I mean. It’s a fun show and all but this meme places us as the murderous megalomaniac, literally one of the worst people on the planet.
Definitely an upgrade, just moved from Reddit to Lemmy, I already like the community and the UI here, plus the fact that it cannot be bought or owned by billionaires.
Welcome! We’ve got memes on deck at !memes@lemmy.world and if you’re a programmer of some kinds we got !programmer_humor@programming.dev to scratch that itch and be sure to drop a shit(post) off at !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world or if you want SCIENCE and memes head over to the wonderful !science_memes@mander.xyz or if you just want regular SCIENCE mander.xyz is full of sciency comms like !science@mander.xyz and !astronomy@mander.xyz . !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone is also nice this time of year, but you’ll have to post before you can leave.
We’re not without our cons though, biggest problem we have are probably theTankies, but here they’re mostly on the Tankie Triad lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. With a .world instance account you only have to worry about .ml, but on Lemmy you can do a personal instance wide block if you’d rather just not deal with them
!communitypromo@lemmy.ca helps too
Same, the only thing I’m fighting is the muscle memory of typing in reddit in the url lol. Weening myself off and coming over to Lemmy and it’s like a breath of fresh air.
See? You’re allowed to say that here
Welcome to Lemmy, it’s nice to have you!
Are we Homelander in this?
Are we the baddies?
They both are. And it kinda works for Lemmy.world given that they’re closer to Reddit than any other instance as far culture goes.
Ummm, reddit was a blatant knockoff of DIGG, until they sold out and where is DIGG now?

Lmao their big new idea is incorporating AI based moderation.
Reddit seemed much more like a Hacker News/Slashdot interface in the early days. They were different from each other in 2005 but slowly started to coalesce into some common features that the other had first. Reddit had robust comments and threading (which I personally consider to be the defining feature), while digg version 2 had categories/tags. Reddit adopted subreddits and Digg adopted comments sometime in 2006 or so.
Digg was the site that originally popularized up-votes and down-votes that are so typical on online posts today. But, despite Digg’s pioneering introduction of this feature to internet culture it was the very up-votes and down-votes that led to its downfall in the first place.

No. Slashdot was doing that, and was popular before Digg launched. Reddit also launched before Digg was popular, about 6 months after Digg did.
Meanwhile, algorithms that ranked content based on user votes were taking over all the web 2.0 darlings, including Flickr’s “interestingness” ranking system, by the mid 2000’s. Even outside of ordering comment threads, silicon valley was enamored with the idea of crowdsourcing indicators of popularity, and building algorithms around star ratings (including offline stuff like Netflix’s DVD by mail, OkCupid’s matching ratings for online dating, etc.)
I see Digg’s use of voting as merely reflective of the overall trends in the mid-2000’s. They certainly didn’t invent it.

And they worked, but too damn well to actually weasel marketing into
Reddit founded June 23, 2005; 19 years ago.
DIGG founded November 2004; 20 years ago.
I watched Screensavers in 2004 when Kevin Rose demonstrated the upvoting aka Digg up and down/bury.
Slashdot was around, but I don’t remember people commenting on getting votes except for the articles and the moderators were responsible for rating the comments.
You don’t want Jensen Ackles to represent the “bad” choice.
I like the rat. I trust the rat
It’s a lemming, damn you.
Are you sure it’s not a rat?
Lemming is crazy piglet rat. Guinea pig is friendly piglet fat rat. Squirrel is tree rat. Beaver is tooth rat. Hamster is ping pong ball rat. Porcupine is pin cushion rat.
Rekshit
CompuServe after AOL bought it
Can’t remember which one bought prodigy
Reeeeeek! - a flayer
Are we talking about the temu version of lemmy the Bread it or somthing SMH
I hope some instances on lemmy doesn’t copy what Reddit does
Needs another panel with Butcher saying “You’re all a bunch of cunts.”
