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.

Blocking makes the experience much better. People sometimes worry this can create a "confirmation bubble" but the real trap to avoid is engaging with the trolls and weirdos. I wouldn't talk to them on a subway platform, so why talk to them online.
