      That’s like asking why so many anime women have massive titties. Fan service, obvs.

      How many times have you seen a commenter on here say, “Fuck Reddit”? OP’s just giving the viewers what they want.

    Sometimes people need a reminder that we’ve all been the infestation at one time or another. Maybe some of us were never a Redditor, but we were all in a similar position somewhere, sometime, in some context. But I know well that even Redditors are capable of growing and changing as people. And a Redditor having an interest in Lemmy is definitely a sure sign of being deserving of being given a chance.

    Sincerely, a former Redditor.

      “Ew gross a Reddit” is a W I L D view in a 'verse that is 80% ex-Redditors or similar, whether it be through centralization refugees, or outright ban exiles.

      Straight up pissy 4channer-tier ‘you use the bad website!?!?!?!?!?’ purism is pretty cringe.

        Not only that, but Lemmy has even more of what the rest of the Internet dislikes Redditors for (know it alls, powermods, everyone who disagrees with me is Hitler)

      Well said. I came over a few years back when lemm.ee was still a thing, and there were hardly ever comments on posts. The growth has been noticeable and it’s been mostly good. It’s not like the fediverse doesn’t have plenty of its own drama and idiots, so as long as new users are adding to the engagement in meaningful ways, I welcome them.

      Oh, no need to remind me, I’m not even a former but a current redditor. I just find the idea of the little reddit alien being a pest funny. Maybe precisely because I’m still on the site…

    That butt.

    I copy most memes from reddit (especially with other accounts). There is a lot that doesn’t exist here or is nearly dead
