And my axe!
I’ve never got that joke
It’s a Lord of the Rings reference. Here’s an explanation:
https://www.reddit.com/r/answers/comments/docze/i_give_up_what_does_and_my_axe_mean/Ahhhhhh thanks for empowering me with knowledge
It was the trite expressions that got blanketed after gaining popularity for me. Lookin’ at you, “fuck around find out/FAFO” 🙄
“This” used get downvoted into oblivion back in the day on Reddit.
OH GOD I HATE THAT SO MUCH. I shouldn’t but I do
Edit: Thanks for the upvotes!
edit: Thanks for the gold, kind stranger!
Edit: omg my first gold and it’s about buttholes smh
Edit: you’ll never know why I got these upvotes (more on YT, but I think it applies here also)
Karma-farming. Please lets just be our genuine, authentic, awful selves.
It helps that we have no karma. Also, some instances bouncing downvotes helps a bit.
What’s bouncing downvotes?
Some servers ignore downvotes from other servers.
Thank you I have yet to learn a lot stuff about lemmy
Those god awful ads that disguise themselves as posts.
All the tired puns or jokes about Nazis/Hitler. “Anne Frankly, I did Nazi that coming!” “You gotta hand it to Hitler, at least he killed Hitler.” Etc.
It’s the kind of thing you might chuckle at once, but so many comment threads end up piled with the same brain rot nonsense as people trip over themselves to parrot their quirky internet catchphrases.
Those are like pronoun and vegan “jokes”; maybe the first or second one is funny, but they get unfunny FAST.

So I think I have a good one, actually.
That’s what they said.
That’s it, really, an inclusive update on an old stupid joke.
I suspect I’m still the only one to find it funny.

I actually found myself tempted to say exactly that earlier today. Someone said something about sucking, and my initial instinct was, “That’s what she said!”, but then I thought about the audience and felt like the gender neutral “they” might be more appropriate, but I wasn’t really sure, so instead I said nothing.
That’s why it’s fun, at least to me.
You snap out of the conversation and go over the permutations. It’s funnier that way.
Don’t worry, we only have Stalinist jokes here.
Charging developers for API access after they go out of their way to make products that greatly improve the experience.
fucking cake days
Thats already here.
edit: don’t know why I was downvoted, its literally a lemmy feature.
don’t know why I was downvoted
I’m convinced there are people out there that just downvote everything. They get some kind of chemical release in their brains when they hit the downvote button. You could say “being happy feels good” and someone out there will downvote it.
I would say they just fat-fingered it. hopefully.
I think it’s fat fingering then others dont think for themselves and just go with whatever it already is.
Feels awful when you had a creative comment but just didn’t spell it out well enough and it gets like 3 downvotes 🥲like noo I didn’t mean it in a bad way, I just like falling asleep to technical videos and that’s a compliment coming from me 😭😭
A feature that’s carried over from reddit is utterly random downvotes sometimes
The only way to stop that is to remove the downvote button.
People will always fat-finger or vote based on emotion.
They are, I wish them sometimes when I know the person. It’s quite nice
Anti-emoji.
I’m not gonna bomb the place with them, but, occasionally if it fits, I’m throwing it in.
Cheers! 🍻
You’ve got 3 emojis in your name… I think you might use them more than most by a decent margin haha.
Do they show on my comments? I only see them on my profile page.
On jerboa, I see 😈 MedicPig 🐷 BabySaver 😈 as your name on all comments
Cool
With sync I see them in your name for every comment you leave.
Cool
I don’t see them with boost.
Me, either.
There’s a lot of emoji haters here
I installed a blocker in firefox.
hell yeah 🤙
Novelty/troll accounts. I’ve seen a lot of them pop up on Reddit over the years. The most infamous one I remember was one called Gradual_****** (yes, the n-word) that would type out ordinary replies that would gradually switch to ebonics.
A lot of the original ones for year ago were pretty good like shitty watercolour
I really enjoyed the art accounts and shittymorph.
I actually enjoyed some of those accounts, but for sure some of them were annoying.
I recall that from many years ago. Some of the wayward white American culture on that site is definitely off putting. That user was generally received well which says a lot about the soul of a community (or if it even has one).
Every single comment thread on anything that reaches r/all quickly devolving into the most unfunny and unoriginal jokes and/or references. Regardless of how grim/serious the original post was.
And my axe!
I dunno I kinda liked that. Something something broken arms
Especially egregious: someone quotes a Simpsons/South Park/whatever episode and the next 20 comments are people quoting the rest of the episode
We get it. You watched a hugely popular TV show. So did everybody. That’s why it was hugely popular.
ngl I kinda liked that to some degree
- Peops being unnecessarily confrontational towards each other till entire screen just lines
- Stupid stock phrases (man of culture|cake day|kind stranger|calling up votes “updꝏts”|.*)
- Crappy bots with no real utility replying to random comments
- Rudeness to light mode users , r/chargeyourphone
- Ableist subs like ⦅system|fakedisorder)cringe|illnessfakers|raisedbyn●●●●●●●●●s|BPDlovedones|.*)
- Rage bait posts like that one cake AITA post (no way it’s real)
- Karma requirements for subs like r/assistance . Dear god fckin HOPE karma dœsn’t get added to lemmy …
Already answered similar thread to this one 2 yrs ago , but threadiverse changed somewhat since then . Had different answers some of them already made their way here since , so gave different answers this time
Did you just give a regex as an example of the subreddit names?
Yes . The “.*” what I use to mean “etc”
That explains why my mind just glazed over lol.
Crappy bots with no real utility replying to random comments
Counter argument:
GROND
I loved the spammy bots in LOTR memes & Prequelmemes comms
I dunno I’ve met guys as douchey as frosting guy
Karma was a thing in early Lemmy but it was removed by popular demand. I can’t see them ever adding it back.
Just commenting ‘this’ to show an agreement.
This
Should have known…
As in, the question at hand, or people just commenting "this?
Just commenting “This”.
Yea, I should have been clearer.
It’s weird, not once have I wanted to comment “this” on Lemmy. But I did it all the time on Reddit. Maybe because I felt a disconnect between voting (rewarding a comment that contributed) and agreeing with the comment.
Maybe the comments on Lemmy are not so knee-jerk and numerous that there’s not a reason to simply show agreement.
“My dad spent 10 years molesting me, my mom said to invite him to my wedding, AITA for saying no?”
I could do without all the fascism.
Just one. JUST. ONE.
Communities almost wholly moderated by an automod bot, that is extremely strict about nonsense, and where 99% of posts are strictly forbidden.
“ALL QUESTIONS SHOULD BE IN THE MEGATHREAD!!!1111111111one” and then you peep the megathread, it’s months-full of unanswered questions because no actual community member READS the fucking megathread, and then the excuse is “BECAUZ WE WANT QUALITY CONTENT!!!” and you check the sub itself and the “quality content” is one post every 3 months by the powermod that has the power to override the bot.
This was the most annoying thing about Reddit and made getting conversations going nearly impossible. PLEASE do not bring that over.
I found one subreddit that had no active mods, and a bot that admittedly did a pretty good job, but the subreddit was totally dead as a result.
