This

I mean, how does replying 'this' help drive any conversation?

[–] ugh@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

It boosts the comment because of the algorithm. I don't know if people do it knowingly when commenting "this" or "underrated comment" but it does have an effect.

I feel like the lack of karma system will 100% help in this aspect. No reason to comment/post dumb things since you don't really get anything with your post/comment is at the top.

Aww. I like bananas for scale.

[–] Aninjanameddaryll@outpost.zeuslink.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Banana for scale pre-existed reddit, and is unlikely to die soon lol

But yeah, fuck the rest of that list, I'm with you :)

[–] TheOneAndOnly@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Really? I would swear I remember watching that start on Reddit...

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago

It did.

Guy above you is wrong. It began with a hidden room in a house found during a renovation.
