There's funny horny (tool to tell a joke) and then there's just horny horny.
And yes, I can do without the second crowd.

Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

Horny AF person here. Theres just not a riske or nsfw place so I dont bring it with me
For me it feels like the larger subs became unusable. Unless you caught a rising thread just at the right moment your comment would get drowned in a flood. Also the comments would be low effort and bad. Old reddit you'd go into the comments and someone would add more context or discussion to the link. Modern reddit it's an endless chain of people rushing to make low effort jokes.
Also reddit's free speech reddit lead to a very obnoxious type of troll dance around threads because "Im not breaking any rules I'm just having an intellectual debate!". Lemmy instances are more like old school message boards though. Saw a guy on lemmy.ml get a post deleted and a warning because he tried to say something disparaging about trans people, come back and be like "IM JUST DISAGREEING" and then he made another posts with screenshots trying to drum up outrage. This isnt reddit tho so he just got quietly banned.
Lemmy isnt trying to sell you anything, and it doesnt think free speech means you have the right to be an asshole and poop all over threads. It was refreshing to see them just taken care of.
Hit the nail right on the head. Thats why I LOVE all this rn. I can make posts and comment and people reply with genuine responses (like you for example). I never wanted to comment because it would just get drowned in the sea of recycled ideas. Plus all the bots which made me paranoid about doing anything. A part of me hopes that Lemmy stays like an old school forum/message board forever, because i'm really enjoying this.
Totally agree. Notifications on lemmy genuinely excite me. On Reddit, more than half the time it was an empty comment that added nothing to the conversation. Or admin mail.
Like, even just as I scroll down this thread, everyone is writing full and proper responses. Not just one liners as far as the eye can see. It's refreshing and exciting. How the internet aught to be.
I enjoy that both are welcome here honestly.
You can have the one liners and you can have the thought out paragraphs. What I would say differentiates it more is how honest it is. People aren't writing massive walls of texts as a forced rant nor is there that driving memes deep into their grave... yet still posting them again and again.
It's okay to be silly and it's okay to have discussions.
What I think we're feeling is how relaxed lemmy is in comparison. You don't have to know the in-jokes and the coded vocabulary in order to participate. In order to be heard.
Honestly yeah, that's a much more accurate and eloquent way of describing how I felt. Thank you.
I suppose it's just... Nice to see actual conversation. If someone is trying to be funny, they're actually trying, not pulling on some dead horse one liner.
I feel like that has meaning. Genuine meaning. It's something I didn't feel with the endless barrage of Reddit.
