A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

MODERATORS
Just like real conversations, it's about the people you're having them with, not where you're having them at.
but also just like real conversations about creating connections with the people you're having them with, not repeating something you heard someone else say because you want to be popular and you're desperately trying to get people to talk you.
If you really think it doesn't matter, go participate in the reddit thread where the conversation was more organic instead of trying to recreate it somewhere else for self-benefit.
Posting to an open public forum is very diffent than a 1 on 1 conversation. Either way, I've often heard and told stories that have come from others. Can you really say you've never said "hey I saw/read x" and talk about it? Every interaction doesn't need to be 100% original in all aspects to be engaging.
On the topic of reddit vs hear. Again I'd say organic doesn't mean good or bad. And using content from somewhere else to start a conversation isn't whole cloth good or bad either.
I don't think the situation is as black and white as you're portraying it.
I hear you, but still I find it annoying. I stopped using reddit because I don't like reddit, so I don't need reddit brought to here. I see more more of my sentiment on Lemmy than what you're saying, so it seems in general, people on Lemmy don't want to knowingly interact with recycled reddit content. I would also argue organic or not does matter or we should all be cool with the political astro-turfing and corporate shilling that goes on everywhere.
