    Yeah there was some boring fucking trend going around where people posted 10 year old memes. I had to block four or five communities to have a usable lemmy experience.

    In some ways this whole thing feels like WoW classic. A lot of people trying to relive the internet of their youth, while not realizing things weren’t actually that great back then either. I can haz cheesburger? What the fuck were we thinking.

      To me that all felt very much like a Reddit thing. Somebody made a joke about that about posting old memes that was MAYBE mildly amusing, then everybody went ahead and killed the horse before beating it for 24 hours.

      Agreed. These “trends” that last for a couple of days before switching to the next one are stupid. People just start spamming old shitty content only because everyone else is too. It definitely makes Lemmy more active but getting my feed filled with low effort shitposts is not the kind of activity I’m looking for. I’ve been here for a month and I’ve already blocked more users/communities than I ever did on reddit.

      We were younger. There’s no shame in being young, and liking things then that seem stupid now.
