Every other post is about that site.
It’s like getting a new girlfriend but constantly talking about your ex.
Reddit’s downfall is a major disruption in the internet, of course everyone is going to talk about it, especially considering most of us are coming from there. Chill, bro!
Furthermore we want to make Lemmy better and that includes learning from reddit - what should be the same, what should be changed and what should be added/removed/be like reddit “used to be” etc. It’s a software project not a summer flirt.
We still talk far too much about it, though. For example, I posted about a breakthrough in Alzheimer’s research yesterday. In what world do Reddit’s issues justify one hundred times the coverage of that breakthrough?
Because reddit never has operated that way. Posts aren’t news. Posts are things on people’s minds. Opinions will always outnumber events. Especially when those events may not have a big impact on their lives. And to be honest, I see more complaints about “let’s not discuss reddit” than I do discussing reddit. My guess is you’re confusing the amount of content that gets posted to your instance. It’s not nearly as much as reddit so you’ll see all the low voted content just as often. That content never makes it to other instances though. So it’s not so much a Lemmy problem, but a lemmy.world problem is my guess.
I am very chill my friends.
Just exercising my right to express myself. If that goes against what you believe it doesn’t mean that I’m mad or vexed.
You think my reply goes against your believe in the freedom of expressing yourself? Lol, I think I’ll have to say it again: Chill, bro!
Arguably one of the most important sites too. People had accounts for week over a decade, they’re rightly pissed when a place you used to love turns to shit because some dropkick CEO wants to pump his upcoming IPO
Yup. It was very different back around 2011 when I made my account.
It was a hard first month not going there but I’m pretty over it now.
Fine, I’ll stop talking about 9gag. Sheesh.
hey guys stop talking about the thing that i just made a post about but won’t name and therefore is not about that thing that i’m complaining about.
if you want to see better content, create it. you’re making it worse by posting about it yourself.
Akin to saying the same thing a third of the commenters said.
I sincerely wish people would use the block feature, rather than keep making threads complaining about content/communities they don’t like to see.
I have done that but I am still allowed to have a discussion.
Some people made some valid points against my sentiment, I would not have gotten that had I not posted.
For me it’s important to see opposing views, otherwise what’s the point.
“I am going to create a discussion about a thing I would like people to stop discussing”
Except OP is starting a meta discussion about Reddit discussions, not a direct discussion about Reddit. I don’t necessarily agree with OP, but you’ve crafted an artificial contradiction using a false equivalence. I’d be happier if we left the Reddit-tier logic back where it belongs.
