Hey, remember when funny almost died on Reddit because of all of the stand-up shots so they created a stand-up shots subreddit and made these against the rules for funny? Can we learn from that lesson that was already learned?
- No
  
  Lol, okay. I'll just block this community in that case.
  
  I love it when the trash takes itself out
  
  It's weird that these people are like airports, announcing their departures.
  
  Wow I've never heard someone say that on Lemmy before.
  That was really funny and original.
  At least our transformation into reddit is going well if people upvote these cringe ass airport comments.
  
  Dude, block me and get it over with. You'll never have to hear from me again. It's really that easy.
  Or I guess you can just see my comments and be miserable. That's fine, too.
  
  Dude just instantly folded like a lawn chair
  
  What's the point of fighting it? I have better things to spend my effort on.
  
  I can respect it. Gotta pick your battles.
  
  Hey, I thought you blocked this community.
  Edit: oh, I found the real problem - OC doesn't have a sense of humor.
  
  More like flexible toast really
- Sorry you got downvoted. I 100% agree with you. These communities are getting flooded with this fucking garbage and these posts should be on their own Stand-up communities. Judging from the replies to your comment, the community here seems just as dogshit as Reddit, so unfortunately I fully expect these communities to go to shit. Between the political posts and this crap, it has already basically been ruined. Such a shame that people are okay with this stuff.
  
  Eh, create your own community if you think you have a great idea for it. If it works out, maybe people will move posts there.
  Whining about what's on an existing community is lame.
  
  People don't seem to understand the value of the community is what the community is about. If you dilute what it is about, by letting it be about everything, it becomes worthless. Just another dumping ground for whatever bullshit someone decides to put there. It's the moderated communities that stay on topic that are valuable.
  
  In this case the community is “funny” so posting funny lines from comedians seems pretty on topic to me, am I missing something?
  
  From that perspective you're correct. I suppose it depends on what you want from funny. This is basically just a joke with a window dressing, does this also fit in jokes? The problem r/funny had, that looks like is repeating itself here, is that these are super low effort so they flood the community and drown out the other content. That's why it makes sense to put these sorts of things in their own community.
  
  I see where you’re coming from. I think as the fediverse grows it will naturally start to specialize more like you describe reddit having done in the past.
  
  Yea well none of this is really surprising. Lemmy is supposed to be a Reddit alternative and therefor it was always destined to fall victim to many of the same issues that plagued Reddit. Just because you get rid of centralization doesn't automatically make a platform or community good :-/. Can you believe the toxic responses we're getting to our comments? Absolute trash people in this community.
  
  That's why I framed it as learning from the same mistakes Reddit learned from already. We've already seen how this plays out, why repeat it?
  
  It will be repeated based on the clown replies we've gotten from community members here and the down votes we're currently accumulating. If you take clowns from Reddit and move them to Lemmy, they're still clowns. Why would anything change?
