Best Lemmy comment so far

[–] SGforce@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 year ago

I always thought that was a sign it was astroturfed. Like my post? Give Reddit money!

[–] Bendersmember@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

Truck to avoiding that is to never get gold. Took me 10 years to never get gold once. I'm good at what I don't do.

I also hate "happy cake day", and "this". Especially "this". It's a worthless comment that adds nothing more to the discussion than a simple upvote.

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I had my entire Oscars Acceptance Speech all ready to go in 2018 for nothing. Stupid Frances McDormand.

For a second, I seriously thought the fediverse logo next your username was an award πŸ˜‚

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Hey, it can be one if you believe it! It's well-deserved commendation for your contribution to the Fediverse.

[–] Stefh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

πŸ˜‚ this really annoys me on Quora. I never understood why one feels the necessity to do so.
