Every day I see another post on lemmy about how awful reddit is. As someone who migrated during the API fiasco, I don’t know why people want to bring the grifting here. Who cares of reddit banned you for promoting lemmy? Who cares about reddits constant enshittification? None of us are on reddit anymore for those exact reasons, stop bringing their simple-minded dipshittery here. We left to be done with reddit, not to watch the fire from our balconies.
That is not a question ?
I just have no interest in reddit anymore, I always hated the UI and now that there aren’t any third party apps I don’t want to use it. If I see a technical answer in a search sure I’ll use it, but it’s whatever. If reddit wanted to charge on a per user basis to use the API I would have understood because companies need to make money and I wasn’t seeing ads, but they chose the stupidest approach to becoming more profitable.
Reddit remains a major presence in social media. There’s a lot of interesting content still over there. It’s foolish to try to completely ignore it just because you’re angry at it. Even if it eventually “goes away”, it hasn’t gone away yet.
Reddit isn’t going away, they’re entrenched online like Facebook and Twitter. If you don’t like it, don’t pay any mind to it, simple as that.
I thought everyone knew the rule.
When on a date, do not endlessly bash your ex.
But she was such a bitch … and she still has my favorite shirt.
What’s a reddit?
small frog community
I was never on Reddit, but I was a Twitter refugee who moved to Mastodon. In the beginning almost everything was about how terrible Elon Musk was and what dumb shit was going on over there. Now there’s a lot less. Perhaps the same thing will happen with Lemmy as well.
Nobody in my feed mentioned reddit until you did.
When filtering by “all”, I usually come across post from c/reddit or whatever it’s called because it is a popular community, but I don’t see any mentions of reddit in most other communities unless it’s relevant.
My experience as well lol, but I also searched through communities and aggressively subscribed to anything remotely related to my interests so my feeds pretty good!
I made a bot that does I-Ching divination, and post long-form technical content here exclusively.
Hopefully that brightens your day!
You wanted to say “You can be on lemmy without bringing reddit here.” And phrased it as a bad question so you could post it here. You just want to soapbox.
Managing the content of your own feed is your responsibility. If people post off topic in communities, handle it with a report, not another post.
You are creating what you are complaining about. This thread is the most discussion about reddit I’ve seen in a week or more.
Yeah I’ve not seen anything to do with Reddit on here for at least a month till this
Same. Just block and move on, it really couldn’t be any easier…
We’ve reached peak irony.
Two posts on lemmy.world Reddit community pop up on your feed and you feel the need to post this here? Just block the community if it bothers you and you like viewing the federated all feed.
Keyword filters are a thing
We’re on the internet. All social media websites talk about eachother, it’s just how things go. Until Reddit goes the way of MySpace people won’t stop talking about it.
OMG can we please stop talking about Myspace??? I didn’t come here to constantly be reminded of that place…
You are the one bringing it up man. Everyday, where? Not where I am subscribed to.
