How do pre-reddit influx lemmy members feel?

I was wondering how the pre-reddit lemmy members feel about the influx of ex-reddit. Have things got worst or better? Is there any lemmy etiquette that we are missing?

can't really be worse than before given that there was barely content being posted to begin with. have been pleasantly surprised to see very little "le narwhal bacons when?" shit so far, but that's me being a grouch and doesn't really constitute etiquette

You've been away from there for a while huh? That's ancient Reddit stuff at this point.

yeah, i'll admit that's a weak example lol

i suppose i'm burned out from doomscrolling threads flooded with those kind of call/response in-jokes (another user down the thread linked some more relevant examples), very glad it's less egregious here atm

I think half of reddit has no idea what the narwhal bacon thing means anymore. Maybe more than that since the exodus.

le narwhal bacons when

lol i don't think i've seen this since like 2011

clearly hexachrome has been hiding out in a little used corner of the internet and isn't caught up with current memes. (I think i'm jealous of them)

I dunno, we've had some trash get popular over the years, but I kinda enjoy the "absurd surrealism" meme culture we've got now where nobody bats an eye at hearing the phrase "shadow money wizard gang," which is in fact a real thing.

yea i just used the dumbest example possible haha, sadly still witnessing the horrors of people posting things
