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.

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.

[-] chronotron@lemmy.world 21 points 5 hours ago

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

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.

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 15 points 7 hours ago

I have upvoted you because I like your username.

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 8 points 7 hours ago

And I upvoted you because you upvoted their username.

[-] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 5 points 4 hours ago

Upvoted because i enjoy sugar in my tea

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 15 points 7 hours ago

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

[-] SomeAmateur@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 hours ago

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

[-] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 15 points 7 hours ago

[-] abbadon420@lemm.ee 3 points 6 hours ago

No

[-] remon@ani.social 65 points 9 hours ago

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

[-] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 5 hours ago

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

[-] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 13 points 8 hours 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 15 points 7 hours 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.

There is no proof!!! These dead kulaks don't count!!!!

[-] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 4 points 6 hours ago

Just like in the USSR 🤡

[-] SatyrSack@feddit.org 29 points 9 hours ago

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

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 17 points 8 hours ago

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

[-] SatyrSack@feddit.org 16 points 8 hours 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.

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 2 points 7 hours ago

Do people really care if it is censored or not?

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Lemmy.world does censor it.

[-] radix@lemmy.world 10 points 8 hours ago

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

[-] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 6 points 8 hours ago

The Lemmy post got deleted, though.

[-] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 4 points 8 hours ago

Let me guess tankies didn't like that ditaste a modal Lemmy has for genocide daddies...

The horror!

Looks like it was removed because screen had n word lol

This censorship is idiotic

[-] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 3 points 8 hours ago

No need to make up a reason. The modlog clearly states one, and it's the latter. I mean, feel free to host your own instance or community if you don't like the atmosphere.

[-] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 1 points 7 hours ago

That's the beauty of fedi... I can have my opinion and you can mod as you please

[-] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 2 points 6 hours ago

Agreed.

[-] anothercatgirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 7 hours ago

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

[-] Windex007@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours 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
