This is /v/, which means this post is behind over 9000 layers of sarcasm.

[-] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 37 points 9 hours ago

All of which this platform will be oblivious to, because Lemmy just doesn't do satire.

[-] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 23 points 8 hours ago

Lemmy hates the shit out of satire lol

Oh thank god its not just me.

And 4 years on, I still can’t figure out whether it’s because of neurospiciness or divergent interests. Linux? 471 communities. Writing? 2 and the mods of the second one abandoned their accounts years ago

Maybe it's because even within the fediverse, there are too many people who agree to satirized positions unironically. i.e. Lemmy is just a little too diverse for most satire.

In certain ways, maybe. I can’t see eye to eye with some people on what constitutes a genocide, for instance. But there comes a point where it’s apparently either satire or a an objectively crazy user. It’s equally apparent who this split Is apparent to, on this open source communist Linux forum.

It’s my personal belief that lemmy at large is simply too experientially limited to recognize online satire outside of incredibly specific examples. Mostly meme templates. And there’s nothing wrong with that, but it is a little frustrating for me, personally.

Pretty sure it's the tism.

[-] _g_be@lemmy.world 12 points 8 hours ago

Damn autists, taking everything literally

[-] mutilated_sphincter@lemmy.world 27 points 8 hours ago

No, you must be thinking of kleptomaniacs

[-] Ganbat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 7 hours ago

No, no, that's "literally taking everything," but now we're getting into the realm of dyslexics

[-] FreshLight@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 hours ago

Lemmy is still a relatively young community. I bet it gets better with time. I like to think that I already noticed small (and healthy) community growths.

And I do not have a metric nor an example. This is super vague, I know.

[-] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 hours ago

I'm pretty sure it's because most of the people here are on the spectrum.

A lot of users came here to boycott reddit. Taking this kind of action is quite hard when it comes to dopamine sources like reddit. The users that migrated have at least in common that they overcame the reddit pull and also took the time and energy to land in a lemmy instance. I'm curious what Lemmy will look like in 5 to 10 years with this kind of "user starter" on the "lemmy agar".

[-] polotype@lemmy.ml 10 points 7 hours ago

I took it as satire too, but what tells it's /v/ ?

[-] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 hour ago

The blue colorscheme indicates it's from one of the non-18+ boards, and /v/ is the one of those that it would fit the most.

Technically you can set any board to any of a bunch of color schemes, but most users just leave the defaults or pick on dark theme for all of them.
