MODERATORS
Before this is of value we need to get another 100 million users and exist for 20 years
Why does it have to be just like your sister?
Because we will never reach a billion users and exist for 200 years like yo momma.
That's that og Reddit spirit I crave
No thanks. This adds absolutely no value to the conversation. I get the humor, but why would one want to turn Lemmy into reddit instead of going to reddit to sooth the "cravings" ?
Eh.. It has its place (especially if dude is going to set me up like that), and can be ignored if it's not your cup of tea.
Prurient banter has been a part of online forums since BBS message boards. It's how most people I know communicate IRL and online: Bullshit, bullshit, nugget of wisdom, picture of cat.
Not everything needs to be THUPER THERIAL, but it can be (and has frequently been) overdone because a lot of people don't realize that self-censorship is a hammer to be swung heavily.
Lmao well said
Gosh
