          The problem is that when you have a community of people pretending to be nazis, it makes it a lot easier for real nazis to show up.

          I mean, they literally coordinate shit like that on StormFront and whatnot

            That’s why we’re not anonymous here and not pretending to be nazis. Also, the actual bad shit did take a while to take over and push out the anarcho-creativity of the mid to late 2000s. In 2010, My Little Pony Friendship is Magic started and became the phenomenon it was, not least because of 4chan - that should tell you how many very decent people were still there. I genuinely think it’s sad that people only remember the later years of 4chan and I think adopting a bit of its original spirit could be good for Lemmy.

    That’s a good sign. One of the endearing things about Reddit was coming in and discovering some weird-ass new trend that had blown up in the space of 24 hours that everybody else had already gotten on board for. “Ok, I guess we’re doing people doing paintings of other people standing next to their paintings and making a big chain, that’s cool.” There’d be the initial trend itself, then reaction-memes to that trend, then shitposts making fun of the trend, then finally, after a span of time, TIL posts talking about the trend after the fact.

    It’s kind of stupid and seems to have been taken too far. It’s not even funny. I hope lemmy doesn’t become like reddit with the dumb overused memes.

    Meme culture moves quick on lemmy, I have no idea where the beans came from or what it means, and I think it’ll be replaced with something else by the time I figure it out
