I imagine there's excitement for the increase of activity but worries about the potential toxic side of Reddit coming along too.
I'd especially be interested in the Lemmy devs' opinions.
You're viewing a single thread.
I hope the reddit echo box 'our way or the highway', 'everything is a pun' mentality doesn't transfer over as well
When someone shares a personal story about his wife's struggle with cancer and the top reply is "I also choose this guy's dead wife"
Aww, but Reddit pun threads are fun.
Once you've seen the Anne Frankly one more than a few times, you'll have had enough
To each his own I guess. To me it's too much of the same regurgitated over and over again like a meme that stopped being funny years ago
They're fine when appropriate. It's nauseating how they're inserted everywhere.
Yeah, when a simple bots can post most of the replies. E.g.
if post.contains("r/theydidthemath") { post.reply("/r/theydidthemonstermath"); }then it's gone too far. There are some good, creative ones, like The Old Reddit Switch-a-roo, but they're too few and far between.
Agreed, I hope there is room for pun threads here too.
I imagine a non-zero number of walled off instances forming cause "they banned me for _____"
