I spent 10 years with that site. I’ve put so much content on it. I’ve put up with all of spez’s shit at every turn, I’ve watched the site slowly turn into Facebook and shouted my displeasure at a brick wall, I’ve watched the admins ignore literally every criticism and request for years, and now, finally, their bullshit has come back to harm them. They’ve been sheltered from fallout of their decisions for so long, this is a long overdue comeuppance.
Watching it burn is cathartic. I’m absolutely not done enjoying the fireworks. Keep it coming.
Okay, sure, but what about venting in a community that is intended to be about Reddit, not a community that is intended to be about something other than Reddit?
During the Digg migration, people were venting about Reddit for a long time until Digg became irrelevant. There’s just not going to be a clean separation here.
I completely agree. I was actually surprised at first about how much I cared about Reddit dying but then I thought about how much time I had spent on it and how different my life was before.
I’m obviously looking forward to kbin/fediverse growing (and genuinely believe it can provide some solutions to the issues we ran into with Reddit) but right now I think I’m still gonna need to see Reddit burn down for their decisions and constant ignoring of their long term userbase.
This is how it is at the start of any fediverse alternative, I remember mastodon being all about how Elon is running Twitter into the ground, but now it’s its own community.
Give it time and it will pass, people are still rightfully pissed off at the admins and enjoying a bit of schadenfreude.
Yeah I am. I know there’s a way to filter out keywords and I’d do that but I would still like to hear of any major developments. I just don’t want to hear the same stories repeated over and over again
A little bit, yeah. I just decided to sign up on kbin social the other day to check it out. I am liking it so far, and am a bit new to the whole fediverse thing.
Anyone else tired of every other fediverse post being about how bad Reddit is ?
Honestly?
No. Not really.

Yeah, I’m completely fine with venting, especially while this is an ongoing situation.

That’s fine but it needs to happen in the appropriate place. c/reddit is the best place for it. c/lemmy.world is for discussing this instance
You sound like a GitHub mod.

@couragethecowardlydog Yes, but it’s a top non-politic internet story, and on literally everyone’s mind who just jumped ship to kbin/lemmy.
And as strange as it is to say, people are also grieving for a loss. Reddit has been a daily addiction for many of us for a decade.
OP could have posted this in

Be the change you want to see :)
yes
[email protected] posts are taken over by these Reddit posts. lol
Indeed. Our focus should be generating content here, not complaining about Reddit.
