One of those is not like the rest and doesn't truly deserve to be on the list – "username checks out". All the others provide absolutely no value, while "username checks out", at least, lets you notice a potential humorous situation which you might not have noticed otherwise.
The only time my username would have been relevant was under discussions of Glass Onion, as that was the name of the maguffin, but I took a loooong time to watch it and was avoiding any discussions about it because detective story.
I've been on the receiving end of "underrated comment" and I was surprised to learn it's not actually just vapor. You don't usually get comment karma on a post 24+ hours after it's posted, but on the couple of occasions when someone said this about my comment, it started the ball rolling on people reading and upvoting my comment. In other words, apparently it was underrated, because people weren't seeing it.
There's no karma totals on lemmy so who cares, but it was interesting to learn it isn't entirely fluff, it's performing a duty in the comment thread ecosystem.
I hear you, and I'm 100％ ready to, also, but its understandable for people to keep talking about reddit by comparison when lemmy is clearly essentially a reddit clone.
Yeah, there are people on reddit who still talk about Digg. I think this is just what happens. It'll slow down with time, as lemmy gains its own identity.
Sure.. .. and maybe this isn't worth thinking or talking about, but what does that really mean, Lemmy having its own identity, you know?
I began chatting with people on IRC (mIRC up in here, pIRCh losers get lost), and some html chat rooms, ICQ and IM (a/s/l?) then waaay later found myself on some less desireable forums and Digg for a while, and I remmeber when it went south, and remember seeing reddit. I stayed away until the pandemic when google searches started showing reddit thread results and I got sucked in.
What I mean to say, through all of those incarnations of talking to strangers on the internet, I never felt any of them had distinct personalities from any others, other than the slang that people used.
for reddit, it was "username checks out", " this", "TIL" etc etc. I left when every conversation felt the same. Anyway, I dont think I have a point, other than Lemmy is a fedirated reddit clone, and I'm not sure any online community has had an identifiable identity, except from some of the places that everyone just tries to say the shittiest thing they can think of
Not only bitter, lots of people here are dissing reddit like it's a recent ex.
Some of those frequently repeated comments (well not stuff like "this") are completely organic memes that have come out of that community, which most of us were part of, me personally for over a decade. Now we suddenly hate everything we were part of?
I'm kinda tired of the reddit bashing here. I'm not going to leave over it, but it doesn't add any value whereas some of the other content has been excellent.
(Srsly tho, this whole post is a reddit-hates-reddit circle jerk using stale memes from reddit to make fun of stale comments from reddit. It's beat and it stinks like letting someone who doesn't even know you control your emotions.)
I understand why it's not remembered positively, but this is what got me into Reddit. A bunch of dumbasses around the world sharing a sense of humour with other dumbasses on the other side.
It was funny. The threads were hilarious. I had tons of those old threads screenshotted for memories.
It gave Reddit the personality it had. The flawed, annoying, absolutely toxic yet truly remarkable personality it possessed.
I would love for Lemmy to have one of its own but I truly miss the absolute random bullshittery that Reddit had. I see it happen sometimes on Lemmy. And the hope that I'll get that feeling again keeps me on here.
It'd be real nice if someone created a browser addon that auto-downvoted these same comments and puns. With enough users you could wipe out anyone wanting to make the comments when they get 100 down votes just by people with the addon loading the comments section.
Yeah, automatic voting gets dangerously close to automatic censorship and botting.
Also, human language, context and nuance is complicated and the unknown error bar on "correctly flagged posts" scares me. It's not entirely predictable what kind of posts people may make, and accordingly not entirely predictable what the plugin would and wouldn't recognise.
A post chain "Madness?" / "THIS" / "IS" / "SPARTA!" may make sense and be fun in the right context, but the "THIS" comment could get botted to hell.
Along the same lines are the "Americans forget that other countries exist" comments.
Does American culture have a problem with ethnocentrism? Generally yes. Is reddit an American website where the vast majority of users, comments, posts, and topics are American? Also yes. When I'd see one of the "you're an arrogant asshole for assuming this post is about the US" comments, I just assumed it's someone being pedantic and contrarian for the sake of it. It just ruins what is sometimes a valid point.
I only partly agree. The part remembers all those situations where a comment on reddit almost made me spit out my coffee while at work because I found it truly hilarious
Crack = freebasing cocaine = base.
Bay Area rapper Lil B used to be insulted by people who called him "based", essentially meaning crackhead. He reappropriated it to mean outspokenly being yourself while actively disregarding what anybody else thinks, and started also going by Based God. That's it.
Which was originally used on the internet as a replacement/slang for "best" but apparently I am the only one who remembers that. Everyone seems to think it started as the cringelord PCM shit, but it absolutely meant "best" for years before that.
It definitely meant crackhead in hip-hop too, but it had a double meaning of "best" as well. Based God = best crackhead god.
EDIT: Don't know why this is being downvoted to hell, especially as this comment isn't tagged 'edited on', demonstrating I put this 'edit' in the comment immediately upon posting so UPDOOT ME WAAAAH.

Please tell me what "based" even means so I can misuse it amongst a bunch of 12 year olds and make them fucking stop.

Crack = freebasing cocaine = base.
Bay Area rapper Lil B used to be insulted by people who called him "based", essentially meaning crackhead. He reappropriated it to mean outspokenly being yourself while actively disregarding what anybody else thinks, and started also going by Based God. That's it.

I mean, other than ignoring that now people only use it ironically after the far right spammed it out talking about heinous garbage.
sarsaparilyptus@midwest.social · 0 pts · 2y
They also only used it ironically in the first place, because nobody takes Lil B seriously including Lil B.

Bruh, get real, they didn't know that shit because no one cares about Lil B either.

Which was originally used on the internet as a replacement/slang for "best" but apparently I am the only one who remembers that. Everyone seems to think it started as the cringelord PCM shit, but it absolutely meant "best" for years before that.
It definitely meant crackhead in hip-hop too, but it had a double meaning of "best" as well. Based God = best crackhead god.
sat012e@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 2y
I believe it's come from "based god", which referred to a god that appeared on earth.
Of course, it's been 10 years since I heard it used in that context, and assuming it hasn't evolved since then may be wrong...
