I say we just permanently play a game called "lemmy isn't reddit, but whatever it is, they're both the internet"?
And whenever someone brings up reddit in literally any capacity, we just say "lemmy isn't reddit, but whatever it is, they're both the internet," or some variation of it?
Ex.
Premise: "Stop doing that reddit thing! This is Lemmy not reddit!"
Response: "Lemmy isn't reddit, but whatever it is, they're both the internet"
Ex2.
Premise: "Let's do something like /r/place!"
Response: "Lemmy isn't reddit, but whatever it is, they're both the internet"
Ex3.
Premise: "this site is turning into reddit I wish it would be the way it was when there were 80% less users!"
Response: "Lemmy isn't reddit, but whatever it is, they're both the internet"
Why?
Because I'm sick of both sides of this shit, and this response is neutral as fuck, so it'll make a boring-ass milquetoast brief conversation that basic just echos "yeah mate I guess so huh interesting" and move on.
And no matter which side of that you're on, you probably agree. Talking about how x on Lemmy is or should be like x on reddit only furthers the annoying discussion that will literally never die if we don't murder it here and now.

Let's not

"Lemmy isn't reddit, but whatever it is, they're both the internet"
Or something catchy idk
Lemmy isn’t reddit, but whatever it is, they’re both the internet
I'm down for this
Lemmy isn't reddit, but whatever it is, they're both the internet
Saved that as a draft, ready for deployment at any moment
I don't think Ex2 works, but other than that I'm down for this
I'll take my cake in tiramisu, thankyou
I'm sorry, but you know the old saying: "You can't have your cake in tiramisu"
Arrgh, no Mega Cake Month For You! You get 2 tablespoons of warm cola and a stale snacky cake.
Let’s look forward, not back.
I rather stop mentioning that other site and giving it any more attention

I moved over to Lemmy on June 27th. My birthday. So that works for me.
I say we all celebrate this guy's birthday as our Lemmy tradition
Works for me. I've seen this guy around enough.
What's the name of your first pet?
Phish.
Bean day.
Bean there done that
We need badges or flair.
"Rexodus survivor"
Yes, we need armbands to show how unique we are comrade.
Will there be a Lemmy Christmas Gift Swap?
Mega, you say? Shall we have it in the Lounge?
What about steak and kidney pie for our British friends?
What else do you eat on birthdays?
Candles, I guess.
Hmm, there's an idea...
Birthday antacid tablets and vitamin gummies...
Bean day
How about 'dessert day'
It's in the theme of decentralization, since everyone can have whatever they want. Don't like sweet things? Desserts don't even have to be sweet
Yeah I always have a few anchovies for dessert
I know some cultures do fancy cheeses or breads, or something like yogurt
Cheese, sourdough bread, and yoghurt are all cultured, yes.
Oh you.
I'll take a Crème brûlée
Where once was light
Now darkness falls
Where once was love
Love is no more
Don't say - goodbye
Don't say - I didn't try
These tears we cry
Are falling rain
For all the lies
You told us
The hurt, the blame!
And we will weep
To be so alone
We are lost!
We can never go home
So in the end
I will be what I will be
No loyal friend
Was ever there for me
Now we say - goodbye
We say - you didn't try
These tears you cry
Have come too late
Take back the lies
The hurt, the blame!
And you will weep
When you face the end alone
You are lost!
You can never go home
You are lost!
You can never go home
