I'm glad there's fewer 'comedians' here (lemmy.world)

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 have noticed a much stronger contingent of Tumblr vibes. I wish I got more humor, but instead I get this gestures broadly.

It's the brooding sensitive types that crumble under humor or criticism that I see most. Maybe I'm the antagonist of this story but I feel like I've made more people cry on lemmy than I've made laugh or change minds, and I'm not the even the mean reddit type.

Edit: a word

This is certainly a statement.

I can't speak for Tumblr vibes since I've never interacted with that platform much. But I do agree with you, I also see there are more sensitive users here than on Reddit.

Finally. We found the snowflakes the elders so talked about (TYPICAL REDDIT HUMOUR)
