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.
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.
Yes, it is here sometimes and in part; on Reddit it is like the God of Spinoza–ever present in all things.
The people will create the culture naturally and naturally it will evolve over time and time again.

You don’t have you embrace Star Trek or Linux to hang out here. Not right away, anyway.
9 daysHaving 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?
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.

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.

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.

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.
I don’t know, it looks a bit weird. It uses letters like an ai would.

Just let people be themselves. I think that the open source nature of the threadiverse will keep the culture pretty level headed. No algorithms trying to promote rage for clicks. It’s gonna be fine.
- AskewLord@piefed.socialEnglish9 days
really, then why is most of the top posts in the all feed nothing but ragebait?

I guess I’ve blocked those users, or channels or instances.
A few strategic blocks made this place way nicer, for me, overnight.
There are a million little slices of each site/service, where the culture in that particular community or thread or specific comment chain can differ from somewhere else.
So I would say that no, we shouldn’t make the fediverse a monoculture. And with that diversity within the fediverse, we can say that some parts will be similar to some parts of reddit, and some parts won’t. And some parts won’t be similar to some other parts of the same instance.

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]”.
- AskewLord@piefed.socialEnglish8 days
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.
