There’s less Reddit meta content on Reddit, why did I come here?

You’re not alone in giving a grand total of zero shits about reddit at this point.
Show threaddampfnudelJul 21, 2023
It helps if you block the reddit communities. Most of the reddit meta content is there.
Show threadMonkeyhogJul 21, 2023
I’ve blocked most of them, And anyone that posts whiny reddit posts, or all of those damned reddit repost bots. It makes things nicer

I saw one called “nosleep”, likely by other names too, I wish they would add universal prefixes to names or use a deticated instance to host it,

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?

Show threadfinnJul 21, 2023

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.

Show threadHillockJul 21, 2023
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.
Show threadNepentheJul 21, 2023
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. Guy just needs to get it into his head how far-reaching federation is and maybe go for a run or something
Show threadPapaStevesyJul 21, 2023

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.

Show threadLanthanaeJul 21, 2023

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.

Dude thinks that a valid complaint about an annoyance validates the annoyance. It’s an ages old internet trope. Similar to the “I won because you don’t respond to me anymore!”

Show threadPrataiJul 21, 2023

Ahh. The ol’ bitching about bitching response. This would be so much more effective had it not been pointed out long ago that this is also effectively bitching.

Thus the loop can never be broken.

You see… You’re bitching about bitching about bitching. So either you admit to being just as obnoxious, or you admit that a valid complaint about an annoyance- doesn’t validate the annoyance.

Show threadCabrioJul 21, 2023
The annoyance isn’t validated, you ignore a thousand stupid things you don’t care for on the Internet every day and have the tools and capacity to ignore this one too, so why not ignore it instead of bitching about a solved problem?
Show threadPrataiJul 21, 2023

Sorry, I don’t see any solved problems here. All I saw was someone bitching about someone bitching about someone bitching- which is essentially highly hypocritical.

We can agree to disagree and both move on. We said what we felt the need to.

Show threadCabrioJul 21, 2023

Of course you don’t, the lack the capacity to see past your ego dangling in front of your eyes.

Don’t want to see so. Thing in your feed? Block it or scroll on, bitching is a you problem.

Show threadPrataiJul 21, 2023
That must have been a lot of fun for you to write out. Feel better now? I’m sure I would if bitching about things was something that got me off.

Op isn’t trying to accomplish anything other than complaining. Trying to climb the ladder in our modern day social media culture of outrage 🙄
Show threadTylerdurdonJul 21, 2023
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.
Show threadNepentheJul 21, 2023
Idunno. I'm mildly annoyed with the crossposting spam, but not surprised at the behavior. The internet has lent itself incredibly well to tribalism ever since its widespread adoption, so there's always going to be some amount of "New platform is my god, old platform suck roach testicles." I just hope it does die down instead of being a running undercurrent here like Spez married into the kardashians.
Show threadcouragethebravedogJul 21, 2023
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.
Show threadBurtReynoldsMustacheJul 21, 2023
Then…leave if you don’t like it?
Show threadBlack_GulamanJul 21, 2023

absolutely correct. unfortunately the higher median age does not translate to higher emotional qoutent.

Like a child holding unto a grudge that all the other people who are involved has already forgotten and moved on.

Show threadstopthatgirl7Jul 21, 2023
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.
Show threadnicetriangleJul 21, 2023
Yeah Digg remained a huge topic on Reddit when the migration was happening and we're currently in the thick of Reddit's decline and hopefully the start of a real exodus. So unfortunately this is just how people are gonna behave for a while.

Pineapplelover has been spamming this all over lemmy. Wonder if he realizes there’s no karma here.

Yea seriously, for people supposedly wanting to leave Reddit they sure seem intent on giving it tons of traffic
Show threadCabrioJul 21, 2023
Forced to leave reddit is not the same as wanting too.
Show threadBlack_GulamanJul 21, 2023
they were not forced, they had a choice. they could have given in to peer pressure or have followed others like a sheep into lemmy, but no one forced them.
Show threadJJROKCZJul 21, 2023

No one was forced to leave Reddit. They didn’t say you couldn’t use their site, they just said you had to use their app to do so and you CHOSE not to.

Now I clearly support that decision since I made the same one myself but don’t act like it wasn’t a decision we made.

Show threadCabrioJul 21, 2023
Turning the place into a capitalist shithole forced me to leave when the only way I accessed the site for 13 years disappeared. That was not my choice. But you know that because you’re disingenuous, not stupid, right?
Show threadJJROKCZJul 21, 2023

Again, you were not forced, an option for access was taken but you were not forbidden from visiting Reddit, they still provided ways for you to access, you CHOSE not to use them and to go elsewhere for your social media.

Someone is being disingenuous here but it isn’t me

Show threadCabrioJul 21, 2023

When the content of the site changes due to action of the administration that removes access to the content that was previously consumed that is not a choice of the user.

You’re right, you’re not being disingenuous, you’re being the other option, stupid.

Show threadJJROKCZJul 21, 2023
Lol the access wasn’t removed, your account is still there, the content is still there, you can go use your account and consume the content right now if you CHOSE to do so. But instead you CHOSE to not use the tools and account available to you and CHOSE to make an account here and call people names here.

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.

I thought the point of The Great Fediverse Migration™ was to take traffic away from reddit? Are spez and his fucklord admins on here now to try and bring people over to r/place? Like I’m all for bringing light to the fact that reddit is collectively coming together to shit on that mega turd, but we shouldn’t be encouraging people who have left to go back just to contribute to r/place.

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.
