Perhaps this is a dark thought… but I’m wondering what the future Lemmy equivalents to “We did it Reddit!” or “Thanks for the gold kind stranger!” will be.

It seems like something cliche or corny always springs up, like it’s unavoidable.

    Lemmy is only barely getting started. It’s way to early to try talk about what annoying over used phrases will plague the platform.

    “I don’t mean to spez, but I don’t agree…” (I’m not trying to be an asshole, but…)

    “Lemmy say…” (my opinion is…)

    “And L’Emmy for best performance goes to…” (praise a good comment)

    “Let me provide a cool glass of Lemmy-aid for you.” (I’m giving a friendly bit of unsolicited advice.)

    “Quite the CaLemmyTea!” (A big disagreement or negative event (catastrophe) that ended in a surprisingly civil way (like over a good cup of tea.))

    I hope that’s the worst that happens to Lemmy. My worry is that it slowly dies off after it doesn’t grow enough to keep people interested.

      Same thing with the various Twitter migrations where they kept trying to turn Mastodon/ Calckey into the new Twitter. I think people like familiarity.

        Sure, and Lemmy existed prior to the “Reddit exodus”, so people like Lemmy too.

        Maybe enjoy Lemmy for what it is, before trying to bend and twist it into Reddit’s image? Why not consider it a fresh start.

          The powermods just demonstrated they can only survive without their precious powertrip for 2 days TOPS, most of our mods are passionate pioneers but in the long term we might also have the powermod problem faced on pretty much every site except Wikipedia’s gigachads and RationalWiki’s democratically-elected mod team. But even then, simply defedding your instance from the ones they powertrip on should quarantine them, and it also helps that since we’re nonprofit they have no boots to lick.

          I REALLY don’t want us to bully kids to the point of suicide for using Reddit.

          And I dread the day that c/atheism becomes just another embarrassing circlejerk dedicated entirely to bashing believers and blaming all current problems on their overall existence.

    Random thought related to gold, but I wonder if it would be feasible to make some kind of fediverse tipping system that allowed people to give tips that showed up as something gold-like or award-like. Could be neat, but validating the payment when multiple instances are involved could be challenging without getting instances involved with payment gateways and finance regulations. I’m sure it could be done with crypto but that would probably be offputting to most people.

      Could be a thing for individual instances. Broadly not Lemmy wide, can’t wait for the first stupid Internet drama here.

        One month into my home instance’s existence (lemmy.world) and we’ve already had our inaugural hack and a few technical growing pains that broke several mobile apps for days
