Agreed. It would be nice if joke comments could continue to find a happy home in joke communities. I’m not really in it for the laughs most of the time.

MODERATORS
I think it's slightly less of a problem with the platform and more of an issue with how the content that is the replies get served. First come, first serve. Even on Lemmy the first few responses will be much higher voted than the rest, because they get sorted to the top.
Personally I quite enjoy stupid jokes, but it's not like I super miss them. I just have a soft spot for bad puns and low effort word play

It was a while ago, but I remember there being a forced meme about peanuts or something, right around after Reddit APIpocalypse
This is the main reason I'm here. In 5-10 years, the fediverse will be standard, and full of the same slobbering morons. But for now, being niche and fresh, it seems to be populated by more intelligent and conscientious folks.
