  Best Lemmy comment so far
  
  How do I give Lemmy gold?
- I always thought that was a sign it was astroturfed. Like my post? Give Reddit money!
- 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.

- Trick 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.
- For a second, I seriously thought the fediverse logo next your username was an award 😂
  
  Hey, it can be one if you believe it! It's well-deserved commendation for your contribution to the Fediverse.
- I had my entire Oscars Acceptance Speech all ready to go in 2018 for nothing. Stupid Frances McDormand.
- 😂 this really annoys me on Quora. I never understood why one feels the necessity to do so.
- Haha this!!
- Everyone there just recycles the same old shit.
  I remember when doing that was pretty fresh and funny.
  I wonder how many sad Gen X ers are stuck on there because they are emotionally attached to their Karma score.
- Hilarious.
