A tumblrized reference to an ancient reddit in-joke. How quaint.

Honestly kind of a bittersweet thing to see, it makes me think of all the good things we left behind. But then again, we did bring the best parts with us. Star Trek, Linux, and beans are all a Lemmizen needs.

Wasn't shittymorph one of the ones who came here with the exodus?

They're still posting on reddit. So either they never went or they came here, seen the state of the platform and promptly left.

I think there were a number of power users for whom that was the case

We're honestly better off without them. Power users and power mods kinda ruined Reddit.

Power users and power mods are trying their best to ruin Lemmy too

What is a power user on Reddit?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Someone like Gallowboob. They just post an endless stream of low quality drivel and eventually turn into ad machines and push specific narratives and propaganda. We're much better off without them.

He's not morphing anymore though, which is kind of sad, but understandable.

They are - on reddit. Someone linked a comment here from a month ago. They just didn't stay on lemmy, if they ever came here.

[–] AFKBRBChocolate 3 points 5 days ago

Looks like it might be the latter. I see this profile, but the cake day and the last post were both over a year ago.

That's a chatbot.

The real one posts exclusively on Pillowfort.

I don't like Star Trek, I don't understand Linux, and I don't even know what you mean by "beans". Unless you mean the actual food......but that doesn't answer any questions.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I admire your honesty, it's a bold strategy on the internet.

Beans is referencing the period where bean memes were the popular meme. There wasn't a reason (that I could see), people just posted bean memes for a while.

Welcome to memes!
