If you’re going to make crappy arguments, could you at least make different ones than the same ones I’ve already addressed from other people? There are people here who aren’t even 20 years old themselves. It’s absolutely absurd that you would suggest that someone can’t repost something just because it’s from another site. That’s literally where 99% of all of the content from sites like Lemmy and Reddit come from. You’re just bitching for the sake of having something to bitch about.

I think it’s time for me to take my own advice and use that block button to make things I don’t like go bye-bye.

Bye-bye!

This website is exactly what you make of it. I don’t care for shitposts, low effort memes, or just absurdist humor in general, so I make very liberal use of the block community button so I don’t have to see things that other people seem to enjoy, but I don’t.

You know what I try really hard not to do though?

Go around and bitch about things that other people do like when it’s really fuckin’ easy to just press one button and never see similar content ever again. Maybe you should try it if you find this type of humor isn’t up to your high standards.

To what end? It’s a silly little 5 second joke we’re meant to read and move on. If this had originally been a tweet would you have expected the OP here to have given you a dissertation about the history of twitter and why Elon Musk sucks so much for turning it into a nazi-haven? How would that have been relevant?

Jesus Christ, you people suck the fun out of things like it’s your damn job.

Can that “word” please die with Reddit?

You’re right. One of the annoying habits I used to have on Reddit was trying to put assholes in their place. But as you’ve reminded me, the world will never run out of assholes. I need to take my own advice, downvote you and move on (and of course block your dumb ass so I never have to see your pointless negativity ever again). Good luck on getting that stick removed from your ass one of these days.

I’ve always hated the phrase “you must be fun at parties”, but I’ll be dammed if I can’t come up with a more apt reply to you than that in this moment.

As I said before, for your sake, I sincerely hope this is just some act you’re putting on for the sake of…boredom? E-clout? I dunno. I can’t rationalize why anyone would act how you are right now. We get it, you didn’t find this funny. But 250+ other people did. I’m gonna toss out another quote that I dislike but it really fits here too. If you don’t like it, just downvote and move on. There’s no reason for you to be a dick like this, but here we are.

Tap dancing Christ, I hope you’re not this dreadful in real life and just being an overly pedantic bore is something you reserve for the internet.

my second objection is that that copying bash entries is meaningless activity - everyone can just go to where they already are to see them.

Yeah, and I could browse every other website on my own to look for content I found relevant but the entire purpose of an aggregation site like Reddit or Lemmy is to…aggregate things.

and last - that post was not funny when it was new and time did not help it 🤷‍♂️

I found it amusing enough to toss it an upvote. Which is more than I could say for your needless dull reply.

I almost met Michelle Pfeiffer on a beach as well, but it was on the other coast. When I was a kid there was a rumor that she was visiting the beach we were vacationing at because her husband (boyfriend?) was shooting a movie nearby. My cousin and I snuck over to the house they were supposedly staying at which was just across the street from us and 2 houses down and saw a car with the movie title (Super Mario Bros.) parking pass on the windshield. We went up to the house and knocked and asked if Michelle Pfeiffer was there and the guy who answered the door said we had the wrong house. We did see a blonde lady come out on the porch a couple of times that week, and even saw her walking to the beach one time but by the time we got our shoes on and told an adult we were going, we lost sight of her. It’s entirely possible it was never her to begin with, but at the time we just knew it was her and we were gonna meet her.

Also, that same week we ended up walking up on them filming an episode of Matlock, so I guess my answer for the thread is probably Andy Griffith.

You’re not. I receive a few comment replies a year from old posts I made in support threads years ago, and I don’t want to screw over those people. I don’t plan on adding any more content to Reddit in the future, but I see no need in being petty and removing all my old content if it’s helping out individuals now and in the future. If the side benefit is that some rich asshole is gonna make an extra $.37 on top of his other 3 billion during an IPO or whatever, then so be it. I don’t feel like the trade off is worth it to me.

Exactly, clearly that’s a subreddit designed for cavemen to discuss their disdain for temporarily halting their music and videos. Me No Pause!

This was a problem on reddit too, and it looks like it’s carried over here. People make new communities and just assume that everyone in the future who finds it will just automatically know the purpose.

It depends on if you’re talking about left vs right politicians or left vs right political viewpoints. If you’re talking about viewpoints, I absolutely disagree with what you’re saying. If you’re talking about politicians, especially in the US, then sadly, you’re mostly correct. The left say they want to make tons of changes but when push comes to shove, there’s enough money in politics to stop any real changes from happening no matter which party is supposedly in charge.
