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?

This is very true, I've noticed I've had more free time and others have as well since the start of the end for reddit, reddit was extremely addictive and now people either have to find an alternative, which isn't easy if you use reddit for most of your information or entertainment, or stay on the platform where worse mods are replacing the subs' old mods and most the site is dead.

I say give it a few or 2 and it should die down a lot more as people become more comfortable with the alternatives they chose.

Up vote because I like the term "a few or two"

I didn't even realize I did that, but I'm keeping it because I like it too
