After migrating from Reddit, it’s jarring that comment sections aren’t cluttered with hashtag-style comments that are just links to subreddits like /HoLuP/

I love that comment sections here are like, y’know, discussions and stuff. Not just the same jokes and parroted phrases over and over and over.
You're viewing a single thread.
It’s because the majority isn’t here yet. You would have the same quality in smaller subreddits, as long as they are somewhat moderated.
Just wait a few months and you’ll see the idiots returning with their cheap comments.

Because in unicode strikethrough is achieved by superimposing the strikethrough character on another character. So any regular character, emojis included, can be striked through.

To specifically say I was going to smile, but I choose to not.
Don't see any difference for bold emojis.
🥺👉👈
Could you possibly share a screeny? They do not appear different on my app/device in italic and I’m so curious!
That italic emoji makes me uncomfortable.
Listen here you little shit
Sir, this is a Wendy's
Only been here a day but the main thing I’ve noticed so far is that the user base reminds me of the old days of Digg and Reddit. Nobody downvoting comments for no good reason, nobody being needlessly hostile or starting shit. I’ll enjoy it while it lasts.
I don't know, there's still a lot of needless hostility; it's just around different topics.
Lemmy skews even more heavily left than Reddit and it's still too small to attract organized political trolls, but topics like FOSS vs Paid open source vs closed source gets heated fast. Look at the Sync for Lemmy threads; it's a mess in there.
I'll have you know I start plenty of shit and demand an apology for your assumption!
I upvote basically everything that isn’t “this”, a Reddit-ism, or just mean/racist/etc.
It's because the majority isn't here yet.
The Eternal September waits for every platform
It’s nice to be here during what will eventually become “the good old days”, rather than finding out about it after it starts to suck.
At least lemmy has lots of mirrored communities so if one starts to suck you can go to a smaller one with the same topic
But the Fediverse will be different. For example, instead of having one giant Politics community, we have two: politics@lemmy.world and politics@lemmy.ml, each with its own moderation style that has to respect the rules of its instance.
I think that's a lot healthier than having one giant Politics subreddit where it's hard to get involved because of the size and the immaturity of the people.
It’s already starting, I got downvoted to hell the other day for calling it out when it happened
