    Reddit has made me realise that I have an aweful sense of humor, because none of my silly joke comments would get any upvotes. On lemmy, I almost always get at least one upvote or a comment. It ain’t much, but I like that my comment made someone’s day second, even it’s just one person.

      Your sense of humour is great, I’d wager.

      Reddit only upvotes the same rehashed, repeated, stupid Reddit phrases spewed ad nauseam. You’ll always be upvoted for “play stupid games, win stupid prizes!!!111” or calling people Karens, or “equal rights, equal lefts” and all that absolute twaddle.

      Damn, I just realized right now that I haven’t seen a single /s or someone upset that another comment left of a /s here. At least, I don’t recall any, there’s probably been a few of the first at least. But it’s nice being in a community where you don’t have to bash some users over the head with what you’re trying to say.

      It wasn’t that rare to see one comment heavily downvoted but that commenter upvoted in replies to replies. Sometimes it was on them for poorly presenting their thoughts in the first place, but it seemed like the majority would often put their own meaning to comments and any doubt would lead to assumptions that the commenter was evil or something. Though I have seen that phenomenon here, including today.
