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.
It helps if you block the reddit communities. Most of the reddit meta content is there.
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. Just some flag that lemmy can work with
You came here because we need more soldiers
I’m doing my part 😂
Service means citizenship!
I just started reading that this week!
Would you like to read more?
That’s the spirit! Carry on soldier
I just came in general.
I got downvoted here because I asked why the front page is basically 50+% about Reddit. I’m so sick of hearing about reddit here, can’t users make their own content or are we just going to discuss reddit for years? so pathetic
To be fair, it’s like therapy for a breakup, and we all know who the ex is.
It’s like shared group therapy for a whole lot of people who had the same abusive ex
And unfortunately there are fresh breakups every day. So for some it’s been a while but others it’s been 24 hours.
If you are ready to move on, mess with your blocklist to remove reddit, see you first pioneer! As to venture out myself, if you find anything cool, mention me
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.
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
5 years seems like a reasonable time to be fair. One year definitely not, at least not to be meaningful anymore.
There was a lot of talk about the admins erasing stuff. My guess is they’ll ensure it doesn’t look too empty.
I’m ignoring it, though. I don’t want to give them traffic on a platform they can control. The real question is why can’t we set up something similar here?
This isn’t even originally from Reddit… It used to be called “drawball”.
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?
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.
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.
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 and all those are communities are for generalized topics.
Guy just needs to get it into his head how far-reaching federation is and maybe go for a run or something
This is Mildly Infuriating. The whole point is to complain about stuff.
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.
The complaint isn’t valid, 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?
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.
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 something in your feed? Block it or scroll on, bitching is a you problem.
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.
Do you practice being this stupid or does it come naturally?
Op isn’t trying to accomplish anything other than complaining. Trying to climb the ladder in our modern day social media culture of outrage 🙄
We all get that reddit is doing this intentionally right?
Like, all the nerds (hi it’s me) that are mad about the changes can make angry art, coordinate to really “send a message,” the event wraps up, everyone goes “wow we really did something here.” and then reddit moves on with it’s life.
/r/place is the “using change dot org to send a message to powerful people” of reddit.
/r/place is the “using change dot org to send a message to powerful people” of reddit.
I mean change dot org results in no change. This results in negative change because it’s driving traffic, boosting reddit’s numbers for the IPO.
Problem is it drives traffic and then doesmt stick, make the message unremovable or dont enguage there!
WE NEED LESS POSTS ABOUT SOLDIERS
What if we had our own r/place?
We’d need something more unique otherwise ppl would think it’s just a reddit ripoff.
Hear me out, like really, please… no really! What about !place but your makimg a GIF image, huh? Huh? /s
Honestly one thing I think our future !place needs is color blending. colors can be blended with the below color instead of replaced. A notched slider or radio button sets the blending alpha. 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%.
Hey… I’m just wondering… do we need more soldiers?
I wasn’t clear on that. Maybe one more post will clear things up.
WE HAVE TOO MANY SOLDIERS, WE NEED MORE BATTLES TO AVOID LAYOFFS!!!
That’s where bushido came from. Too many samurai, not enough battles to make them fight in, so they came up with a bunch of rules to keep them out of trouble.
Ya’ll a bunch of techy people, how has nobody here just botted this yet?
That is literally what happens every year with r/place. Hundreds of thousands of bots placing pixels based on pregenerated images. Then the bots fight each other. Then reddit uses their own bots to censor things or mod tools to drop a bunch of random pixels over the top of images to wipe them out.
Redditors agree, place looks verry genaric right now,
repost
We should stop as its a suckers game without a botnet or other shadey tactics
Just blocked the reddit@lemmy.world and my feed is soooo much better.
Really frustrating that all of those above was spammed into all of those communities.
Huge “stalking your ex” energy
More like missing your homeland after it was taken over.
Stalking your home country after your Ex was taken over? /sSorry to step on toes
There best way to stick it to spez is to not take part, it’s business as usual here
Almost do nothing, we really need to let the scammers know automod is down for the count
The goal is always, disengage to make a deserd, flood with sewage the little water left.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Then…leave if you don’t like it?
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.
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.
I absolutely don’t understand people who think the best course of action is to waste their time giving Reddit a ton of traffic to create a tiny protest on r/place that will have little impact on anything.
Im sad to think your right
