Reddit's in-jokes and overall sense of "humor" are lame and I don't want to see them migrate to Kbin. (kbin.social)

I like the overall lack of in-jokes I've encountered here so far, and I want things to stay that way. This might be an unrealistic thing to hope for, but I like good, pure, discussion, as boring as that may be for some people.

It's inevitable really. Once the site grows, the number of people who think their funny will too. The best thing your can do is dislike it and ignore.

At least the upvote and downvote functions here are separate, so that I can make my dislike more visible.

I remember when they changed that.

The first time I downvoted an asinine, irrelevant comment and watched the vote count turn blue but stay at "24k" it really felt like I was personally being told that I wasn't welcome there anymore. It was a reminder that my opinion didn't matter.

How long ago did Reddit change that? I didn't join that site until 2015, so I missed the early days.

Whatever the case, I hope we keep upvotes and downvotes separate here.

Looks like they did it 9 years ago - wow, I can't believe it was that long ago. link

Not sure tbh. When I reply to people on here, I don't usually mention them. I guess if it's doing it for you automatically, then that's how it's supposed to work, idk.
