What are the bad patterns of Reddit to never repeat on Lemmy?

sociablefish@lemm.ee to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 424 points –

A few examples include s*x questions on askreddit, "this" comments, nolife powermods, jokes being more frequent than actual answers

I’ll counter and say that calling anyone you disagree with a racist/fascist in order to feel superior.

That shit was rampant on Reddit and seems to be slowly creeping into Lemmy as well.

Did you experience this often?

Edit: Y U P

I know you think you’re being clever, but you see it in almost every front page thread on Reddit.

Your post history is public.

Not sure how you think any of those comments are some sort of gotcha.

Explain how they are racist/facist instead of just being an emotional child who follows the hive mind.

Also, like a typical Reddit user, you will dig through someone’s post history to find something to discredit them instead of having an actual point.

"dig through". Man, your comment after this one is defending oil companies. And a few comments before is a ridiculous propaganda talking point.

There's a very important reason post history is public. It makes this site harder to manipulate than 4chan. It's so much easier for one actor to overpower 4chan it's ridiculous. A Reddit operation is still certainly possible, but much more challenging.

Lol defending oil companies. You guys are ridiculous.

I guess pointing out how supply and demand works is “defending oil companies”.

A post history enables accountability, which is something a lot of people severely lack.
If you take issue with being held accountable for what you say, then perhaps you need to look at what you're posting.
I have only read the comments here and didn't look at your post history, because I frankly don't care enough to, but I would imagine people are assuming you do not argue or debate in good faith. That may be an incorrect assumption, for all I know, but you'll need to make your positions more clear to people that might feel some type of way about what you're sayin'.

I've never been called either in nearly 12 years on Reddit (and being plenty active with ~120k comment karma).

Maybe if you often get called that you should re-evaluate your opinions?

Yeah, same. I think they doth protest too much lol

brother I got called a racist for saying a football (soccer) player who happens to be black is shite
and football fans are way less trigger happy with accusations of racism than americans seem to be, even if they themselves are american for some reason

Wow there's a lot of weird baggage in this comment.

are you doing what the other guy that is getting downvoted is talking about? 🤔
or wait did i misunderstand

Not in my experience; you just have to interact with the right people and they'll sling those accusations around like mashed potatoes in a food fight.

You are a fascist.

It’s easy to blend in when you blindly follow the narrative.

As if there is ever one "the" narrative. We're all following narratives, brother.

If that's an issue that actually affects you often enough to complain about it, maybe, uh, maybe you should, idunno, search your soul or something.

You know what they say about someone who is always complaining that every room smells like dog shit when he walks into it.

I never said people called me racist. I was a Reddit lurker. But you see it all over the place and unfortunately here too.

Such a sad way to live, constantly filled with anger and hatred.

Don't be so quick to dismiss people's anger. It comes from a place of their own truth. They probably have a good reason for it. Acknowledge the truth first and then address the complaint.

I’ll give you that, but it unfortunately leads to a lot of prejudice and antisocial behavior.

My comment is a perfect example. All I said was that people shouldn’t call others facist/racist, and that was all it took for everyone to assume that I am.
