I put “Reddit employee” in quotation marks because they’re giving the vibe that they’re praising that website so much.
As usual reddit is a day late and a dollar short.
Lmao I know right?
It’s really dependent on your instance as well. Lemmy is not homogenous.
Hehe, homogenous. Sorry for late reply.
I do imagine the comments listed on a YouTube video about gardening have to be different than those in a video about the Philadelphia Eagles. But that’s just because it’s the city of brotherly love, and those gardeners are fucking vicious.
I have a Venn diagram overlap for you
Gotta love when your coach tells the team you are a flower that hasn’t bloomed yet.
You’re like this flower here, you’ll bloom someday and smell much better than you do in this locker room I hope.
He was raked over the coals for these comments at the time, but since then the Eagles have been to two Super Bowls. Considering the dog walking they gave to a dynasty this past SB, I think it’s safe to say they’ve bloomed!
Meanwhile in a post far far away…
Oh no I’m reading the news too much because I read that as Pedophilia Eagles. Ya’know, the fightin’ Epsteins. Yes, very different comments indeed.
Welcome to the online world, kid.
Also, I’m pretty sure lemme skews much older than 12. It’s 40+ year olds calling you names.
The only real problem with lemme is that it’s not big enough to replace most niche communities on larger platforms. If I have a specific question about a hobby, video game, or whatever, I’m not using lemme. I hope to someday.
I’m permanently banned from Reddit because I somewhat pointed out a flaw in about Stardew Valley gameplay wise :( sorry for the late reply.
It’s 40+ year olds calling you names.
That always makes it a bit worse. When I see ignorant comments on other sites, I usually tell myself it might be made by an edgy teenager. Can’t do that on Lemmy. That’s a grown adult praising North Korea…
I mean, North Korea itself is literally run by grown adults.
That’s a grown adult praising North Korea…
And I’m an even growner adult calling that one names!
Seriously though, you can never be 100% sure. And I’m trying not to be agist - even to myself.
maybe this is why I have lost all faith in humanity recently…
Tankies stop mental development around age 12. So it’s hard to say how old they physically are.
What specific hobbies do you hope to peruse here?
I miss the machinist subreddit quite a bit. There are some communities here, but they’re not very active. I’d post, but I don’t do enough machining right now to really generate much content.
What’s the bet they’re actually just stepping out of an echo chamber for the first time and can’t hack being told their opinions are shit
I mean, depending on which instance they joined they could’ve just as easily stepped into an even smaller echo chamber. Lemmy as a concept isn’t magically free from them.
I’d pish if they leapt from reddit to hexbear
You can’t even post a youtube link on there without a socialist bot scolding you for not instead using some janky commie tube alternative.
Lemmy has a ton of echo chambers. It’s a real problem.
Yeah, but the problem isn’t inherent to a platform. It’s inherent to humanity.
Yes, but also no. I could have an account on hexbear and still see things from lots of other places. The beauty of federation is that it’s a lot harder to quash dissent from an administrative level.
Maybe only read Local and was a bad fit for the server. You know, any sane server.
Sounds like maybe they chose Hexbear as their instance. I haven’t seen nearly that much toxicity on Lemmy, except from hexbear users (before defederation).
I don’t know what hex is, but at this point I don’t wanna know 😅 apologies for the late reply
It’s been the absolute opposite for me
Same here. Probably that poster is lying and has an agenda. Wouldn’t surprise me if Reddit was running anti-Lemmy bots.
Same here to be honest, from what I’m experiencing now since I’ve joined is nothing but a mix of helpful and funny responses, mostly helpful and have yet to see mean response.
you smell like cabbage farts.
Well that was mean
Good to see you here!
<3 Good to be here
That’s not my experience. Did they go to a right-wing or ML instance?
That makes sense actually, this is a reddit employee, after all.
Lots of name calling
12 year old keyboard warriors
Somebody misplaced their mirror
Aren’t you making the poster’s point for him? You just made a whole new post to call him a “Reddit Employee” because you didn’t believe he had the experience he wrote he had.
Every social network thinks it’s the best and considers everything else to be trash.
There’s really no perfect (insert perfect cell meme here) social media lol. Sorry for the late reply
“are there no mods”
LMAO
OP made a follow up post:
Almost a week here in lemmy and I still don’t know how instances work?
But they haven’t commented here or there even once.
Hello mate, how are you? 👋🏽
They are commenting in this thread. Either way, what’s your point?
I agree with this 100%. The quality of posts here is abysmal.
Comments, too 😉
I actually meant to say comments and community, not posts. However the post quality is also bad, yea.
Isn’t that everywhere? Not just here in Lemmy
Sorry for the late reply.
Lemmy is especially toxic from what I’ve noticed.
Can you give me an example? I haven’t really encountered any toxicity here yet, probably been called out once but it wasn’t that bad.
You know, you could try and change that by posting things yourself. Be the change you want to see.
(Why is it always the ones that don’t post complaining about the quality of posts?)
Stop making abysmal posts then?
I’d say that’s not true. Sure a lot of crap here is reposted lazy grabs from elsewhere, but there is plenty of quality OC. In general, I also find Lemmy to be way less toxic and censorship heavy.
Ok, I’m gonna be real with you for a moment. You guys are some of the most wholesome, respectful and emotionally intelligent people I have ever seen online.
Yes, every now and then someone writes something edgy. I am not calling anyone in particular out. I am guilty of this too (as you are about to see in a moment).
But calling users here “12 yr old keyboard warriors” while being on Reddit is probably the dumbest take I have ever witnessed. Which says a lot if you consider we are talking about the website that came up with the CumBox.
In the 5-ish years I was on Reddit I got death threats on a regular basis. I got tagged for the suicide bot multiple times a year. I had some very normal Reddit user send me rape threats followed by animal porn.
And Reddit did nothing.
Meanwhile our admins actually do shit that makes this site better instead of just sucking each other off, crying it’s not the real greedy pig boy they’re orally pleasing.
What I am trying to say is: This is obviously rage bait and I fell for it. Which is soooooooo Reddit and it triggers me that it did so all across the internet.
Well, since it’s grown ass adults make insults and threats.
Can I have some of those infamous rape threats? 👉 👈
No animal porn please.
That suicide bot still being active when it became primarily a tool for harassment is so so stupid.
It’s all the modern convenience we’ve come to love with the social environment of 15 years ago when using the internet felt fun
From what I’ve seen so far during my short time in Lemmy, there doesn’t seem to be any fuss about mods (or lack thereof) being power hungry and that’s good. And the people I’ve interacted with so far seemed to be helpful most of the time, whether I’ve got a gardening related question. You can’t escape hostility anywhere so you just gotta have to eat those sometimes but we move on. I’ve also gotten the “Reddit cares” bot message because I seemed to have commented something about Stardew valley which wasn’t even that bad, but I don’t remember what I said but I know what I said wasn’t bad to incur such a bot sent my way lol. Glad you (and I) found this place and hope to use this for years to come and hopefully no Lemmy gatekeepers tells us we can’t be here 👋🏽

Fuck you, get fucked you fucking piece of shit!
Just kidding. I love you folks. Cheers.
Framing them as an employee is bad faith. And misleading.
