should we be discussing reddit less? (beehaw.org)

Seems like a good portion of the activity in the communities is reddit oriented. If the goal is leaving/hurting reddit, it seems we should be continuing on like it doesn't exist, instead of continuing to drive interest to the site. Thoughts?

The two biggest topics I keep seeing are questions on how a redditor can transition to this different format, and how reddit keeps setting fire to itself as it pretends everything is fine. I see no reason to stop talking about either. We can't pretend Reddit never existed and how its content that we provided is important to the internet. I'm all about moving on to the next adventure and trying to do it better, but we do have to remember examples of the past that both did and didn't do things well.
