Best Lemmy comment so far

I always thought that was a sign it was astroturfed. Like my post? Give Reddit money!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Truck to avoiding that is to never get gold. Took me 10 years to never get gold once. I'm good at what I don't do.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I also hate "happy cake day", and "this". Especially "this". It's a worthless comment that adds nothing more to the discussion than a simple upvote.

I had my entire Oscars Acceptance Speech all ready to go in 2018 for nothing. Stupid Frances McDormand.

For a second, I seriously thought the fediverse logo next your username was an award πŸ˜‚

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Hey, it can be one if you believe it! It's well-deserved commendation for your contribution to the Fediverse.

πŸ˜‚ this really annoys me on Quora. I never understood why one feels the necessity to do so.
