balderdash9,

I think you’re right. And if anyone wants to give a deep/thoughtful comment it often feels like swimming upstream. Nuances are ignored and people will just downvote you if they think you’re disagreeing with them (even if disagreement is only partial).

balderdash9, (edited )

Anime has more broad appeal but the philosophical community on Lemmy seems virtually non-existent. Reddit even had graduate students/professors answering questions on r/askphilosophy. And r/askhistorians had even more success. It’s going to take a while for that to be replicated here.

Yeah, reddit admins won. Most people don’t care and at this point its hard to see what the admins could do to start a real exodus. Hell, my reddit usage is way down, but I still go there for niche subjects (anime, philosophy) because nowhere else is comparable.

balderdash9,

Also let’s not forget that Reddit has duration as an advantage. I can look back 10 years on a tv show that is no longer airing and there will still be discussion threads from when it came out. That’s literally impossible to manufacture overnight, so Reddit has a huge edge.

balderdash9,

Often the mods are arbitrary and inconsistent. Moderation can really suck sometimes

balderdash9,

All the money was spent on the corvette outside

balderdash9,

Not everyone wants to pay for features that should be free anyway

balderdash9,

And this is why we hate watermarks. Shit looks tacky

balderdash9,

No, I’m a liberal but this site is sensitive af. I made a meme about a drinking pregnant woman and it got taken down

balderdash9,

The caption said: my wife out-drinking everyone at the table; our unborn son:

Then it has a picture of Tom the cat with eyes bulging that I edited to be in a womb. Guess darker memes aren’t allowed here?

balderdash9,

The left when you say anything vaguely offensive:

balderdash9,

It’s fine if it’s not an issue for you. But for me, if I’m creating something, I want the image itself to look as clean and HD as possible. For a lot of my memes, the joke is in the image editing itself.

But all that is just my personal preference for my shit. The rant wasn’t meant as an attack

balderdash9,

Rant incoming: I cannot tell you how many times I’ve tried to create a meme and the stock image has the logo all over it. Search for anything on google images (spaceship, boat, man smiling, etc) and you will get a ton of stock images with the stock image stamp of annoyance on it. /rant

balderdash9,

This is like an anti meme

balderdash9,

Damn, we just screenshotting The Onion? That sure makes things easier

balderdash9,

Besiegers: we will not kill you if you surrender.

The city: we will wait a bit for reinforcements to break the seige but will surrender if they don’t come.

Besieges: okay, but if you wait too long we will dig under your walls, get in, and kill you all!

balderdash9,

Man, I never know how people will interpret things. The joke is just that she calls her (now husband) daddy in bed.
