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
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
Most of us are here because reddit is shit and unusable. Why would we want that here?
Whatever funhole is doing.
Lemmy already has several cultures independent of Reddit.
Beans, jeans, no pooping…
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.
Funhole is great.
Funhole fucks.
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.
that is not made by AI
*this
If ape sorry for being a dick
I don’t know, it looks a bit weird. It uses letters like an ai would.

Lemmy is going to have the culture it has.
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.
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.
Lemmy will have whatever culture it has.
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.
The mob already exists here
Yes, it is here sometimes and in part; on Reddit it is like the God of Spinoza–ever present in all things.
People suck. They’re going to suck here like they suck in reddit.
I hope it’s more thoughtful.
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?
