Did you just say Arch Linux?
'Linux is slang for Arch Linux, so I think they did.
Can't we all just hate Ubuntu in peace?
I thought I was cool leaving windows for Ubuntu. Y'all crushed me.
I think you're cool :)
I may be heavily biased as a user of Ubuntu, but shhh

You forgot Star Trek
No that's also just memes and shitposts.
Not all Star Trek posts are memes and shitposts, some of them are
Don’t forget freeing Palestine

What if you get a car running linux? 🤔🕵️
park that thing permanently and use it as a Lemmy server
Tbh you can even discuss most of that, if you disagree you'll just be torn to shreds.

Wait'll you see how the rest of the internet is
Wait, wasn't there a post the other day with Lemmy stats showing more discussion than ever?
I love it when I'm reading the comments for a meme about butts or something, and then it quickly evolves into a deep discussion about the nature of human society.

Meh. I've seen some decent discussions here on Lemmy, just not in c/memes.
Okay, and admittedly more than half of those discussions were about Linux.

I've noticed a lot of commenters straight away take things personally and think that mentioning something is endorsing it. That kills discussion and turns it into a defensive symantic battle against commenters' assumptions.
A corrollary to what you're saying is that people assume that because you've replied to them, you must be disagreeing with them. Often I'll agree with a poster but comment to add to their point, only to get chewed out for disagreeing with them when I didn't.

Well, in my honest opinion as a commenter, I'd just like to say that I love discussions. What I tend to not enjoy is replying to the 1500 different people who replied to my post with valid takes, requiring me to read, understand and reply appropriately to all of them.
I am lazy, ok?!
Edit: replaced animated gif with a static one bc it just wouldn't stop!!!:-P

Since federation is broken a lot of instances I follow don’t have new posts. So no discussions for me.

grrrrrrr how dare you make fun of shitposts at uselessserver093
The prophecy is true!
The active sort should help a little with this, but ya its definitely a problem. Besides just blocking meme-specific communities, can anyone think of ways we could make discussions more prominent for people who'd rather use lemmy for that?
You can't go wrong with taking inspiration from RES. Having a filter for the type of posts next to the sort type would be pretty good. That would require the posts to be discerned into categories (video, image, text...). I believe they currently aren't?
