    Oh yes we do, we want the community here to be like it was in Reddit before the meddling of that greedy, right-wing asshole-in-charge allowed maga to flourish there, and before he fully and officially enshittified the interface.

    The flaw in this logic: We had memes over on reddit. Why are you posting memes here? If you want to post memes, you should go back to reddit.

    Good luck convincing them when there’s already upvotes, downvotes, posts, and sub-communities!

    Maybe educate them on instances and how they affect what you see and post.

    I thought this one was about immigrants. In Europe specifically. I’m spending too much time on politics lemmy

    Ok, but there like it used to be was better than there is now, and if here could be like there used to be now it would be better than there is now and its my opinion that if here now was like there then it would be slightly better than here is now and I don’t think thats too much to wish for.

      Ok, but “there, like it used to be” was better than “there” is now, and if “here” could be like “there” used to be, now, it would be better than “there” is now, and its my opinion that if “here, now” was like “there, then” it would be slightly better than “here” is now, and I don’t think thats too much to wish for.

      FTFY. Devoid of punctuation, this reads like !ihadastroke@lemm.ee

    Too late… People are reporting posts for literally using the “wrong” words or for someone expressing anger over something. It’s like their wet dream is that people act like machines.

    We all left reddit for one or two reasons. But reddit has a lot of issues, one or two of which would bug each of us.

    If you want us to be sure we don’t accidentally make Lemmy into reddit2, you need to itemize the borderline stuff so we don’t accidentally be dicks due to something you think is obvious and we think is arbitrary.

    I don’t wanna be a dick. I’m a blunt asshole but I don’t wanna be a dick. Help me out. Help others out.

    Most people who do this are looking for a middle ground, somewhere between here and there. Sadly, going somewhere new and tearing it down is easier than staying somewhere and building it up.

      I don’t see how this is sad. If you dislike an aspect of Lemmy, there are many options available: Change instances, host your own instance, contribute to the source code, try out Mbin, piefed, sublinks, etc. If you dislike an aspect of Reddit, tough luck.
