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

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

      Let me simplify this. Would you go to a forum with an address in .ar and complain that the discussion doesn’t pertain to you? You wouldn’t, but you are just blindly hateful of Americans for whatever reason.

          America is far from a monolith. Our states roughly equate to different European countries with vastly different cultures, foods, rights and laws.

          We just speak dialects that are almost all the same and roll up under one political entity. It is not so dissimilar than the EU, otherwise.

          We are, in many practical terms a forced confederation with a shared Constitution. There are those, like in the EU, who want out.

          Edit: the shared single language is one of our under-recognized super-powers. I can travel this huge land mass and communicate viably everywhere. It is key to our cultural impact. It is accidental, but helpful to us. Except when we have people who dislike our impact and become hostile.

      Which Americans are you talking to? We know there are other countries and cultures. We just aren’t responsible for learning deeply about all of them. No one is.

      You’re using some strong, broad strokes that aren’t reflective of my experience at all.
