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.

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

What did the carpet say to the Christmas tree?

I forgot the rest of the joke 😔

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.

It was a while ago, but I remember there being a forced meme about peanuts or something, right around after Reddit APIpocalypse
