  • I like this about Lemmy too, I am also guilty of one liners as I have also made them, but I try not to in a serious discussion. In reddit if you take a highly upvoted post most often the top comment would be some joke and the follow ups are riding that joke, even if someone makes some good well thought out comment, the following comment seems jokes or one liners picking on the comment. Good comments gets buried underneath all the trash comments and it feel like a chore digging through those comments to find some meaningful comment. I understand when this happens in meme/shit posts but when it happens in tech or serious post i get pissed.
    I knew about Lemmy 3 years ago and joined lemmy during the api bullshit about 2 years ago. After that, I had my time where I went back to reddit ocassionally as initially I felt there were way less content on Lemmy, but every time I went back I just couldn’t get along with reddit, even though the content was high lot of it were just trash and the comments weren’t engaging and mostly toxic or circle-jerking. I am glad that I am now settled in Lemmy and have now limited reddit to only finding answers to obscure tech problems.




  • TLDR

    r/no-sleep material where husband keeps playing a sim game until he eventually becomes the character he modelled after himself in the game.

    This reminds me of a no sleep material from reddit that I read, in that story there was a husband who kept playing a sims like game. He created himself and his wife in the game, even going as dar as naming them after themselves and creating the sim in a way that it resembled them and modelling the house after theirs. He kept role playing and playing that game for hours that it did affect his relationship with his wife and she was generally unhappy with him, at one point when he kept playing he noticed that his irl wife was getting distant and distant, meanwhile the sim wife was really happy with her husband. There are a lot that happens in between and then the story goes that one day he noticed his wife was really happy with him. But there was something weird with her, her eyes always fixated straight not showing much emotion other than the smile when she told him she loves him. It was like her wife went from really unhappy to happy but still weird. He passed his days doing his job, coming back to his house playing the sim game on his PC afterwards, his wife was not even bothered about it. One morning they were watching the TV together and she kept saying the same thing over and over again, he knew something was wrong and then he realised almost everyone in his work and other social setting was like that, he realised he has became a character in his own sim game.
