Sometimes people need a reminder that we’ve all been the infestation at one time or another. Maybe some of us were never a Redditor, but we were all in a similar position somewhere, sometime, in some context. But I know well that even Redditors are capable of growing and changing as people. And a Redditor having an interest in Lemmy is definitely a sure sign of being deserving of being given a chance.
Sincerely, a former Redditor.
“Ew gross a Reddit” is a W I L D view in a 'verse that is 80% ex-Redditors or similar, whether it be through centralization refugees, or outright ban exiles.
Straight up pissy 4channer-tier ‘you use the bad website!?!?!?!?!?’ purism is pretty cringe.
Ew gross a Reddit
* starts posting screenshots of mind-numbingly inane posts from Twitter and calling them memes
Not only that, but Lemmy has even more of what the rest of the Internet dislikes Redditors for (know it alls, powermods, everyone who disagrees with me is Hitler)
I would be surprised if it’s only 80%. I’d comfortably bet on at least 95%. It’s probably 99+%. If you like the format of Lemmy, then you also like the format of Reddit. Reddit has far more marketing and public awareness.
Well said. I came over a few years back when lemm.ee was still a thing, and there were hardly ever comments on posts. The growth has been noticeable and it’s been mostly good. It’s not like the fediverse doesn’t have plenty of its own drama and idiots, so as long as new users are adding to the engagement in meaningful ways, I welcome them.
i came to lemm.ee from reddit too!
same, shocked that it died since it took alot of people with them, they all scattered, so there less content.
Oh, no need to remind me, I’m not even a former but a current redditor. I just find the idea of the little reddit alien being a pest funny. Maybe precisely because I’m still on the site…
They’ve got to be something similar to these
I, JUST, WANTED MY MMMMEEEEEEMMMMMES
This.
Why is the reddit alien cheeked up all the way to Saturday?
That’s like asking why so many anime women have massive titties. Fan service, obvs.
How many times have you seen a commenter on here say, “Fuck Reddit”? OP’s just giving the viewers what they want.
The AI was trained on manga and dickbutt
coz every day is cake day
Did R$ddit do something stupid again?
Can’t brows without signing in, latest change I’m aware of.
Removed by mod
More stupid than usual?
:3
We love immigrants
We need to close our borders so those damn reddit immigrants can’t get in!!1!
Immigrants good tourists bad
They’re taking our memes!
No no no. We’re one people, not a reddit vs lemmy side. That would mean the death of the platform in the long term. People coming from centralised platforms is the whole idea of building the fediverse. Isn’t that right?
That butt.
I copy most memes from reddit (especially with other accounts). There is a lot that doesn’t exist here or is nearly dead
Not dead, just resting.
