I'm glad there's fewer 'comedians' here (lemmy.world)

I was Reddit earlier and viewing one of question subs. The top 5 comments were all 'jokes'.

What's worse is no matter how unfunny the top jokes are you'll get hundreds of cold comments flogging the joke to death.

The 6th top comment actually answered the question.

Lemmy may not have as much content but what is here is so much better quality.

lot of it has been smartasses that seeming only care about broadcasting their opinion

Honestly, I have not really experienced that much at all. Sure there is the odd case of it but blocking the odd user or sub seems to fix that pretty well.

It may well be that your instance is federated with some of the problem ones and mine is not but I haven't really paid much attention to the federated/defederated stuff.

I have seen several posts of people complaining about the users of a periarticular instance (there are a few recurring ones) but I haven;t a seen it despite spending a bit of time browsing /all.
