Reddit morals vs Lemmy morals in the greentext community (lemmy.world)

I recently came across a Reddit post with a greentext also posted here a few weeks before (by me). While the one here got downvoted, the one on Reddit got over two thousand upvotes. Don’t take me wrong however, this has led me to realize how much morals differ between the two platforms; it seems to me like Lemmings have overall better morals in general. I’ve come to appreciate this. Evidence like this shows how much better Lemmy is as a community (excluding lemmygrad) when compared to Reddit. Instead of becoming what you swore to destroy, you became better a better version. I thought you all would find this interesting.

OP you made the classic mistake of thinking that lots of upvotes means that lots of people agree with the thing stated in post.

It was upvoted there because it contains the nword. It was downvoted here for the same reason. /s

But seriously people upvote and downvote for lots of stupid reasons. Often posts just need an inital wave of up/down votes and anyone that comes after will just go with the preexisting judgement out of herd mentality.

I have upvoted you because I like your username.

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Thanks, i used my passwordmanager to generate a random 2 word passphrase and kept reshuffling until i found a cool sounding combination. All of my usernames are random ones like that :D

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 year ago

And I upvoted you because you upvoted their username.

[-] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

i have upvoted you because I like the colour blue

I've changed apps since then but Jerboa allowed you to hide the vote count so you couldn't see what everyone else voted for. It was interesting turning it on and off to see how I voted compared to the herd

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 1 year ago

Would be interesting to have it behave like polls where it shows the results after you voted.

[-] SomeAmateur@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

I agree! I made a post on Boost's community because that's what I use currently

[-] HKayn@dormi.zone 8 points 1 year ago

It was actually downvoted because the screenshot isn't mobile-friendly. /s

[-] remon@ani.social 92 points 1 year ago

Morals, lol. Half of lemmy is tankies that unironically think the guys was great. That's one for reddit.

[-] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 21 points 1 year ago

I'm seriously anything but a Mao simp. But afaik, the famine in China wasn't done on purpose, while the Germans industrialized murder.

[-] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago

Really, the famines were due to the great leap forward killing off everyone who knew how to prevent a famine. Though iirc it's argued that in a few regions the famines were intentional genocide.

[-] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 1 year ago

Seriously, I assumed it was downvoted because the hexbear and lemmygrad chuds got butthurt.

[-] RunawayFixer@lemmy.world 61 points 1 year ago

What I find annoying about these memes is that it's always about how Germany killed 6 million Jews during ww2, while they actually killed 17 million ordinary people in ethnically motivated mass killings. That's 11 miillions victims of ethnic cleansing that seem to be forgotten.

[-] SatyrSack@feddit.org 36 points 1 year ago

Before reading the OOP itself, I thought this post was comparing cropping/orientation etiquette.

[-] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago

[-] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Seriously, they can't possibly not understand there may be more at work than talking about historical figures.

[-] chronotron@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago

no, it's because people think mao was right here

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

Did that post call Hitler the n word? That probably has more to do with the downvotes here

[-] SatyrSack@feddit.org 25 points 1 year ago

I just checked the OOP on Reddit, and it is indeed censored there (not just censored by OP here). Lemmy version does not seem to be similarly censored. You may be onto something.

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Lemmy.world does censor it.

[-] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

they mean the image in the post, not like typing it in the comments.
the OP of the reddit one censored it but the OP of the Lemmy one didn't

EDIT: I was wrong... I think, I'm not really sure anymore lol

[-] Early_To_Risa@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 year ago

I remember removing that post after someone reported it, but it wasn't a judgement of you, OP.

Most of us get that Anon uses bad language and that reading it isn't the same as agreeing with it, but I thought seeing an uncensored N word was going to be over the line for this group.

[-] radix@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Reddit content is posted by bots and/or upvoted by related bot farms. No human general morality is involved in what gets popular.

[-] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

I went back to Reddit the other day because there was a thread discussing the exact problem I was trying to solve. Like 3/8 of the comments were ChatGPT outputs that were added to the thread years after it was posted

[-] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 8 points 1 year ago

The Lemmy post got deleted, though.

[-] Windex007@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I don't know anything about China, and I don't use votes as "I agree" so I have no idea what this is about

[-] h3mlocke@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

We sure do live in a society.

[-] anothercatgirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago

The Lemmy post is much harder to read on a phone because of the long lines of text.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
