This is just the latest trend of shitpost, I mean we had beans, we had Beef Stroganoff, and now people are posting Jemes, each time people say they are fed up with it after a couple days. This too shall pass.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Because new people are hopping on the bandwagon late so instead of the shit lasting a couple of days it becomes over a week of shit

[–] [email protected] 43 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yep it's the low-effort AI generated stuff that's the problem. Some people just... aren't funny, sorry 😅

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Same thing happens in the communities for AI images. Some user will make a picture of a clever idea, but then other users copy the idea and beat the dead horse.

I don't get it. They literally have the tools to make images of any idea, and they choose to use it to make somebody else's idea over and over.

Many people are insanely uncreative and rather dim.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago (4 children)

And want to be part of something, even if it's obnoxious.

Did you say piss is the next meme? Alright, well, I'll do what I can

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Also, most new Reddit refugees at this point (and I feel like there’s been a minor surge lately because of all the IPO crap) probably haven’t internalized that there’s no system-wide karma here, and karma-whoring is entirely pointless in the context of the fediverse.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Gotta say, jeansposting is my least favorite lemmy trend so far

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago

Bean posting was just a decades old rehash of a trend. It's really not much better.

At least with Stroganoff, it had a funny origin(Google Opinion Survey asking if you want "important updates about Beef Stroganoff").

Most of these are just "hrrr drrr this is dumb so let's trend it".

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago (2 children)

It's very Reddit feeling that's for sure

[–] [email protected] 24 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Lemmy is basically reddit. It's not any better than reddit was, it doesn't have some enlightened users etc. It's par for the course.

This is the Reddit replacement website. Everyone here probably came from Reddit. What do you expect?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The tankies and the Linux trans femboys who were here before us would disagree. But the mass influx cannot be ignored.

It was funny about 3 times.

you have to set it to the base setting

so that it's based

The ai-generated images are too low effort and too easy to produce.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I was going to write this in one of the many many boring posts, but didn't want to make it more popular. I understand trend and too much time on their hands but deploying AI to spam same thing like this just gets boring after a few examples. Move on

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

I enjoyed the first few but yeah once the AI - generated stuff came along it lost its charm for me.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 8 months ago (3 children)

You just have to let these things burn themselves out like an oil fire.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (3 children)

like an oil fire

oil well extinguisher tank

I mean, there are options for oil fires...

I… don’t care…?

Such is the nature of the internet. It’ll run itself out soon and become established lore. Beans and beef stroganoff went through that progression too.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago

Not sure if lecture about quality on shitpost is itself shitpost...

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Don't know whether to upvote for the comic being funny or downvote for the "you're not having fun the right way!" lecture..

Ah fuck it, I'll do the former.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago (5 children)

When half your feed becomes nothing but trousers and beans and planes, it gets really fatiguing after the umpteenth day of it in a row. It was amusing for a bit, but people have taken that ball too far for my own personal enjoyment.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'll take jeanposting over political memes 9/10 times.

Ehh, smaller community, so a little bit slower for trends to fade. I'm ok with it though; I don't expect nonstop-fresh content here and I like that. People are able to post without bot-mods rejecting every submission... makes people feel included. So you kinda get a slower trend-fade, as people come-up with ideas. I get your point, but no reason to be crass about it. Try and lift each other up and what-not

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (2 children)

And that's absolutely fine. You're allowed to not enjoy stuff. Lecturing others for enjoying stuff together without hurting anyone, on the other hand, is just petty and authoritarian fun policing in my opinion, though 🤷

No no, they're awesome. Every one a masterpiece of modern comedic ingenuity. I mean, picking a random noun, then typing "randomnoun but it's jeans" into a shitty AI image generator, then doing it again a dozen times? Fucking genius.

Maybe I'm just old and grumpy, but this reminds me of Reddit's obsession with rage comics - except those were higher effort, incredibly. Maybe we can go back to the stroganoff? How about something with dead babies next? Bring the terrible Gërman Fïsh Mëmë back? Knock-knock jokes? Maybe people literally stepping on rakes over and over, as seeing the 700th jouch meme only feels like it?

And your reaction is to post something that belong in the Comics community?

[–] [email protected] 38 points 8 months ago (3 children)

It was a reference to shit. Apologies if, like the sheet, it was over your head

It's actually pronounced "Gemmy"

looks like you're asking not to farm a non-existent metric in order to keep up with another useless metric. I'd prefer ppl who participate than those who part

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (2 children)

We’re so desperate to show we have OC that we beat every dead horse we see.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Being someone that actually tries to make the best Lemmy specific OC that I can, it genuinely pisses me off.
