do you want lemmy to have a different userbase and culture than reddit
or NO
mine is yes, since i dont want the fediverse users to bring their former platform’s bad habits with them
I would like it to, but I don’t think it’s gonna.
Lemmy is going to have the culture it has.
Forced culture is what shaped all the failed platforms like Reddit, I don’t think I would like that.
Yeah, I agree, let’s force a non forced culture, with beans and hookers!
In trying to figure out if you misremembered the phrase “blackjack and hookers” or if '“beans and hookers” is some other reference, all I found were pages for Boston sex workers.
I just fused beans from Lemmy with the blackjack and hookers, instead of saying like beans and deans.
Blackbeans and hookers
What people hate about reddit is what people hate about mobs. If Lemmy ever gets as big as reddit, it will suck just as much.
I hate this kind of talk. For me the point of the fediverse isn’t that it’s cool because it’s niche, but that it’s cool because it’s a solution to a systemic problem with Social Media. I want Lemmy to get big and messy and full of obnoxious people. I think that’s a GOOD thing. Because then they’ll be on the fediverse, and not on a platform owned by a single billionaire
The fediverse won’t survive that kind of growth in its current form.
Federation requires mutual trust. As soon as there are enough users to make it a target, and a sophisticated threat appears, it will be impossible to avoid manipulation.
lemmy.world will defedrate from everyone.
I don’t think this is “bad”, just a predictable future of the fediverse.
The mob already exists here
Yes, it is here sometimes and in part; on Reddit it is like the God of Spinoza–ever present in all things.
that’s just facebook talking in you to keep the competition small
People suck. They’re going to suck here like they suck in reddit.
The people will create the culture naturally and naturally it will evolve over time and time again.
Lemmy already has several cultures independent of Reddit.
Beans, jeans, no pooping…
Thankfully there’s different instances
doesn’t stop people from flooding other instances with their instances culture
You don’t have you embrace Star Trek or Linux to hang out here. Not right away, anyway.
Having migrated a couple times, I’ve found that instances have their own culture and I don’t see anything wrong with that.
Most of us are here because reddit is shit and unusable. Why would we want that here?
I think the fediverse is a series of individuals who will create microcultures. we will not all be interacting with everyone and will be what we will be.
Funhole is great.
Funhole fucks.
Thats fair. Maybe. I act repulsive on purpose. You know I poop and ape. it is hard to sell me. I am low value by design. Preparing for the future where we are smashing the robots. The marketurds can scrape these ape nuts. You give me slop I throw that shit right back. Negitivity is the game taking dumps on the technoturds is my game. Fuck duh gipity. The gipity everywhere.
that is not made by AI
I don’t know, it looks a bit weird. It uses letters like an ai would.

If ape sorry for being a dick
for what it’s worth I would rather have a false positve hahaha 🫡 … It might just be a marketurder. The techbros taking notes… When hexbear blocked down votes I was like… thats on sum libturd tech bro sheet. The world is as it is. Techbros think they can control society. These edward bernays turd babys gonna see what it is to be human one day. Thank gawd all men die.
Yes, but here we are, anyway. Largest instance is R*ddit 2.0.
almost like its just a reflection of a general sample of humanity than any given platform.
weird how that happens… turns out; humans just suck
Humans do not suck. Some of us do because our societal systems are gamed to that endeavor. Other social systems are not and produce better humans, and some humans evolve to be better because of and despite those systems.
and some humans evolve to be better because of and despite those systems.
I agree with the conclusion that mostly when people get better it’s due to luck and pure random chance.
Will probably has something to do with it. Luck and chance mean nothing if squandered.
Yet how do you tell a stoooopid person that they are stupid? Is it there fault? Rise Lazarus

I don’t want a copy of Reddit’s culture on Lemmy, but I think Lemmy’s culture will be similar because of the interaction format and because a sizable number of Lemmings I presume use Reddit and Lemmy both regularly. So it will be up to how close the viewer looks to determine if they seem the same or distinct.
I think one thing I don’t see much on Lemmy are the very tired 3+ nested comment chains that don’t add conversational value, like “and my axe!”. I’ve only seen it very occasionally, and usually in good joking taste, for example the trope “[term OP used] means this, you probably were thinking of [also incorrect word]”.
yeah, there is less ‘dad joke’ or ‘pop culture reference’ humor here.
but people didn’t send you death threats over Linux on reddit, like they do here.
It’ll develop. Whether it should or not eventually Lemmy will develop its own distinct online culture which carries across instances, topics and communities.
I know people will think it won’t have its own particular culture because it’s decentralized etc etc but I remember people saying the same thing about Reddit in like 2011. The smaller community identities either got absorbed into the larger idea of what a “redditor” is or the subs just died.
It’s a little early to say, but Lemmy culture so far has a lot of carryover of Reddit. Which makes sense considering most people here probably used Reddit first. In my experience Lemmy yo-yos between reddit but grumpier and reddit but more conversational. It reminds me a lot of early reddit in that people put more effort into their comments than other places, but also has an air of confident pseudo-intellectualism. There’s no real hivemind yet but there are generally popularized norms.
