getting bamboozled by shittymorph every goddamn time is one of the very, very few things i miss about reddit

[–] [email protected] 101 points 1 month ago (3 children)

A tumblrized reference to an ancient reddit in-joke. How quaint.

Honestly kind of a bittersweet thing to see, it makes me think of all the good things we left behind. But then again, we did bring the best parts with us. Star Trek, Linux, and beans are all a Lemmizen needs.

Wasn't shittymorph one of the ones who came here with the exodus?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago (5 children)

They're still posting on reddit. So either they never went or they came here, seen the state of the platform and promptly left.

I think there were a number of power users for whom that was the case

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

We're honestly better off without them. Power users and power mods kinda ruined Reddit.

Power users and power mods are trying their best to ruin Lemmy too

Do we have a c/beetlejuicing?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Shoulda named yourself work/timeuser you wouldn't be catching as many strays.

What is a power user on Reddit?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Someone like Gallowboob. They just post an endless stream of low quality drivel and eventually turn into ad machines and push specific narratives and propaganda. We're much better off without them.

Looks like it might be the latter. I see this profile, but the cake day and the last post were both over a year ago.

He's not morphing anymore though, which is kind of sad, but understandable.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

They are - on reddit. Someone linked a comment here from a month ago. They just didn't stay on lemmy, if they ever came here.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

That's a chatbot.

The real one posts exclusively on Pillowfort.

I don't like Star Trek, I don't understand Linux, and I don't even know what you mean by "beans". Unless you mean the actual food......but that doesn't answer any questions.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I admire your honesty, it's a bold strategy on the internet.

Beans is referencing the period where bean memes were the popular meme. There wasn't a reason (that I could see), people just posted bean memes for a while.

I miss shittymorph, what a legend.

I am unable to parse that last paragraph

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

It's a reference to a reddit user (https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/1gnxkgd/comment/lweabef/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) who would post these intricate comments with these really engaging stories that would then end with that last paragraph, which describes the events of a 1998 wrestling show where the wrestler The Undertaker threw the wrestler Mankind (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mankind_vs._The_Undertaker) and the type of wrestling match (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell_in_a_Cell ).

The user was contributing to the discussion and shitposting at the same time. It was glorious.
