Everyone there just recycles the same old shit.

I remember when doing that was pretty fresh and funny.

I wonder how many sad Gen X ers are stuck on there because they are emotionally attached to their Karma score.

I saw a post about a community created here called "pixel passport" which I thought was a hell of a lot better that "earth porn."

Damn, I had forgotten how obnoxious that was on Reddit. Blocked all of those years ago because it was just unnecessary and a gross way to qualify otherwise unremarkable photos.

Nothing like someone peaking over your shoulder and seeing you're browsing r/AnimalPorn....

I totally agree with you. Hopefully lemmy can be a little more mature with community names. (Yeah, yeah.. I know the hypocrisy of my username.. It's my gamertag)

I agree. I think it's terrible name, and ti just invites unnecessary drama.

Oh man, this is something I definitely hope to never see again. I'm so tired of the unbelievable TIFUs, AITAs, and/or OffMyChests with thousands of upvotes that had obviously-fake stories.

The worst one (in recent history) was that TIFU with the student who slept with their professor's daughter.

I hope this kind of bullshit never happens here.

Or pics being grounds for sob stories and creative writing prompts to get more upvotes on theur shitty pictures. That's why I unsubbed from r/pics and subbed to /r/nocontextpics. Cool photos, no sob stories.

You forgot to add the "Edit: " part because they always have to come back and edit every 2 minutes.

Edit: "Whoa my first gold! Thanks!"

Edit2: "Wow this is silly, thanks everyone!"

Edit3: "While you're here, let me tell you my life story."

Take my updoot

Uhhhg. Reddit award acceptance speeches like anyone cares.

It's most noticeable when the topic being discussed is your area of expertise. Then you clearly see what kind of grossly oversimplified or even blatantly false comments get made with so much confidence and upvoted.

I tried to keep this in mind while reading stuff that I'm not an expert in, but that's hard.

A lot of people would just upvote the first bozo to reply with a confident answer and never bother to check for the full story. Scrolling 3 comments down you’d find someone who actually knows their stuff. I learned to at least read most of the comments before committing any Reddit info to memory as fact.

Unfortunately this might not be something from Reddit. It could be universal to all human communities. People want to feel that they are in the right but not be questioned, when countering opposing arguments is the way to truth.

(I'm so sorry. I couldn't resist)

Hey people grieve at different speeds. Some people got to acceptance on the same day, others are still in denial.
