It actually is, on Reddit you need to collapse and scroll down a bit to get a real non-joke answer to something, over here low effort jokes tend to get pushed down.
Agree. I’m here because discussions are not padded left and right with memes and people trying to farm karma with humor tailored for maximum engagement.

Yes its in a death spiral with the new account based infinite scroll feed direction they're going to go in. Soon you'll see ai generated, or reposted, content perfectly tailored to what your unconscious shadow wants to see. Just like the rest of the apps
This was a solved problem by Slashdot decades ago: You introduce a simple tagging system: "Insightful", "informative", "funny", etc. then you let the community tag comments accordingly. Then if you want to filter out jokes, or only see them, you can do so via a simple UI switch.
