I loved Reddit for what it is, but nothing made me back out of a post faster than seeing the top 3 parent threads as a regurgitation of the same inside jokes, pun-chains, and so on.

    totes agree on that ish

    the dumb shit is what makes it feel like a community or friends getting together. if its not that its a college message board for assignments

      yeah, it’s almost a bit intimidating to post here now the fun has settled. you have to think of a whole thought about a somewhat serious topic and sometimes that’s just…ugh

        ya that hype will die down too

        im totally a filthy casual and get the dislike but if lemmy survives and thrives, it will be with the help of shitposters

        not everything has to be serious

          Thank god. I enjoyed using reddit because I used to shitpost irl and have had to tone it down with work so I need an outlet somewhere…
