If I go to Reddit in order to tell everyone how great Lemmy is, that’s like going back to my X and talking about how great my new SO is. Sounds like a pretty psycho move IMO when I think about it.

And yet here you are, doing just that.

But my ex was really crazy. You gotta hear this!

Yet here you are posting about lol

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

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

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

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.

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

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 :)

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.

r*ddit

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

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 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?

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

It's a form of therapy

A/S/L?

Yo dawg I heard you liked bitchin about people bitching about reddit in your bitchin about reddit...

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

Reddit is so old news.

Bitching about Meta is the new hotness
