I'm sure there is a Mastodon joke in there somewhere.

Ive never heard anyone say that... I didn't realize so many here are actually delusional...
I take my delusions with a side of grandeur like a responsible adult. Not healthy to have that as the main course.
God I wish I could that. Unfortunately I lack both the length and the dexterity.
And Lemmy users in this thread

ONE ELEPHANT HAS HIS TRUNK UP ANOTHER ELEPHANT'S ASS. OSTENSIBLY TO EAT HIS SHIT. THE OTHER ELEPHANT REALLY SEEMS TO BE ENJOYING IT.
The difference between Reddit and Lemmy is that you can post this without getting shadowed banned
Just normal banned.
I'd totally do that if I could. Even swallow it if it didn't taste so bad.
I could in high school. Tasted like bleach IIRC. Worst gym class ever.
Eat better bro, diet heavily influences the taste. Or just chug pineapple juice everyday.
Too much details....
Man, y'all are wrong. People on both platforms be stupid as hell. Myself included.
What was I talkin' about?
I don’t feel smug because I left Reddit. I feel sad that it turned into a vapid, sterile mockery of itself and I stopped having fun there. I like fun places. And I lost one.
same. only a matter of time till it happens here too
The differences is that you have the power to make a new community or Lemmy site with blackjack and hookers. (Piefed is kind of like that for people unhappy with the Lemmy software or developers.)
Kind of. I don't think the Internet will ever return to the heyday of Reddit.
Once governments and groups recognized that social media actually does move public opinion, that was the end of good, anonymous social media.
The ways to bring some of that back aren't great. A community where everyone's verified is much better, but it'll be quite different from the Reddit days where you'd have (usually real) ridiculous subject matter experts chiming in on random threads.
You don't get that with a small, verified population. And when you don't have verification, well forever now have effectively psyops intending to influence you.

You think if I could do that I'd be here?
You'd be showing off here, so yes
Auto-Fellatio Elephant on my home feed. What a day!
Depends on what we mean by smart. Lemmy seems to especially attract the IT crowd, which in itself represents a huge swathe of specialty knowledge... which I can't claim to be part of, but hey, medic checking in! But with reddit's variety of topics to include... I mean, pretty much everything, since that website is massive: I don't think they have any kind of knowledge deficit in a general sense.
Where Lemmy really shines is in stamping out the bigotry, not just in policy but from a direct community response: drop a post with some racism or sexism or w/e and you'll be swarmed by posts telling you to fuck off and don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. And I love it! :D
So, smarter? Fuck if I know. Significantly less evil? Fuck yeah!
I'm new here but this reminds me a lot of what reddit was like around 2008. I and lots of people came from slashdot, to be able to talk about things other than computers. So everyone is a nerd that cares about data and wants to have a genuine conversation, and I think that makes my experience more intelligent because it becomes less about winning by drowning interesting topics with the same rehashed jokes or tropes, and more about formulating your own thoughts as best you can.

Life's hard enough as it is, one has to practice self love.
I mean…yes. This is one of the things I imagine I would try if I ever had the equipment.
You don't have both a nose and dangle long enough? Please answer us that you do not regardless of your bait and tackle situation, I'm not feeling like getting jealous

If I could do that I wouldnt be wasting my time here.
The irony is that reddit users would say the same about other people on other platforms.

Literally anybody who is part of any group ever:
I’m smarter than this post!
First thing this image makes me think of are Linux users
That's what OP said, Lemmy users.
I do feel like I have more authentic interactions on here. It's hard not to see how much more heavily a huge platform like reddit is botted and astroturfed, and controlled by a handful of owners, mods and powerusers, compared to the nascent fediverse. Not that we don't have those things here too, I think Lemmy just hasn't had a high enough profile, yet, to warrant much attention from the same bad actors who run vast portions of reddit, X, and facebook. Here's hoping it stays that way for a little while longer.

Tbf, a lemmy user is far less likely to be a bot, so... yes?
Mini rant: that’s the #1 thing I was getting sick of before exiting Reddit. It was at the point where the larger subs, think memes or technology, were all reposts of high performing posts that bots were posting. Then they’d use other bot accounts to steal the highest performing comments from under the same picture/article.
The amount of times I’d see the same post 10 times, with the same top comments all from different accounts that all cross posted between each other because they were a part of the same network was crazy. The bot population was insane at the time I left.
I’m not even talking about regular reposts which I actually do like. (I think there’s an XKCD about post exposure?) I’m talking about coordinated karma farms that would spam the hell out of the place.
