I Hope Rexxitors Tone Down the Low-Hanging Comment Chains on Lemmy.
I loved Reddit for what it is, but nothing made me back out of a post faster than seeing the top 3 parent threads as a regurgitation of the same inside jokes, pun-chains, and so on.

Lemmy will likely have its own "the narwhal bacons at midnight" phase.
It'll interesting to see what it is...and then almost immediately tiresome.
do you remember when they tried to make Millhouse a meme
Wasn't Millhouse was a meme before reddit was a thing? Pretty sure I saw Millhouse memes on 4chan back in the day.
Definitely from the 4chan way-back.
I do say everything's coming up Milhouse sometimes.
I think that stuff like that developed when the userbase was pretty young. Don't think something like that will happen again.
At least I hope not...
It’s a free society here, if Lemmy really takes off its most likely going to happen and you’re free to partake in the joke or not.
Lemmy is here to serve all, I imagine some hard boundaries around illegal content will be put in place though.
De-federation can happen for that sort of scenario
Well I'm certainly not above low effort shitposting.
That legal/illegal thing is going to be tricky to figure out. What's illegal exactly in a global federated social network? Whose law applies?
The instance's hosting country's law applies to the instance and the communities it hosts.
Displaying illegal content from the fediverse is fine?
Its a bit complicated. EFF has a good post from a US perspective https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/12/user-generated-content-and-fediverse-legal-primer . My understanding for US instances (and IANAL), is that if you have a TOS banning illegal content, register for a DMCA agent, and remove illegal content in a reasonably fast timeframe when you have knowledge of it, and ban repeat offenders, you should be okay.
