Lemmy is Reddit from 13 years ago. Here’s hoping it doesn’t go the same way Reddit did lol

Seriously. 2010-ish reddit was a great fucking place. If I start fucking seeing novelty accounts, I'm fucking out of here, to some far-flung instance with a militant mod.

There were accounts on reddit that just made a running joke, or something to that extent. For instance, once guy was shittywater colour, and he'd draw your comments if he liked them. While he was actually one I didn't mind, he's the first example that comes to mind. most of them were dogshit and didn't add anything worth while.

Just like in 1998, when The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.

fucking seriously. It was funny the first 30,182 times.

It is funny because he will randomly pops up and write a super compelling explanation for a question/discussion, and then the last line will have that signature move. It's a blessing to catch him in the wild.

I kind of, liked commahorror but I think most people, didn't get it.

I loved seeing comments from shittywatercolor, poem for your sprog (or something like that), unidan before his fall from grace and the undertaker because it usually caught me by surprise

There were a lot of others that were very boring and I would block them on RiF

Also on the nice list was schnoodle and his random poetry. Always made my day a little more cheerful.

[–] WhyAreWeHappy@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Schnoodle is one of the things that I miss from Reddit. Not enough to sign back in, but those poems did make me smile and even shed a few tears occasionally.

It took me reading your comment to realize the person above was talking about an account that did shitty watercolor and not shittywater color. I was very confused

He did mostly artwork in sepia tones but occasionally would drink up on green juice for some verdant pieces.

No. Sr. Grafo posted his own comics, then made comics in the replies to people. Shittywatercolor did as his name says to random comments in any thread.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

srgrafo. now there's a guy who could make me laugh
