I’ve been on lemmy for over a year now, and I just realized I used to read all those HackerNews articles + their comments, I haven’t done that in probably 6 months because the discussion here has gotten much better. What’s changed for you with Lemmy over the last year?

A lot more comments like reddit that are the quick (very tired) zingers. I was happy to get away from that but I'm sort of thinking of putting lemmy down if it gets worse.

I don't need your "this." Or "broken arms" or "that's insulting to trash" etc.

It's beyond tired. But it gets up voted and can dominate the comments section. I appreciate threads like this one that promote actual discussion.

Sorry, but... "broken arms"? What does that mean, aside from its literal interpretation?

[–] soloner 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Famous story of a son who broke both arms and the mom felt bad he couldn't masturbate so she started jerking him which led to more...

It's very fucked up story. But whenever a similar topic comes up someone has to say "I bet he had broken arms" or something like that.

Similar one is "shoes came off so he's definitely dead" whenever some fall or other force throws someone to the ground.

It was funny at one point... Maybe like 6 years ago. But like jfc there's no original thought, just echo chamber zingers.

Oh another one: "I also choose this guy's dead wife"

While I understand your sentiment, the coconut will never not be hilarious
