I just don’t wanna see AskLemmy turn into AskReddit, is all. That sub frustrated me endlessly cause it could have been a great place for people to interact, tell interesting stories, discuss ideas and whatnot, but it turned into “do you agree with this opinion everybody here already agrees on” and “men/women, what sex do you sex the most?”
I ain’t a prude, but I don’t enjoy seeing something that could be a bastion for high brow content get turned into a breeding ground for boring, uninteresting slop.
Gonna take the L here since like ey, not a big issue at all lol. I just want more meaningful content than something with a single one word answer that I won’t remember in 5 minutes.
I wanted to say something like this myself, but I’m glad I didn’t - You worded yourself better than I ever would be able to.
I find that lemmings in general is a lot less of a horny hivemind that would generate the kind of askreddit-post as described above. Sure, not everything is serious, but the occasional satire or joke post is usually light hearted and can be appreciated for what it is without fear of Lemmy devolving into the worst parts of reddit.

Thanks for thinking through what you said before. I think you might be underestimating Lemmy users.
