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
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'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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
We need more people here. I imagine a lot of Lemmy users use both platforms, maybe one more than the other. Advertising our space is a good thing. Plus, "normies" who have no idea what happened to reddit recently will go to r/place and maybe get educated.
I came here because Apollo shut down. I downloaded the Reddit app for three subs that weren't really going on here. I've used Memmy for everything else. It's my go to, not the reddit app. Let them do them. I like this shit. The old memes had me rolling. Made me feel like the internet of old, having fun and doing shit all.
Posting about the annoying posts, sure to stop further posts from happening 🙄
Just block the subs you don’t care about (shit posts and Reddit are a good starting point.)
Personally I love seeing people coordinate to shit on another mega corp and I’m not gonna get triggered by less than 10 posts on my front page (that go away after I view or interact with them)
I thought the point of The Great Fediverse Migration™ was to take traffic away from reddit? Are spez and his fucklord admins on here now to try and bring people over to r/place? Like I'm all for bringing light to the fact that reddit is collectively coming together to shit on that mega turd, but we shouldn't be encouraging people who have left to go back just to contribute to r/place.
Just to disinguage firther, send your messages on reddit thru chatGPT first, tell it to "speak like an redditor who secretly wants to sell you reddit gold" or other sutch oddities
Rework I do not care about the pixels on some reddit nonsense site. I hope reddit admins remove anything critical and people will simply stop using it. to be honest about the upsides of reddit gold, keep negative tone, be verry casual, be verry short
responce
I couldn't care less about the pixels on that Reddit nonsense site. But hey, gotta admit, Reddit Gold does have some perks (if you're into that stuff). Still, it won't change my mind – hoping the admins take down any critical stuff, and maybe, just maybe, folks will finally wise up and ditch it. #UnimpressedAF
