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.
