You're not alone in giving a grand total of zero shits about reddit at this point.

[–] [email protected] 151 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I got downvoted here because I asked why the front page is basically 50+% about Reddit. I'm so sick of hearing about reddit here, can't users make their own content or are we just going to discuss reddit for years? so pathetic

To be fair, it’s like therapy for a breakup, and we all know who the ex is.

[–] [email protected] 55 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's like shared group therapy for a whole lot of people who had the same abusive ex

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

And unfortunately there are fresh breakups every day. So for some it's been a while but others it's been 24 hours.

Reddit was the same way after the Digg migration. Everyone was talking about Digg for a while. Over time, Digg mentions became more and more rare.

The wall of fucking spez is finmy, but I find it FAR funnier to see how something that was one of reddit's most popular things ever just a few months ago is NOTICABLY less popular. All of the biggest communities that were represented on the drawing earlier this year are nowhere to be seen. All that's left this time around is just random disconnected drawings and massive flags. The soul is gone.

So yeah, stop fucking spamming the canvas and just let it be empty and soulless. It sends a bigger message.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They were stupid to bring it back anyways, it only succeeded the second time because enough time had passed for the people that remembered it and there were plenty of new people to participate. This time neither is true

It's one misguided poster spamming the shit out of a bunch of instances, but this post itself seems to imply a more widespread problem.

What are you trying to achieve with this post? Would you like to spark conversation about this particular person's crusade ? Or are you the umpteenth poster this month complaining about content referencing Reddit?

Honestly, the bitching about the bitching about Reddit is becoming pretty fucking tiresome, imho. Why are we talking about this? Why did you make this post? Why not just downvote that asshat's content and move on? It doesn't contribute, you allegedly don't care, why post to complain about complaints?

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But super-honestly, the bitching about the bitching about the bitching is worse. Why did you make this comment? Why not just downvote that asshat's content and move on? It doesn't contribute, you allegedly don't care, why comment to complain about complaints about complaints?

We can do this as many times as you'd like, you still won't have made a point.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago (8 children)

Ok but even more super-honestly, the bitching about the bitching about the bitching about the bitching is worse. Why did you make this comment? Why not just downvote that asshat's content about that other asshat's content and move on? It doesn't contribute, so why comment to complain about complaints about complaints about complaints?

We should not do this as any more times probably....also google en passant.

I get it - complaints about complaints, the 'Inception' of discourse, right? 😄 My aim was less 'moan-fest', more 'awareness-raising'. But I see how it could have come off as one more tiresome rant. Point taken.

Downvoting? Sure, it's a tool, but it feels like trying to empty an ocean with a bucket. As a community, can't we aim higher? Maybe introduce more efficient levers? Let's not just 'downvote and move on', let's 'upvote and move up'. Let's brainstorm and pull this platform to greater heights.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

Just block the account that made the posts. It's a single account so it takes 5 seconds to get rid of it all. It's what I did.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Not to mention, as long as the post in question is in a relevant community, downvoting it out of annoyance feels weird to me. That is not what the buttons are for. I've seen several posts I didn't personally like, but not wanting to see them doesn't make them worthless to anyone else and all those are communities are for generalized topics.

Guy just needs to get it into his head how far-reaching federation is and maybe go for a run or something

Super annoying but a great time to bring up Lemmy's crossposting feature! If the image is hosted nonlocally and posted separately, Lemmy can automatically combine the posts and show it as crosspost links. Seems like this feature should work for local media as well but does not seem to in this case. Now this could be user error or this may be a place that the feature can be improved.

I guess a big Chuck of lemmy users come from reddit. Not because they actively chose lemmy, but because reddit became unbearable for them.

They will oft course generate a lot of content about reddit, since they are getting through a rough "breakup Phase".

I would love to see more acceptance for that, maybe then the ex redditors will like it here more.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (6 children)

The problem I'm seeing lately is that a lot of folks are bringing some of the things that were already unbearable about reddit with them...

Like "based", "this", "underrated comment", etc... So much stupid lazy garbage.

Edit: to OP... The "this" referenced in my comment was not directed at your title (hilariously enough)... I only meant that one as a one word comment reply and didn't even realize that was your title when I commented... 😂

At least there's no gold to thank kind strangers for on Lemmy.

We all get that reddit is doing this intentionally right?

Like, all the nerds (hi it's me) that are mad about the changes can make angry art, coordinate to really "send a message," the event wraps up, everyone goes "wow we really did something here." and then reddit moves on with it's life.

/r/place is the "using change dot org to send a message to powerful people" of reddit.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (3 children)

/r/place is the “using change dot org to send a message to powerful people” of reddit.

I mean change dot org results in no change. This results in negative change because it's driving traffic, boosting reddit's numbers for the IPO.

Honestly I’ve heard more about spez and Reddit on the fediverse than I ever did on Reddit itself. The best way for us to move on is to actually move on.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't care about it as long as it's not driving traffic. I like keeping up with Reddits slow descent into madness, and I like that I don't have to give Reddit traffic to do so. I doubt I am alone in that sentiment given the amount of upvotes and posts related to such topics.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Oh trust me, I understand there is something about watching their descent into madness. I wouldn’t be subscribed here if I didn’t want to see it. I was more pointing out that it’s like when people would Facebook stalk their ex. Like sure you aren’t interacting with them directly in any way but the only way to fully move on is to drop the morbid curiosity. (Again, I’m also subscribed here watching the dumpster fire)

Ya'll a bunch of techy people, how has nobody here just botted this yet?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That is literally what happens every year with r/place. Hundreds of thousands of bots placing pixels based on pregenerated images. Then the bots fight each other. Then reddit uses their own bots to censor things or mod tools to drop a bunch of random pixels over the top of images to wipe them out.

Honestly, you’ve just got to wait until people get it out of their system, and folks do that at different speeds. It was the same thing on Mastodon for a while, after the big Twitter Migrations. People were still salty and up in their feels about Twitter, and were posting about it. People who had been on Mastodon for longer got fed up quickly with all the twitter posts. But they tapered off. The same will happen here.

I'm surprised a bit because this place has a higher median age. At this point, that kind of stuff seems super childish to me, and I'm not trying to have this become the v2 of what was over there. There was SO much echo chamber junk going on there that's it's nice to open a topic here and have great diversity in opinion and thought. I'm looking forward to hearing less about Reddit on here, but understand it will take some time for people to either get over it or go back.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I want lemmy to have a hacker news mentality on posts and comments. Only post something if it will help continue a discussion. In the beginning that's mostly what it was and it was great. Now it's turning into Reddit V2. If that's what people want then it's fine, I just thought it'd be more like old Reddit where we only upvote content that added to a discussion.

I absolutely don't understand people who think the best course of action is to waste their time giving Reddit a ton of traffic to create a tiny protest on r/place that will have little impact on anything.

We need more people here. I imagine a lot of Lemmy users use both platforms, maybe one more than the other. Advertising our space is a good thing. Plus, "normies" who have no idea what happened to reddit recently will go to r/place and maybe get educated.

I came here because Apollo shut down. I downloaded the Reddit app for three subs that weren't really going on here. I've used Memmy for everything else. It's my go to, not the reddit app. Let them do them. I like this shit. The old memes had me rolling. Made me feel like the internet of old, having fun and doing shit all.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I feel like saying that Lemmy isn't your personal army

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

We need to create our own Pixel games on Lemmy. On every server. With blackjack and hookers

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I do not care about the pixels on some reddit nonsense site. I hope reddit admins remove anything critical and people will simply stop using it.
