I was Reddit earlier and viewing one of question subs. The top 5 comments were all ‘jokes’.

What’s worse is no matter how unfunny the top jokes are you’ll get hundreds of cold comments flogging the joke to death.

The 6th top comment actually answered the question.

Lemmy may not have as much content but what is here is so much better quality.

    I went back and forth on this when I was new to Reddit. At first I was frustrated by the humor in the comments but later I appreciated having a laugh so I actually liked it most of the time.

    Laughing is good for you. Questions on social media don’t have to be stoic academic discussions. There are other places for that. It is ok to laugh a bit.

    I also think the question should be answered, so I do agree with you…in part.

      Funny is good. The same endlessly recycled puns, references, and predictable comment chains aren’t funny, though.

      I do agree with you, however.
