  This.

  Edit: Thank you for the gold kind stranger!

  Kidding aside, it’s nice to show up to a thread and be able to join in rather than shouting into the void of thousands of other users.

  Same. I don’t miss that, or much, but I think we can all agree on missing the genius of Shittymorph. He truly had a way of gripping you into a comment and then suddenly it’s nineteen ninety-eight again, and you finally look at the username. Truly entertained every time, was sad but understandable to see him retire.

    His timing is incredible, I don’t know how he does it. He stays away just long enough for the paranoia of getting pranked lulls, and then he hits you with the lols hammer. He got me a couple of days ago while I was lurking in one of the subs.

      Oh shit, he’s actually around again? Last I heard he had “hung up the hat” so to speak. Perhaps that itself was a ruse!

        He is! It was three to four days ago max. He is definitely a loved character as the whole thread lit up once they realized they got got…

    I’d forgotten about that guy! Loved him and can honestly say he’s one genuine thing about that place that I miss.

  To a certain degree, yes…but I feel like Lemmy has a lot more posts with comments chiming in only to sound smart or contrary. It’s super annoying, and I can’t tell if it’s better or worse than the constant in-jokes from reddit.

    I feel like much of Reddit has the same problem to varying degrees depending on the sub (saw it all the time on r/Android and r/Apple, but didn’t see it at all on smaller/chiller subs like r/Tamagotchi). I don’t like seeing it on Lemmy either though, it’s not something the community or platform should positively reinforce

  I fell into the habit of just hiding the top comment on every thread because it was usually useless. They either didn’t read the article or would be making a bad joke.

  atm what makes me barf is the amount of spam. there’s tooo much of it on larger subs. i’m not clicking on your link gtfo.

    To be spiteful I was thinking of selling my account to spammers to poison the well back there. I haven’t yet, but I’m still considering it.
