There isn't much OC in Reddit posts. It's strength has always been as an aggregator with community discussions. I think repost the original sources but not the Reddit links.

Eventually our technology and civilisation will surpass them and we will have to consider if they have achieved the required maturity to join our Federation. Until then we should observe and keep our presence secret.

We must be compassionate to our lost brothers and sisters, and guide them gently to the light of federation.

Civilly? I deleted my reddit account but I really don't feel aggrieved by people who stayed there.

Shall we embrace crossposting? -- Absolutely. Most content on Reddit is crossposted from god knows where. It's how sites like this work. EDIT: Content, not straightup full posts.

Shall we have links in our bios? -- Depends. I certainly won't-

Advocacy? -- I was never active enough over there to speak to that, but... up to you. I'm waiting to hear that speaking of alternatives has become a bannable offence.

Ignore?

-- I think that's wrong. See 1 as for why.

I’m not going back to reddit so “interacting” for me will be limited to if they come here

I bear ongoing users no ill will, I’ve just already deleted my account and I’m just not going to support reddit by using it anymore even as a lurker

Ever go on a date with someone and all they talk about is their ex?

One of the most annoying things about Mastodon during the Twitter migration at the beginning of this year was that the only thing Mastodon wanted to talk about was "the Birdsite."

It sure would be nice if we could get through that phase of the Reddit migration at a vastly accelerated pace.

Regardless of how everyone feels about Discovery, remember how the crew had to leave behind all their families, friends, and loved ones for the greater good when they were flung 1000 years into the future? I think that's us.

Are we the Romulans or are we the Vulcans?

Reddit feels like addiction to me, while the fediverse feels exciting and like I’m having real conversations with people.

I have popped on to Reddit a couple of times to help with a couple of subs I’m a part of but god it’s just trash over there to me now…I really don’t want to be there. I deeply resent what they’ve done to it over time.

I've taken the new reddit direction as a challenge to the users to see how much trouble we can cause.

First to the Key!

Post on fediverse first, then screenshot it and share with other socials saying it's from lemmy or wherever in the headline. Maybe even say which community it's from. And it could be a watermark of some kind too.

The more people are aware of the fediverse communities, the more they might check it out and just leave reddit entirely.

I am going to keep my reddit for the time being but try to see how I can go with using purely Lemmy, and learning how it all works.

If it becomes appropriate to mention in subreddits that this is a viable alternative, or there is already a parallel server, then I don't think there's harm in letting people know and letting them decide, I won't however be blatantly advertising it

They are all dead to me.

I would at least give it some time. currently I don't want to give Reddit any traffic

Personally, my goal is to set aside the time to post or comment on the most interesting, informative, helpful tutorials that cannot be found here. To scrape reddit data via RSS and if it's interesting and not on lemmy or kbin see that it is mirrored here, so that it has the same plus more content. Getting lemmy and kbin results to show up in search results. If there is a way to improve the webui I would like to be part of it, if not the development part then at least the conversation. I'd donate $$s to make this place look and feel better than it does.

But posting on reddit...I had already stopped or reduced posting due to how often I was downvoted for not following the grain, or my replies not showing up or being deleted automatically. Some forums telling me I could not vote because my karma was too low but karma always getting deducted because I didn't think the same way as the majority subreddit. Here is the first time where I haven't been less afraid to speak...where I can be upvoted/downvoted and it doesn't even matter. Reddit is dead to me, and I will never cross-post interesting information to it except to say come join us in developing an alternative - and I can't even be bothered to do that.

We should copy content from reddit, but label it "repost from 4chan", so they have to try to crawl 4chan archives to see if the content was actually first posted on Reddit

make it expensive for them to claim ownership of UGC

I think it should just be a personal choice. If you want to interact and reference reddit, great. If you want to stay off reddit, great.

Personally I'll be staying here and not going back to Reddit. I'd been winding down my use of Reddit recently anyway so the blackout was just the little push I needed to delete my account.
