I say we just permanently play a game called "lemmy isn't reddit, but whatever it is, they're both the internet"?

And whenever someone brings up reddit in literally any capacity, we just say "lemmy isn't reddit, but whatever it is, they're both the internet," or some variation of it?

Ex.

Premise: "Stop doing that reddit thing! This is Lemmy not reddit!"

Response: "Lemmy isn't reddit, but whatever it is, they're both the internet"

Ex2.

Premise: "Let's do something like /r/place!"

Response: "Lemmy isn't reddit, but whatever it is, they're both the internet"

Ex3.

Premise: "this site is turning into reddit I wish it would be the way it was when there were 80% less users!"

Response: "Lemmy isn't reddit, but whatever it is, they're both the internet"

Why?

Because I'm sick of both sides of this shit, and this response is neutral as fuck, so it'll make a boring-ass milquetoast brief conversation that basic just echos "yeah mate I guess so huh interesting" and move on.

And no matter which side of that you're on, you probably agree. Talking about how x on Lemmy is or should be like x on reddit only furthers the annoying discussion that will literally never die if we don't murder it here and now.

"Lemmy isn't reddit, but whatever it is, they're both the internet"

Or something catchy idk

Saved that as a draft, ready for deployment at any moment

I don't think Ex2 works, but other than that I'm down for this

[-] verity_kindle@lemmy.world 28 points 9 months ago

I'll take my cake in tiramisu, thankyou

[-] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 19 points 9 months ago

I'm sorry, but you know the old saying: "You can't have your cake in tiramisu"

[-] verity_kindle@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

Arrgh, no Mega Cake Month For You! You get 2 tablespoons of warm cola and a stale snacky cake.

[-] just_ducky_in_NH@lemmy.world 26 points 9 months ago

Let’s look forward, not back.

[-] possum@lemmy.world 26 points 9 months ago

I rather stop mentioning that other site and giving it any more attention

I moved over to Lemmy on June 27th. My birthday. So that works for me.

[-] Arrakis@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago

I say we all celebrate this guy's birthday as our Lemmy tradition

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 5 points 9 months ago

Works for me. I've seen this guy around enough.

[-] Synthead@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

What's the name of your first pet?

Bean there done that

[-] kinther@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago

We need badges or flair.

"Rexodus survivor"

[-] Swim@lemmy.ca 9 points 9 months ago

Yes, we need armbands to show how unique we are comrade.

[-] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 10 points 9 months ago

Will there be a Lemmy Christmas Gift Swap?

[-] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Mega, you say? Shall we have it in the Lounge?

[-] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Can I get pie? Besides, Reddit does cake. Let's pick a different dessert.

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

What else do you eat on birthdays?

Candles, I guess.

[-] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

You eat what you want. Because it's your birthday. Birthday pie is amazing.

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

Hmm, there's an idea...

Birthday antacid tablets and vitamin gummies...

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

How about 'dessert day'

It's in the theme of decentralization, since everyone can have whatever they want. Don't like sweet things? Desserts don't even have to be sweet

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Yeah I always have a few anchovies for dessert

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

I know some cultures do fancy cheeses or breads, or something like yogurt

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Cheese, sourdough bread, and yoghurt are all cultured, yes.

I'll take a Crème brûlée

Where once was light

Now darkness falls

Where once was love

Love is no more

Don't say - goodbye

Don't say - I didn't try

These tears we cry

Are falling rain

For all the lies

You told us

The hurt, the blame!

And we will weep

To be so alone

We are lost!

We can never go home

So in the end

I will be what I will be

No loyal friend

Was ever there for me

Now we say - goodbye

We say - you didn't try

These tears you cry

Have come too late

Take back the lies

The hurt, the blame!

And you will weep

When you face the end alone

You are lost!

You can never go home

You are lost!

You can never go home
