      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.

        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.

      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.

        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.

      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?

    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… 😂

      Accepting that is counterproductive to making Lemmy a worthwhile space that will continue existing though.

      Keeping people around requires being more than just “not reddit”. It requires Lemmy to be a community of people that actually create value in and of themselves. Until they reject just being a secondary reddit and be lemmy the space will not mature and come into its own. It will remain a space that just takes content from reddit and rehosts it, one that follows rather than leads.

        It really sucks that we are still detatching. however, people are moving things off of reddit rather than meerly reposting (copying) things, only the creators and mods have that ability.

        For the question of why are we linking to reddit so mutch, it is a unique culture that cares about ravishing reddit. After that I dont know where we will be.

        My most passionate subreddit was tiny but still somhow full of corperate scam artists, the corrisponding lemmy community is free of that BS but only has 5 members

    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.

      I don’t care about it as long as it’s not driving traffic. I like keeping up with Reddits slow descent into madness, and I like that I don’t have to give Reddit traffic to do so. I doubt I am alone in that sentiment given the amount of upvotes and posts related to such topics.

        Oh trust me, I understand there is something about watching their descent into madness. I wouldn’t be subscribed here if I didn’t want to see it. I was more pointing out that it’s like when people would Facebook stalk their ex. Like sure you aren’t interacting with them directly in any way but the only way to fully move on is to drop the morbid curiosity. (Again, I’m also subscribed here watching the dumpster fire)

      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.

    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.
