Reddit morals vs Lemmy morals in the greentext community (lemmy.world)

I recently came across a Reddit post with a greentext also posted here a few weeks before (by me). While the one here got downvoted, the one on Reddit got over two thousand upvotes. Don’t take me wrong however, this has led me to realize how much morals differ between the two platforms; it seems to me like Lemmings have overall better morals in general. I’ve come to appreciate this. Evidence like this shows how much better Lemmy is as a community (excluding lemmygrad) when compared to Reddit. Instead of becoming what you swore to destroy, you became better a better version. I thought you all would find this interesting.

I remember removing that post after someone reported it, but it wasn't a judgement of you, OP.

Most of us get that Anon uses bad language and that reading it isn't the same as agreeing with it, but I thought seeing an uncensored N word was going to be over the line for this group.

[-] h3mlocke@lemm.ee 5 points 6 days ago

We sure do live in a society.

OP you made the classic mistake of thinking that lots of upvotes means that lots of people agree with the thing stated in post.

It was upvoted there because it contains the nword. It was downvoted here for the same reason. /s

But seriously people upvote and downvote for lots of stupid reasons. Often posts just need an inital wave of up/down votes and anyone that comes after will just go with the preexisting judgement out of herd mentality.

[-] HKayn@dormi.zone 8 points 6 days ago

It was actually downvoted because the screenshot isn't mobile-friendly. /s

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago

I have upvoted you because I like your username.

[-] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 3 points 4 days ago

i have upvoted you because I like the colour blue

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Thanks, i used my passwordmanager to generate a random 2 word passphrase and kept reshuffling until i found a cool sounding combination. All of my usernames are random ones like that :D

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 week ago

And I upvoted you because you upvoted their username.

[-] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 week ago

Upvoted because i enjoy sugar in my tea

[-] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 days ago

blasphemer

[-] EldenLord@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Would you say that honey in tea is acceptable?

[-] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 days ago

defos sus

[-] EldenLord@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I agree, I'm not a fan of honey in tea myself. However I don't judge people for liking it, as some people simply frefer sweetness. Plain sugar is unacceptable tho, also in coffee

[-] SomeAmateur@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I've changed apps since then but Jerboa allowed you to hide the vote count so you couldn't see what everyone else voted for. It was interesting turning it on and off to see how I voted compared to the herd

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 1 week ago

Would be interesting to have it behave like polls where it shows the results after you voted.

[-] SomeAmateur@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

I agree! I made a post on Boost's community because that's what I use currently

[-] remon@ani.social 84 points 1 week ago

Morals, lol. Half of lemmy is tankies that unironically think the guys was great. That's one for reddit.

[-] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 18 points 1 week ago

I'm seriously anything but a Mao simp. But afaik, the famine in China wasn't done on purpose, while the Germans industrialized murder.

[-] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago

Really, the famines were due to the great leap forward killing off everyone who knew how to prevent a famine. Though iirc it's argued that in a few regions the famines were intentional genocide.

[-] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 8 points 1 week ago

There is no proof!!! These dead kulaks don't count!!!!

[-] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 8 points 1 week ago

Just like in the USSR 🤡

[-] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 1 week ago

Seriously, I assumed it was downvoted because the hexbear and lemmygrad chuds got butthurt.

[-] RunawayFixer@lemmy.world 55 points 1 week ago

What I find annoying about these memes is that it's always about how Germany killed 6 million Jews during ww2, while they actually killed 17 million ordinary people in ethnically motivated mass killings. That's 11 miillions victims of ethnic cleansing that seem to be forgotten.

[-] SatyrSack@feddit.org 33 points 1 week ago

Before reading the OOP itself, I thought this post was comparing cropping/orientation etiquette.

[-] chronotron@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago

no, it's because people think mao was right here

[-] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago

[-] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago

Seriously, they can't possibly not understand there may be more at work than talking about historical figures.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago

Did that post call Hitler the n word? That probably has more to do with the downvotes here

[-] SatyrSack@feddit.org 23 points 1 week ago

I just checked the OOP on Reddit, and it is indeed censored there (not just censored by OP here). Lemmy version does not seem to be similarly censored. You may be onto something.

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 6 points 1 week ago

Do people really care if it is censored or not?

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Lemmy.world does censor it.

[-] radix@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Reddit content is posted by bots and/or upvoted by related bot farms. No human general morality is involved in what gets popular.

[-] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 days ago

I went back to Reddit the other day because there was a thread discussing the exact problem I was trying to solve. Like 3/8 of the comments were ChatGPT outputs that were added to the thread years after it was posted

[-] EldenLord@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

That's why I left reddit years ago. The number of posts per day grew but the amount of useful information and interaction fell off so hard by the time botfarms and AI models became popular.

Dead internet theory is real, and it will spread everywhere! I dread the day when I will open discord and a popup tells me: "New beta feature: Augmented voice channels! Connect with your friends over our new AI helper bots."

[-] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 8 points 1 week ago

The Lemmy post got deleted, though.

[-] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 5 points 1 week ago

Let me guess tankies didn't like that ditaste a modal Lemmy has for genocide daddies...

The horror!

Looks like it was removed because screen had n word lol

This censorship is idiotic

[-] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 7 points 1 week ago

No need to make up a reason. The modlog clearly states one, and it's the latter. I mean, feel free to host your own instance or community if you don't like the atmosphere.

[-] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 2 points 1 week ago

That's the beauty of fedi... I can have my opinion and you can mod as you please

[-] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 2 points 1 week ago

Agreed.

[-] Windex007@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

I don't know anything about China, and I don't use votes as "I agree" so I have no idea what this is about

[-] anothercatgirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago

The Lemmy post is much harder to read on a phone because of the long lines of text.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
