Love. This. Comment.

This have to be bot.

Edit: thanks for the gold, stranger!

Edit2: ohh god i hate you guys.

That was cringe but I think a better reason NOT to return to reddit is the fact that they just sold out their users to an AI company that hasn't even been named.

I think the fewer number of people, compared to reddit, on Lemmy combined with the fact that it's not nearly as well known, plays a huge advantage to the quality of the comments. Not that there aren't people like that here either, but I feel like the more popular a platform, is, the more it gets filled, proportionally, with people trying to make witty, shitty, pointless remarks that are often clickkbaity and avoid actual discussion, all in the interest of just getting more imaginary points.

Also the process of "enshitification" (not a term I made up, look it up if you hadn't heard of it) has already started taking place on reddit due to its popularity.

All I see is cherry picking random dumb comment thread and trying to spin it as if it defines the whole use base / experience and thinking Lemmy is used by the most sophisticated intellectuals.

Only the best, the finest human-generated datasets. For the discerning AI trainer.

It’s actually kind of crazy how like… stupid Reddit got over the past 2 years.

Like don’t get me wrong Lemmy isn’t exactly an intellectual powerhouse either, but especially on the front page of Reddit it truly feels like you’ve gathered a few thousand of the dumbest people ever and made them high five. Browsing the science and dataisbeautiful subs is insane

Surprised the top reply wasn't "this"

Fully believe a lot of these are bots. I refuse to believe that humans act like this at that magnitude

I bet they are all bots

We're no better here. Lemmy has its own brand of cringe.

Love. This. Post.

I have gone back a while ago. Some subs are bad but most I frequent are the same as before. I now use lemmy on my phone and reddit on the PC. At least on reddit the Linux cult doesnt try to convert you everytime you say the word windows.

Play Reddit games, win Reddit prizes.

Give it some time, Lemmy will get there eventually.

Not much worse than people constantly evangelizing Linux, whining about cars, and all the other Lemmyisms that have seeped between instances.

These cannot be the comments of real people.

Wow you just won the internet for today. 🤓

Edit: Wow this post blew up, thanks for all the upvotes!

What I find weird, is why people would comment that kind of worthless stuff when they could just give an upvote. It doesn't add anything to the discussion. It is just worthless fluff.

Oh God

Were we that cringy?

Hell yeah! This just became my favorite saying.

I just assume everybody is 12 years old. It's the only way to explain most of the behaviors I see.

I could probably find something similar on Lemmy. The fixation on Reddit is annoying when people could just use Lemmy and forget about Reddit.
