This comment deserves gold.
Of course!
It’s probably a whole set of bots and the responses to “this needs to be a coffee mug” are some other account saying “I found one!” and that’s the whole point of the comment chain. Someone has a crappy mug to sell and constructs scenarios that seem natural ish to introduce it.
There used to be a big issue on Tumblr years ago with bots trolling for comments like that and then stealing whatever picture that comment was on to sell crappy t-shirts of it or whatever. People started fighting back by posting those comments specifically on Disney stuff.
Well, you know what they say. Play bitch games, win bitch prizes.
My man!

Thank you for this comment!
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.
I’m part of the problem. 85.4% of my comments are shit posts only I think are funny.
Hey, don’t be like that. I am sure a lot of people find your shitposts funny.
Not me. I looked.
lol @ the exact percent
But no, I don’t think shitposts by themselves are actually the problem. I think the problem is when when there’s so many people dedicated to making shitposts that serious communities with serious discussions start getting overwhelmed with shitposts, and when there’s so many people who are only interested in shitposts that they upvote those shitposts to the top, often downvoting anyone who might offer a contrarian non-funny opinion.
or IDK, I’m mostly speculating based on personal experience.
It’s not just you. There are dozens of us.
At least there are dedicated spaces for that and most Lemmings are respecting that, if it doesn’t spill out too much to more serious communities then at least there isn’t too much noise to have a good discussion.
Good for you … the road to recovering from being a bot is to first admit it
This should be a mug!

I do hope that lemmy continues to grow into non-tech demographics. I’m somewhat into tech myself, but I also like a lot of other stuff and I miss that influence from reddit. Lemmy is VERY tech focused right now and we need some other voices in here.
This. So. Much. This.
Also the process of “enshitification” has already started taking place on reddit due to its popularity.
I started using reddit in 2011. Trust me when I say this isn’t a new trend. Reddit’s has been noticeably and actively getting shittier since at least 2015 as it continued to get more and more popular
Reddits is end stage enshitification
There’s also a big issue of the sheer mass of comments in a post simply drowning out any chance of discussion because only the first few most upvoted ones will usually get seen, so people generally just respond to those to get any interaction on their comments. It’s why the frontpage stuff is always so much worse than smaller subs - because by the time people see it, there’s already 1,000+ comments there.
Most of the people that would have made good comments on Reddit moved to Lemmy as well
These have to be bots.
I think this is a huge problem with democracy as well. The larger a country, the worse democracy works. Any apparatus of power or wealth attracts parasites only interested in exploiting it. And the larger the lever, the more profit from manipulating it. And the larger the potential gain the more investment costs can you justify.
This isn’t necessarily an argument for “states rights” or federation though, with “divide and conquer” strategies you can copy and paste the same strategy to multiple instances. If there is monetary gain to be had, there will always be an unrelenting force trying to exploit it.
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.
This needs a coffee mug.
Not to mention that amitheasshole is the biggest collection of validation seeking goobers on reddit. We really aren’t better than redditors, we are the same people, we just have principles that led us to seek the same experience uncompromised elsewhere.
Fuck yess I love it
This just became my new favorite saying.
IDK if Lemmy is sophisticated sophisticated, but I have yet to see a comment chain that is just top 40s song lyrics.
We’re no strangers to love…
No.
Hold my butthole, I’m going in!
Hold it like with pinched fingers or a cupped hand? I don’t want to fuck this up again.
… do I (Do I)
We just don’t have the population for it
This is the real difference. Just above this comment there’s a couple of people trying the same thing, we just can’t keep it up.
I think OP just misses the fun they had over there but can’t go back on principle.
What song is this from?
I absolutely have seen that here. I’ll have to see if I can track down the chain, of course i wasn’t offended by it either.
Pedantic and shallow
It looks like Markov Chains to me
Yeah my guess is that these are accounts currently being farmed. I actually bought a reddit account once and its history was full of this kind of stuff
Why did you buy a reddit account?
nunna yer beezwax
Fair enough. lol
Hell yeah!
This place thinks it’s so damn intelligent and above everyone else. Bunch of fuckin’ Brian Griffins here.
found the contrarian in the comments who thinks he’s NOT Brian griffin lol

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”
This
Haha! Yes! So true! This! This right here! 😂😂😂
Fully believe a lot of these are bots. I refuse to believe that humans act like this at that magnitude
We’re no better here. Lemmy has its own brand of cringe.
It’s not about cringe imo, more the point is that the comments don’t look real at all - it’s all bots
Switch to linux
Btw I use Arch
I’m using this in my daily life now.
Worse here imo, not sure why I stick around
And so the cycle continues.

You either die based, or you live long enough to become cringé. The later is so much more fun.

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.
You might wanna consider Nobara tho. It’s a Fedora spin but with all the codecs preinstalled.
and please you have to stop using xorg. Xorg is terrible and makes puppies cry, stahp w/ it
I’ll consider it when it works on all the hardware Windows does.
It pretty much does. It cannot, however, run all the software that can run in Windows, which is the bigger issue.
Have you heard of our lord and saviour Linus? You have to let Linux into your heart my child.
Linus Sebastian rules
Did he ever release his own findings on how bad his company harassed that girl?
I don’t think he rules or its even a nice human being
They hired a 3rd party investigator for that. Nothing has been release and most likely won’t be.
Lol, pity he dislikes Linux.
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux,” and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
New copypasta just dropped
Unix, the father, Linux the son and GNU the holy ghost.

Give it some time, Lemmy will get there eventually.
These cannot be the comments of real people.
It’s so obvious it’s like 50% bots now 😭. A couple smaller niche subs are still good, i like the DnD 4e sub and Meet Your Maker subs for example, but it’s not worth going through Reddit to get there. Wish we could switch all those communities over here but it’s hard.
