More than happy to hear everyone smash on zuckyboy though haha. All of social media is a mess right now.

I appreciate the sentiment, but it's probably going to be a thing for awhile :) Asking the internet not to hold a grudge is like asking a fat man to skip the buffet

and I'm saying that as a fat man

Counter shower thought, I'm not even close to dating Lemmy. I spent 2 years getting to know Reddit, it will take me as long, if not longer due to Lemmy not being as mature as resdit was.

Right now, lemmy is the stranger at the train station asking why I am crying. It might turn into something, or I may just lean into Facebook / Instagram / YouTube / discord more.

And yet here you are, doing just that.

People need to vent. I'm also tired of it, like you, because I know I'm never going back. But it needs to be done so that people can clear their anger at just how shitty the whole situation was.

I just blocked the reddit community here so there's a lot less of it in my feed now. Maybe I'll unblock it later. My point being, take charge of your feed and make it what you want!

Yet here you are posting about lol

Okay, but whats an apt date analogy for joining fediverse to bitch about what other people are posting about?

I get that it can be annoying, but we can still discuss what was bad about it with the idea of not repeating the same mistakes here, right?

The Reddit bullshit is $current_topic. Sure, it's probably annoying if you've been here already and suddenly there's this influx of Reddit complaints, but you have to let it die out naturally. People are here because they're angry; let them be angry. Just provide good content and people will naturally stay for that alone.

I never had a reddit account but decided to join up here for "reasons why reddit is bad". I'm here now so hoping not to see too many of these kinds of posts, including this one :)

I’m just excited to see Lemmy approach critical mass. Over 410k members and counting.

It will die down eventually. The migration is still very fresh.

r*ddit

People are still in the migration process. Talk about Reddit will NOT go away, because it's the elephant in the room and it hasn't gone away.
If you were around for the DIGG migration to Reddit, it's going to be similar. It will take a LONG TIME before you stop seeing Reddit related content here. It's just going to be a little less over time.

I doubt it will ever go away to the level of DIGG, unless Reddit completely implodes, which it won't. Reddit in its current state is still usable for the silent majority of users via desktop or official app, like it or not. DIGG rn is completely useless.

What we can do is support each other, create and share meaningful content here. Migrate your interests, and if it doesn't exist, create it or someone else can. Lemmy growth and interactions have exploded, even over the past week. Give it time, and enjoy the fact that we don't have to worry about Reddit screwing itself at the cost of their users.

It's a form of therapy

Speaking of the ex, did I tell you about the time she kicked me out of /r/poli...

Oh no people are using some form of social media to complain. Well anyway.

Just ignoring it fully when it's so fresh isn't healthy either. In that case, you're essentially just the "this is fine" dog while the house burns.

Difference being, maybe you're outside the house now and safer, but you're still just outside trying to blankly share memes with neighbors like a psychopath while the house burns, unacknowledged, behind you.

Calm down, fellow kids... We can talk about it for awhile and it will naturally fade with time, as it already is on many instances.

And I left reddit because it stopped letting me watch porn. Lots of similarities here.

We need more threads about not talking about that thing that we have been talking about too much.p

15 years and it's gone. I'm in need in of therapy.

A/S/L?

Your post is the only post talking about Reddit in my feed, because I blocked the other channels. 😅

Reddit is so old news.

Bitching about Meta is the new hotness

I think that's not the same thing at all
