Yeah, for a website forged almost exclusively from former Redditors and especially ones who got burned by Reddit's abysmal leadership, I rarely see complaints about Reddit on here – arguably far fewer than on Reddit itself.

That's been a welcome change in the last ~6 months. It was a fire hose blast of people going back and forth on whether a 'thing' was brought over from reddit, and whether or not it was welcome.

Do I want to open a can of worms by asking what the 'thing' is?

Oh, just insert whatever you remember from reddit. Replies that are obviously jokes but off topic, mimicking a meme or such; doing the 'follow the link' meme (though I only remember that one popping up once or twice); sounding out a sentence one word per reply... I saw all of those get panned or promoted. Some people screamed about leaving such habits at reddit, others thought they were the height of humor.

There's a lot of those jokes that will hopefully die on the platform. They had well and truly run their course even on Reddit.

The socialists are the native inhabitants of this land, the Redditors are the ruthless imperialist colonisers.

Or maybe the Redditors are refugees and the lemmy nativists have convinced themselves they are eating their pets.

I'm half-Redditor, half-socialist. I hope I'm still welcome among those with a pure socialist heritage.
