I also choose this guy's dead complaints.
I understand why it's not remembered positively, but this is what got me into Reddit. A bunch of dumbasses around the world sharing a sense of humour with other dumbasses on the other side.
It was funny. The threads were hilarious. I had tons of those old threads screenshotted for memories.
It gave Reddit the personality it had. The flawed, annoying, absolutely toxic yet truly remarkable personality it possessed.
I would love for Lemmy to have one of its own but I truly miss the absolute random bullshittery that Reddit had. I see it happen sometimes on Lemmy. And the hope that I'll get that feeling again keeps me on here.
if i knew that my comment about koalas fucking a tree wouod be my most upvotrd comment i wouldnt have beleuevd it
The real comment is always in the comments!
It's a pretty dismal strawman in the first panel. Hell, even in 2010 they were famous for being that site that just recycled memes from other sites. Comments were same shit different era, 'le', 'good sir', 'narwhal bacon'... well at least that last one was original even if lolrandumbxD.
But yeah, 'based' and 'this' are literally reused from other sites, especially 'this', which its entire purpose is to show agreement on sites that don't have voting like reddit does. People saying 'this' on reddit don't understand reddit
Alas, I have but only one upvote to give

I kind of miss the kind of gimmick users that made you genuinely say "yeah, the user name does check out here".
Username checks out can be very funny since it often well… leads to the username and adds another layer of joke.
It needs to fit though of course.Ah, the old Reddit Switcharoo
I only partly agree. The part remembers all those situations where a comment on reddit almost made me spit out my coffee while at work because I found it truly hilarious

Python people be like: self.
This guy reddit
I will say Reddit and lemmy are the only sites where comments genuinely make me laugh sometimes
Underrated comment.
Angry updoot
We did it, Lemmy!
It's really not though. These comments show up every day
Take my upvote ⬆️⬆️⬆️
Thanks a lot, u/TittyAssHoochyMama
This, take my up vote and may I commend you on your user name?
Comebacks aimed at other people's mothers or wives will never be unfunny. "Putin bofa deez nutz" is one I've ended up using fairly often in recent times.
this tbh
Nobody in the history of the Internet has ever said that all redditors are creative with their comments.

This meme gets a 3/7 (5/7 with rice).
"This should be higher." "Savage." "Doggo." "Raises spork." "Russian bots are really active today." "CCP shills."

"my biggest regret is that I only have one upvote to give. " 🤢

There was a time when Patrick's statement was true. But that was, like, 10 years ago.
You missed "lol", "lmao", and any combination of only emojis.

A thousand times this

Me too thanks

Here is my completely reasonable opinion.
EDIT: Don't know why this is being downvoted to hell, especially as this comment isn't tagged 'edited on', demonstrating I put this 'edit' in the comment immediately upon posting so UPDOOT ME WAAAAH.

The uncreative memes are the least for me, though. What I'm really happy to see being left behind are:\
- "I don't understand" to convey "I disagree, but if I feign stupidity I'm going to tire you down while making you look angry and irrational for not spoonfeeding me basic reasoning"
- the "lol", "lmao", and emoji spam. I don't mind the acronyms themselves, but it's really hard to talk about anything serious with redditors
- "As a" [insert label]. It does pop up here sometimes, but in Reddit it's everywhere. It's like they believe that something becomes "magically" truer/falser because you claim that you're some random label.
- Bots that "join" conversation to boss you around. Here there's the piped bot offering alternative links to botnet videos, but it does a service, unlike those fuckers. (I'm looking at you, common misspelling bot. The fact that someone spelled "wierd" for "weird" is irrelevant. Stop. Adding. Noise. You. Fucking. Waste. Of. Electricity.)
- The mods. Yes, there are good mods there... and they don't usually last long. Shitheads though are a dime a dozen, because they followed the admins' "how to treat users" pamphlet to the letter.
