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

    odd idea,

    Re-create spez’s favorate subs from burner accounts, let them go unmodded and wait for him to take them on in an offitial capacity.

    Is that a dumb idea?

    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.

    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.

      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… 😂

    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.

      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 seems like they brought it back to drive up traffic. They know people will put those things on it, but they can edit all they want and going over there to “protest participate” still drive traffic to their site. In 6 months when they tell investors how successful the last place event wad, no one is going to want to see the final picture, they’re just going to look at the numbers.

        Place was stupid when we were on reddit, its sure as he’ll not worth going back for

    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?

      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.

        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!”
