do you want lemmy to have a different userbase and culture than reddit

or NO

mine is yes, since i dont want the fediverse users to bring their former platform's bad habits with them

Yes, but here we are, anyway. Largest instance is R*ddit 2.0.

Forced culture is what shaped all the failed platforms like Reddit, I don't think I would like that.

Lemmy is going to have the culture it has.

Yeah, I agree, let’s force a non forced culture, with beans and hookers!

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.

Thankfully there's different instances

People suck. They're going to suck here like they suck in reddit.

Having migrated a couple times, I've found that instances have their own culture and I don't see anything wrong with that.

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.

The mob already exists 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

Yes, it is here sometimes and in part; on Reddit it is like the God of Spinoza--ever present in all things.

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.

It does and should.

I just fused beans from Lemmy with the blackjack and hookers, instead of saying like beans and deans.

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.

I'm sure every user here has their own culture.

Seriously, you should clean out your fridge once in awhile.

Will probably has something to do with it. Luck and chance mean nothing if squandered.

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.

I don't really like the parroting of in-jokes thing. Probably any sufficiently long lived large group will probably have in-jokes, but reddit-isms always grated the most.

I don't know what reddit's culture is like, since I left years ago.

Culture = your Cult

The decentralized design of the Fediverse intentionally allows differing cultures to interact, while preventing any single one from dominating the means of communication. The attempt to define cultural rules is a fools errand without centralized control.

The Fediverse has no centralized control, and thus will never be subject to a single set of cultural rules - nor should it be.

Yeah but also social media is just a medium. It's the people who create the culture, not the medium. Sure people adapt to other people but you still start somewhere.

Tumblr was popular with young people, women and minorities, and to this day it's overwhelmingly queer and female. Facebook was popular with young people but was quickly discovered by organisations and businesses as an easy way to be public facing, so over time it's become sort of more professional and inclusive of older people.

What kind of people used reddit? Before it got popular, it's culture was influenced by millennials, nerd culture and hobby forum culture. That's what's stayed. What kind of people use Lemmy? Well, that's the question isn't it?

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

I think the fediverse is a series of individuals who will create microcultures. we will not all be interacting with everyone and will be what we will be.

Lemmy already has several cultures independent of Reddit.

Most of us are here because reddit is shit and unusable. Why would we want that here?

that is not made by AI

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

It'll develop. Whether it should or not eventually Lemmy will develop its own distinct online culture which carries across instances, topics and communities.

I know people will think it won't have its own particular culture because it's decentralized etc etc but I remember people saying the same thing about Reddit in like 2011. The smaller community identities either got absorbed into the larger idea of what a "redditor" is or the subs just died.

It's a little early to say, but Lemmy culture so far has a lot of carryover of Reddit. Which makes sense considering most people here probably used Reddit first. In my experience Lemmy yo-yos between reddit but grumpier and reddit but more conversational. It reminds me a lot of early reddit in that people put more effort into their comments than other places, but also has an air of confident pseudo-intellectualism. There's no real hivemind yet but there are generally popularized norms.

Lemmy will have whatever culture it has.

I want many cultures to digest the nonsesnse of this modern life. Reddit is a bot pig pin owned by the corpos. It is a filthy useless place. Some times I use redlib to see what the piggies are up to. You know intel. I have not used reddit for like a decade. I am too spicy. On lemmy you can get around banned from community and challenge the ignoramuses via smashing hug boxes.

doesn't stop people from flooding other instances with their instances culture

really, then why is most of the top posts in the all feed nothing but ragebait?

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.

*this

If ape sorry for being a dick

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.

Money helps

Yet how do you tell a stoooopid person that they are stupid? Is it there fault? Rise Lazarus

• their

I hope it's more thoughtful.

Whatever funhole is doing.

Funhole is great.

Funhole fucks.

The people will create the culture naturally and naturally it will evolve over time and time again.

Lemmy users are exactly like Redditors, just way more obnoxious.

I actually find it hard to read comments on here, as a new user

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.

Beans, jeans, no pooping...
