I was searching by “Most comments” and came across this 3 year old post in c/AskLemmy. It’s been 3 years since that post, so I thought a follow-up would be interesting.

I’ll defend these, at least a little bit. Yeah, it’s obnoxious to get bland and repetitive slop to wade through, but there can be a fine line between that and some community-building in-jokes and shitposting, and I admit I am an absolute sucker for pun threads and especially “No that’s ABC, You’re thinking of XYZ” exchanges. Banter with familiar rhythms isn’t necessarily toxic.
