What are some Redditisms that Lemmy needs to avoid?
For example, people on Reddit asking redundant questions and give equally redundant or unhelpful answers.
Whenever every 'What's the worst show you've seen?' is asked, you'll get 10,000 "Kardashians" answers, which is just easy karma farming.
If someone posts in a community that's geared for something like opinions, but someone elects to just go on a full scale rant instead.
You're viewing a single thread.
Echo chamber, calling people "redditors", talking about the site as if everyones a community and knows eachother. It contributes to the hive mind. Just talk to people like normal people. Also, the writing style of anyone telling a story- at least the 4chan ">be me" is funny. The reddit style of just adding too much detail, snarky remarks, and the (22M) after every pronoun.
be me
reads comment about leaving greentext behind on lemmy

writes comment that politely disagreesI think we should keep them. They can be occasionally funny. I do get that this writing style definitely not for everyone though.
No I like greentext, its funny. I was saying the Reddit text isn't funny- it just sounds annoying.
Can you give an example?
I sometimes will write in a 'telling a funny story' style that is a little more ornate than everyday speech to make it more comic in tone throughout.
Oh, i see. My bad :D
Some of thats not a bad thing in moderation
Just talk to people like normal people.
We are talking over text in an abstract conversarion structure (comment trees), in a place where you write your message on the wall and mabe some day (usually soon) someone will see it and write a reply back.
Whatever "normal" is, is what we make it. Hense the point of the post
Dang. Reddit and Lemmy are just technologically advanced bathroom stalls.
And twitter are the bathroom stall walls and a sharpie.
It's slowly turning into the dead bird that drowned in one of the stools because it was too sick to get out
How do we say "anyone that can chip onto the conversation" in a few words. If "Redditors" ("Lemmings"?) fails that task.
Just say "people"
"Hey people, XYZ!" vs "Lemmings, XYZ!" "Hey, XYZ!"
"People here, whats X" vs "Lemmings, whats X" vs "Whats X"
"I want the people here to know X" vs "I want lemmings to know X" vs "I want you to know X"
Is it better, the same or missing the point English wants titles for groups adressed, "guys" being the only word that has implied boundries rather than well defined ones, redditors use "guys" about as often as "redditors"
Most redditors use "whats X"
