  I don’t have a problem with that.

  The last thing I want is all of the propaganda and barely literate morons that have parasites the rest of the internet coming here to churn it into a fucking cesspool of idiocy.

    You’re making the common mistake of believing that newcomers are somehow dumber than the ones who have been here a while.

    No, Lemmy/piefed has a deep user base of people knowledgeable about Linux, programming, Star Wars, and a few other topics, but plenty of other topics still leave a lot to be desired.

    For example, I’ve noticed that Lemmy’s userbase is probably below the internet average at picking up on satire and sarcasm.

      I do t think anywhere online features people who are good at picking up on sarcasm.

      I think it’s a North American thing. Canadians / Americans are shit at picking up on it irl too

    I do wish it was as funny as a younger reddit, I used to be bowled over reading comments. I fesr we have lost a spark from all the fuckery of the world.

      Lemmy has lost that funny spark and energy, but it’s because of the weird niche user base. Other platforms don’t all have this problem.
