I’m glad people are active, but why are the most upvoted memes things from years ago? Bots? Users desperate for content?

      I’m a decade older, but I feel like a lot of people who left for Lemmy were active on Reddit 10-12 years ago, and have preference for the flavor of discourse of that time. As it grew, reddit became far too sarcastically meta in a lot of ways. What was once a spicy “in joke” became boilerplate. I’m not surprised at the exhumation of the old memes. It may just be a phase of some sort, a necessary reset, who knows?

      Nah, you’re two years off.

      Or, more likely, my parents managed to hide two years of my life from me.

      That’s awful sneaky of them.
