I loved Reddit for what it is, but nothing made me back out of a post faster than seeing the top 3 parent threads as a regurgitation of the same inside jokes, pun-chains, and so on.

Don't mind me, I am just waiting in the wings to "Choose someone's wife"

[–] sickmatter@fedia.io 14 points 2 years ago

I also choose this guy's wife.

If the Lemmies end up like 2023 reddit, then maybe what you're looking for is tildes.net which seems to be more like r/AskHistorians meets pre-September Usenet.

I used to wish there was a browser plugin that would just hide the top comment on posts somehow. Invariably, when a postvreally blows up, the top comment is some kind of joke or a pun that doesn't add anything to the discussion at hand.

this tbh 😩 edit: holy hell

For real though , idk if I see it happening. If the culture of "this" comments comes with, all we have against it is an opposing culture of trying to keep comments high-quality. It just depends on what kind of redditors take the effort to migrate

I would support a general community punishment for excessive punnery.
