Better than every user from Reddit coming to Lemmy, for a few reasons:

servers would crash
the reddit "hivemind" would move to Lemmy
the shitty jokes would continue here
just check r/redditmoment, do you want that to become c/lemmymoment?
right now the community here is big enough that there are enough posts to keep us entertained, but small enough to get to interact multiple times with the same people and not get drowned in a sea of posts/comments
the Lemmy community rn is also formed of at least mildly tech-savvy people (that could figure out the whole instances thing), that isn't the case for Reddit

You're posting in a meme community lol. Are memes not shitty jokes?

[-] Ultra980@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

No. Shitty jokes like "I also choose this guy's dead wife"

And the puns. My god the puns.

I just wanted more info about what's going on in a video, and now I have to wade through hundreds of low effort puns. And most of them the exact same dumb joke repeated over and over.

What about that time Reddit got the wrong guy and they killed themselves over it?

[-] TWeaK@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Yes but there was also the time a guy in Africa took a machete to the face defending an orphanage from looters, and reddit got together and raised a couple hundred thousand to help the orphanage. They built walls and set up security, as well as providing loads of learning material for the kids.

Point being, there were a lot of good things about reddit - if there weren't, Lemmy wouldn't be so similar. The problems with reddit all revolve around the admin, and in particular their efforts to monetise the site and "increase user engagement" by promoting controversy and hostility.

What happened? I'm out of the loop on this one

[-] TWeaK@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

The Boston Bombing. Reddit called someone out for it, he killed himself (although iirc it wasn't quite so closely tied together, as in he was already planning on/did kill himself, but it brought a lot of unnecessary hassle to a family that was already grieving).
