I think it's fair to call me an elder lemming at this point, as I recall the reasons for both. I signed up on .world with my first account on the last day before the infamous APIocalypse.
Along with myself, a lot of us were putting effort into posting good stuff, upvoting, and generally having a lot of positive interactions. Someone on !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world posted a picture with a can of beans with a caption along the lines of "I hear that lemmy will upvote anything. Here's a picture of beans". It quickly became the most upvoted post of all time.
As lemmy culture developed into a deeply political space, it began flooding !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world with American politics. People got sick of it, and people started doing "we're posting x now until politics stops". There had been a couple rounds of various themes, and then someone announced "that's it, I'm sick of politics everywhere. We're posting corn". Cornposting has become the default political purge over there.
seems like political shit ended up fertilizing good crops, then. :)
(btw i fully support breaking political content on non-political communities because it deters new users to the fediverse and also because it's hella annoying, itchy even)
Looks at profile age: 1 years 4 months.
Me (2 years 7 months): Huh, guess I'll just take my prehistoric ass out of here and go chip flints.
I guess I’m from before time (3y).
We're old like dirt.
Or beans. Old like beans.
Did someone say beans? Old beans are still tasty
well, they said their first account was on .world, and the one you checked the age of is on blahaj. so, an age discrepancy is to be expected.
Ah, clearly age has affected my ability to read and comprehend. Thanks for correcting me.
Goes back to flint knapping
Thanks for the explanation! I didn't use to check Lemmy frequently up until recently, so the cornposting has always been this strange thing i saw sometimes, but never understood it. Now it makes sense
We also did it with vans for some reason. So throw that in your history notes.
I remember a small jeans era as well
Sometimes the beans were in jeans.
Wait, there was a time before every post and comment chain became political? Sounds magical.
The moths freaked me out a bit. I bet that's the next one
I miss the moths
Maybe we should start posting lamps
I was cracking up at the moths
I joined when everyone was competing about holding their poop in as much as possible
Do you happen to know who won?
the promising one told there would be signs in case of failiure
I heard cornyposting was pretty popular
