead horse.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

No. But I’m down to stop talking about Reddit if you want

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This is what I don't get. I feel like one of the main things I see here is talk about reddit. Ffs, move on

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I hear you, and I'm 100% ready to, also, but its understandable for people to keep talking about reddit by comparison when lemmy is clearly essentially a reddit clone.

I also choose this guy's dead complaints.

I like those comments. Most funny posts become even funnier because of the comment section.

You people sound really bitter tbh.

Underrated comment right here

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Not only bitter, lots of people here are dissing reddit like it's a recent ex.

Some of those frequently repeated comments (well not stuff like "this") are completely organic memes that have come out of that community, which most of us were part of, me personally for over a decade. Now we suddenly hate everything we were part of?

I'm kinda tired of the reddit bashing here. I'm not going to leave over it, but it doesn't add any value whereas some of the other content has been excellent.

I understand why it's not remembered positively, but this is what got me into Reddit. A bunch of dumbasses around the world sharing a sense of humour with other dumbasses on the other side.

It was funny. The threads were hilarious. I had tons of those old threads screenshotted for memories.

It gave Reddit the personality it had. The flawed, annoying, absolutely toxic yet truly remarkable personality it possessed.

I would love for Lemmy to have one of its own but I truly miss the absolute random bullshittery that Reddit had. I see it happen sometimes on Lemmy. And the hope that I'll get that feeling again keeps me on here.

I never understood why anyone would upvote these comments, or why no sub (that I know of) banned them.

It's a pretty dismal strawman in the first panel. Hell, even in 2010 they were famous for being that site that just recycled memes from other sites. Comments were same shit different era, 'le', 'good sir', 'narwhal bacon'... well at least that last one was original even if lolrandumbxD.

But yeah, 'based' and 'this' are literally reused from other sites, especially 'this', which its entire purpose is to show agreement on sites that don't have voting like reddit does. People saying 'this' on reddit don't understand reddit

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Has anyone ever said that reddit comments are always creative?
