I’m tired about reading about reddit here.

We left. Let’s move on.

    I don’t mean to be rude OP, but your entire contribution to lemmy has been 5 comments and this single post about Reddit. In order to gain traction as a viable alternative to Reddit we need OC and active participation in the comment section. Be the change you want to see and lead by example - start posting interesting non-Reddit related stuff yourself. The more people that do, the better lemmy will be.

    Hard disagree. The Reddit situation is a huge news story even for people who aren’t on Reddit.

    Also you wouldn’t bring up an ex on a first date because you’re trying to impress the new person. However you would definitely talk about her to friends and family if it was an upsetting situation for you. Reddit was a big part of my life and it fucking sucks what happened To it

      I think there is a thin line there, which has been crossed.

      Talking about Reddit drama is fine. But when 90% of the posts here are all about Reddit (or Meta/Twitter vs Mastodon) it seems to me that people are just salty.

      I came here because I gave up on Reddit, and I am looking for a reddit substitute. What I wish is to find here the content I would normally find there, so that I am not forced to move back to that wonderful website, sadly managed by shitlords (as the other 100% of profit driven websites. A lesson hard learned).

      But if my feed is spammed by 90% stuff about Reddit and nothing else, that is not the way to growth or make people stick around.

        Totally. But the reddit discussions will naturally die down and/or be contained in the “reddit sucks” specific subreddits (I think they are called “Communities” on most instances? Sorry - still learning). But either way it’s a hot topic right now and, as you said, people are angry, hurt, and want a place to vent. I like that we have that space and can discuss together.

      You’re right, anyone trying to get to first base with the Fediverse needs to have a serious word with themselves.

      You’re right in that the analogy is way off. Here’s the only way it would make it right, is if your new date also wanted to vent about your ex. That’s probably not the case. But being a Reddit refugee is something in common for many people on Lemmy (especially right now) and so it makes perfect sense for people to talk about it.

      Also, I don’t give much thought to the posts I scroll past…

    Here is a hot take: think of it like leaving a house you have been renting for 10 years. Our relationship wasn’t with the landlord as much as it was the neighbors and community.

    Now, our landlord turned to a money-grubbing asshat spaz spez. You better believe we are telling everyone in our community, old and new, not to rent from him. Additionally, we are going to be venting the hurt of being evicted. We have all been forced to find a new neighborhood and learn everything new that comes with it. Our habits have been reset and it sucks.

    It’s been like a week since the most recent migration happened, we can’t just expect this to blow over immediately when like 90% here came from reddit just 7 days ago

      I do feel for those who were enjoying a peaceful place until us rabble turned up needing to go through the stages of grief.

      I’m very grateful for it existing.

        I mean kinda but realistically thats probably like 2% of people here and even most of those will be previous redditors.

        You can’t make a reddit clone and then moan that reddit users move over here thats my take on it at least lol.

    Bad analogy, it would be like meeting up with all your ex-girlfriend’s other former partners and all bitching about that shared ex because you have that thing in common.

      Now that you mention it, I really wonder what would happen if all my exes got together to talk shit about me. What would that groupthink decide about me? Oh god nevermind, banish the thought…

        I agree to an extend. I could spend hours doom scrolling reddit but it was actually surprisingly easy to replace rif with wefwef.

    The fediverse has gradually shifted from being 75% posts complaining about reddit and 25% other to being 25% posts complaining about reddit, 25% posts complaining about how people come here to complain about reddit, and 50% other. We be makin progress!

    Instead of reddit, why not talk about something more positive on your date, like how many tickets you are going to buy for my new movie, “Barbie”, only in theaters July 21st?

      Wait, Barbie™ ? The upcoming fantasy comedy film directed by Greta Gerwig from a screenplay she wrote with Noah Baumbach? Based on the Barbie fashion dolls by Mattel? The first live-action Barbie film after many computer-animated direct-to-video and streaming television films? The film starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as Barbie and Ken, respectively, alongside an ensemble supporting cast that includes America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae, Rhea Perlman, and Will Ferrell?

      Hello Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie (sometimes I get mistaken for you). Is it true you were cast in Barbie because you have plastic feet?

      None. Not going to watch it because it shows a map with China’s nine dash line. China has been harassing our fishermen and coast guards here in the Philippines, in our own waters. The government is also planning to ban the movie.

        I heard about this, but I really can’t find anything resembling that on the disputed frame. Like, it has to be there because a government probably checked it better than me, but where exactly?

    Except the person you are on the date with also broke up with Reddit, and that is why you are on a date in the first place.

    It’s only been 8 days dude. Gotta give people time to grieve and accept it so they can move on.

    We talk about what’s important to us in the moment… It’s part of how we mourn the loss we’ve just experienced.
