Know what I don't miss from reddit? Every other post with "1 comment" but it's just fricking automoderator (feddit.uk)

Thats not 1 comment, that's 0 comments.

What really pisses me off are entire comment threads filled with "happy cake day!". Like that adds anything to the conversation. There's 1/365 chance that any comment is made on their anniversary. It's not that rare when there's hundreds of millions of people posting (or whatever smaller percentage actually post)

That and the one word reply…

β€œThis”.

Upvoted!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was really tempted to reply to your post with "this"

[–] rms1990 1 points 1 year ago

Also...

This is the way

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It was even worse when they added commenting it as a feature to the official app.

[–] Falmarri 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're kidding me. They did?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Yeah, you'd press a button next to a commenters name. That's why you'd see so many with the exact same phrasing.

Awful.

I would always report everyone saying that as spam

[–] SheeEttin 1 points 1 year ago

I got a three-day ban from reddit for reporting spam.

gotta get that brainless engagement up! gotta feed the ad vampires! ugh, what a wreck...

One step away from just having a one click "post suggested comment" feature that I'm sure is inevitable

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

I am not going to miss when I make a post that I really need help with and for the only reply to be "happy cakeday"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Does Lemmy show them? If I look on your profile it literally says "Cake Day: (date)"

But I'm not sure if it would flag your account on that day.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yes Lemmy also shows cake day on the comments. There will be a lot of those a year from now.
