Best Lemmy comment so far
How do I give Lemmy gold?
Sadly, you can’t. He’s already dead.
I always thought that was a sign it was astroturfed. Like my post? Give Reddit money!
I had my entire Oscars Acceptance Speech all ready to go in 2018 for nothing. Stupid Frances McDormand.
I strive to live my life in Jesus, and your mom.
For a second, I seriously thought the fediverse logo next your username was an award 😂
Haha this!!

There is a decent argument historically that communism and other left movements are extremist, racist, and anti-lgbtq. When you start banning concepts, you open your communities up to several things.
- Group think
- Banning of other radical ideologies that you may agree with
- You alienate those people from exposure to better concepts
- You jump start compaction cycles for large scale propaganda organizations that could lead to actual violence
I said “bigots” and you immediately jumped to “whatabout communists?!”
This may be an unpopular option since I’ve already seen it across lemmy, but the ____porn communities. I’d like to browse pictures of nice landscapes or exotic cars without worry about someone around me noticing “PORN” on my screen.
At this point it seems very old internet, something that made sense when those communities were established, but now is unnecessary gratuitous and not socially acceptable.
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.”
I really like that name. Way better than Earthporn. Thank you for sharing, I subscribed!
Link: !pixelpassport@lemm.ee
Indeed. I like ‘Earthporn’ too, but I think it should be all nature pictures that look like genitalia and suchlike. Rocks or trees that look like penises for example.
EarthPixels. CarPixels. PornPixels. HistoryPixels. This could work.
Those are great names! I would subscribe to more communities with names like that.
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.
Funny enough, the first time I heard someone use ___porn IRL (outside of all the 90s surf/skate/ski videos i Grew up with which were always called a porn)
was a chef I used to work for, back in 2001-2, l woman in her 50s at the time. Who would refer to ‘food porn all the time.’
'OH we need a new salad for the spring menu- “go look at that stack of food porn (industry magazines and Michelin restaurant cookbooks) for inspiration”
Or “make me one of the swordfish special, but do it up for some food porn”
I guess its one of those terms that I dont really think of as dirty, or professional inappropriate anymore.
It never bothered me per se, but it’s definitely awkward to come across some chapter of human suffering on r/HistoryPorn.
Karma-whoring. It’s already started with the stupid “upote my can of beans” posts… Dude nobody cares about your internet points, either activity participate or fuck off to Instagram.
“Thanks for the gold kind stranger”
Uhhhg. Reddit award acceptance speeches like anyone cares.
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.”
EditAdNauseum: High pitched ear ringing
Take my updoot
Updoot sounds cute, but when redditors announce their upvotes that does get annoying.
r/the_donald or anything like it. Kindly fuck off with all of that shit.
People who don’t know/acknowledge the difference between “free speech” and “hate speech”
Please don’t let /c/asklemmy become like /r/askreddit, which had half of the front-page posts being the same sex related questions every month.
“Women of reddit, what non sexual thing that guys so makes you horny?”
“What is the sexiest thing you regret doing?”
“How many cocks have you sucked while your cat judges you while waiting for you to feed it?”
It was bullshit.
i think it’s the wrong direction to try to police questions but instead empower users with the ability to filter by text or flairs
“Sir, you have just won the internet” “Thanks for the gold kind stranger” “I too choose this guy’s [placeholder]” And the other corny overused reddit lines

I absolutely hate the love for revenge violence. Stuff like celebration people running over protestors in their cars because they were forced to stop on the road. Or bleeding out after someone got shot when they robbed a store.
This includes that fact that you can basically guarantee every thread contains at least one comment claiming “play stupid games, win stupid prizes”

All that shit can go to hell.
Can we stop talking about Reddit? Let it go.
This
(I’m so sorry. I couldn’t resist)
The “hivemind” ignoring the correct information or even worse, encouraging the wrong information.
Does anyone else remember the whole Boston Bomber fiasco (i.e. We did it, Reddit)?
