Reddit's in-jokes and overall sense of "humor" are lame and I don't want to see them migrate to Kbin. (kbin.social)

I like the overall lack of in-jokes I've encountered here so far, and I want things to stay that way. This might be an unrealistic thing to hope for, but I like good, pure, discussion, as boring as that may be for some people.

Honestly, I think other reddit alternatives could benefit from adding something like the labels from Tildes (exemplary, off-topic, joke, noise, malice) in order to create sorting algorithms for different types of users/communities.

It could, for example, allow people who are tired of the constant jokes to have comments which get labeled as jokes sorted lower, which could even be the default in communities intended for serious discussion... or you could do the opposite and sort funny comments to the top when jokes are the purpose.
