I mod a couple of communities I missed from Reddit. I’ve been stealing content from there to get the communities going (using the dystopia app so no ads and I don’t interact with Reddit at all). It’s honestly a bit jarring to read the nastiness/aggression in the comments after 5 weeks on lemmy. It’s so much nicer here, I hope we don’t lose that vibe completely as lemmy grows.

“Everything happens for a reason”

• technically correct, completely unhelpful.

“God doesn’t give you more than you can handle”

• Fuck. Off.

I can only assume that people don’t understand why it was brought in on YouTube and TikTok in the first place because so many people do it when it isn’t remotely necessary. If you make your living posting on social media, then fair enough, I understand you need to fall inline with the rules of the platform. But why the hell would you self censor posts you don’t make money from? Utterly ridiculous.

Needlessly censoring words like sex. It wasn’t necessary on Reddit and it certainly isn’t necessary now.

Is this first (sorta) rickroll in the fediverse?!

The Memmy app has been having an issue where every single comment you write has 2 upvotes as standard, not the usual 1. Not gonna lie, I thought I was mildly funny/interesting until Memmy acknowledged the error in one of their updates. 🥲

Edit: they just fixed the issue but this comment has a real upvote and I can now go to sleep feeling socially validated!

A bunch of subs have been asking their users the same thing - some don’t have the scores hidden and “return to normal” was losing in all of them when I voted!
