Do you think Lemmy has a culture separate from Reddit or is it basically the same? (discuss.online)

By culture, I mean mannerisms, references and key words and phrases (like madlad, woosh, etc)

As a reddit refugee, we have a couple more or less similar mannerisms but the system is massively different. It is intrinsically anticapitalist, not easy to censor, resistant to eee attacks, etc. It is a revolutionary platform which the antithesis of modern reddit. Reddit has started out as true and good but it has been recuperated by capitalism. Lemmy (and all alternatives, as long as decentralized) is the natural successor of reddit.
