    This is just the latest trend of shitpost, I mean we had beans, we had Beef Stroganoff, and now people are posting Jemes, each time people say they are fed up with it after a couple days. This too shall pass.

      Because new people are hopping on the bandwagon late so instead of the shit lasting a couple of days it becomes over a week of shit

        Yep it’s the low-effort AI generated stuff that’s the problem. Some people just… aren’t funny, sorry 😅

        Lemmy is basically reddit. It’s not any better than reddit was, it doesn’t have some enlightened users etc. It’s par for the course.

        This is the Reddit replacement website. Everyone here probably came from Reddit. What do you expect?

          The tankies and the Linux trans femboys who were here before us would disagree. But the mass influx cannot be ignored.

      Bean posting was just a decades old rehash of a trend. It’s really not much better.

      At least with Stroganoff, it had a funny origin(Google Opinion Survey asking if you want “important updates about Beef Stroganoff”).

      Most of these are just “hrrr drrr this is dumb so let’s trend it”.

    I was going to write this in one of the many many boring posts, but didn’t want to make it more popular. I understand trend and too much time on their hands but deploying AI to spam same thing like this just gets boring after a few examples. Move on

    Don’t know whether to upvote for the comic being funny or downvote for the “you’re not having fun the right way!” lecture…

    Ah fuck it, I’ll do the former.

      When half your feed becomes nothing but trousers and beans and planes, it gets really fatiguing after the umpteenth day of it in a row. It was amusing for a bit, but people have taken that ball too far for my own personal enjoyment.

        And that’s absolutely fine. You’re allowed to not enjoy stuff. Lecturing others for enjoying stuff together without hurting anyone, on the other hand, is just petty and authoritarian fun policing in my opinion, though 🤷

          I always love how it’s the people advocating for an unregulated shit show calling everyone else facists if we won’t let you destroy something that others enjoy.

        Ehh, smaller community, so a little bit slower for trends to fade. I’m ok with it though; I don’t expect nonstop-fresh content here and I like that. People are able to post without bot-mods rejecting every submission… makes people feel included. So you kinda get a slower trend-fade, as people come-up with ideas. I get your point, but no reason to be crass about it. Try and lift each other up and what-not

    looks like you’re asking not to farm a non-existent metric in order to keep up with another useless metric. I’d prefer ppl who participate than those who part
