grrrrrrr how dare you make fun of shitposts at uselessserver093
Wait’ll you see how the rest of the internet is
💩
Poo poo!
Wait, wasn’t there a post the other day with Lemmy stats showing more discussion than ever?
Yes.
Thanks.
np ur wlcm
You are so polite. A gentleman and a scholar!

Discussion options are limited to:
- Communism
- Trans rights
- Fuck cars
- Linux
What about instance drama?
Instance drama is usually related to one of the above discussion options
What if you get a car running linux? 🤔🕵️
park that thing permanently and use it as a Lemmy server
Don’t forget freeing Palestine
With only one non-downvotable opinion
Communism? Not really. More like obnoxious campism which has absolutely zero to do with communism, but which becomes a communism purity test anyway. Because nothing says left unity like relitigating the cold war in perpetuity.
More like chardonnay socialists.
I’m pretty sure it’s thedonald refugees from Reddit, they’re posting about shidding fardding, and posting how scary they are, while banning anyone who says boo to them. I can see why iron fist Bolshevik fascism appeals to these cunts.
Tbh you can even discuss most of that, if you disagree you’ll just be torn to shreds.
To shreds you say‽
And his wife?
… to shreds you say?
Fuck Linux!
I’ll take this over the discussion options on Reddit.
Discussion options on Reddit:
- trolling / harassment
You forgot Star Trek
No that’s also just memes and shitposts.
Not all Star Trek posts are memes and shitposts, some of them are
Occasionally a video game… maybe
I like when halo punches the bad guys
I like that Zelda guy with the sword.
You forgot bitching about Chrome
Just use Firefox!
Switch to Linux!
Why are you still on Twitter?
Only old people use Facebook!
[Silence about that site we don’t talk about.]
Am I missing any?
Agreeing about Firefox, Linux and Twitter. Like, seriously agreeing, without sarcasm.
Beans
You forgot Unity! Every time they’re mentioned, people say just use Godot…
I see that you must have blocked certain communities that talk about nothing BUT that site that we do “not” talk about:-P.
I haven’t, but I’ve noticed the discussion seems confined to those communities, and you get yelled at if you bring it to elsewhere.
Did you just say Arch Linux?
Weird way to spell NixOS…
'Linux is slang for Arch Linux, so I think they did.
Can’t we all just hate Ubuntu in peace?
I thought I was cool leaving windows for Ubuntu. Y’all crushed me.
I think you’re cool :)
I may be heavily biased as a user of Ubuntu, but shhh
Hey, if want to try it, feel free to do it. Even Ubuntu is better than Windows.
I was also considering Ubuntu until I learned why I shouldn’t.
You be you.
btw I don’t like arch.
Lol you are cool bro 😘
Replace lemmy with The Internet and it would be the same thing.
Removed by mod
Mastodon managed to just confuse the hell out of me before boring me. Take that with a grain of salt, though, because I was never on Twitter. It may be me, not the platform/concept.
I just recently tried Mastodon and I agree with you. It’s confusing and I have yet to see anything or anyone worth “following”.
In some niche communities, its discussions stay valid like /c/radiology
The active sort should help a little with this, but ya its definitely a problem. Besides just blocking meme-specific communities, can anyone think of ways we could make discussions more prominent for people who’d rather use lemmy for that?
You can’t go wrong with taking inspiration from RES. Having a filter for the type of posts next to the sort type would be pretty good. That would require the posts to be discerned into categories (video, image, text…). I believe they currently aren’t?
There might be an open issue in the lemmy back end for this, but if not, you might need to open one.
Edit: replaced animated gif with a static one bc it just wouldn’t stop!!!:-P
I love it when I’m reading the comments for a meme about butts or something, and then it quickly evolves into a deep discussion about the nature of human society.
B-b-b-b-butt… please remember to vote:-).
Since federation is broken a lot of instances I follow don’t have new posts. So no discussions for me.
What do you mean by federation being broken?
I’ve been noticing that the number of discussions on the internet have been going down lately. Although maybe it’s just me using social media less? lol
Boobs
Well said
Internet discourse is increasingly devolved into “agree with me or you deserve death”
A lot of people just want a constant dopamine hit, one after another, I love meme and shitposts, but reading a discussion about something interesting is definitely the best way to enjoy a cold evening in your blanket
I commented a lot on reddit. Since switching over, there doesn’t seem to be as much activity for me to bounce off from. I still chip in, but it’s definitely not at the same level
I interact with it less and less each month. It’s become a toxic hellhole that usually leaves me wondering why I still bother to try - even in the niche subs.
The prophecy is true!
All memes are shitposts.
Facts.
Whoa there, calm down. Mom can only pay attention to one kid in the pool at a time.
