Reddit went absolutely bonkers overboard every year with dumb April Fools posts to the point where it crowded out every real topic and made the site unusable for the day, even back in the early days when it was otherwise very usable.
I personally never saw that level of bullshit overload anywhere else.
One of the things I like about Lemmy is that it avoids (somewhat) the everybody-piles-on-same-joke plagues that swept through Reddit. I’m hoping we as a community can keep avoiding them (somewhat)
Sorry for all you beans and Stör enjoyers. This place is big enough for the both of us but sometimes it does get uncomfortable.
“hmm, I’m bored. Oh look here’s some people enjoying a small laugh. Imma shit on the fun. How DARE they enjoy a joke I personally don’t like. The FOOLS! THE ABSOLUTE MORONS! I simply MUST tell people their frivolity is absurd.”
This shit is dumb. It was dumb on Reddit and it is dumb here. Why do we want to make ourselves suffer obnoxious fake news once a year?
Reddit didn’t invent April fools day, why give them credit they don’t deserve if you dislike them?
