  • I can understand Lemmy or others communities hesitation on this. They’re being very cautious about which features we enjoyed from reddit lead to dark patterns and drama.

    This seems mostly benign to me except that it can take somebody’s faux pas (don’t @ me on the spelling) and extend the dunking forever into the foreseeable future. On the one hand, there are legendary people who will allow that to happen to themselves for good spirited entertainment. On the other there are people who will get addicted to the rush and quickly fill the site with ragebait which will be one of the first things newcomers with empty block lists will encounter.





  • Sorry. late response, questionable phrasing. I read a book full of Yiddish jokes once and the punchlines often involved subverting your expectations of the premise.

    Like, “What’s red, wet, and hangs on a wall?” the answer is a Herring or something similar and when someone questions that, you simply explain that you can paint a Herring and hang it wherever. Possibly add other nonsense to further confuse.

    It’s dry, I love it
