Honestly?
No. Not really.
I spent 10 years with that site. I've put so much content on it. I've put up with all of spez's shit at every turn, I've watched the site slowly turn into Facebook and shouted my displeasure at a brick wall, I've watched the admins ignore literally every criticism and request for years, and now, finally, their bullshit has come back to harm them. They've been sheltered from fallout of their decisions for so long, this is a long overdue comeuppance.
Watching it burn is cathartic. I'm absolutely not done enjoying the fireworks. Keep it coming.
Yeah, I'm completely fine with venting, especially while this is an ongoing situation.
Okay, sure, but what about venting in a community that is intended to be about Reddit, not a community that is intended to be about something other than Reddit?
During the Digg migration, people were venting about Reddit for a long time until Digg became irrelevant. There's just not going to be a clean separation here.
That's fine but it needs to happen in the appropriate place. c/reddit is the best place for it. c/lemmy.world is for discussing this instance
You sound like a GitHub mod.
I completely agree. I was actually surprised at first about how much I cared about Reddit dying but then I thought about how much time I had spent on it and how different my life was before.
I'm obviously looking forward to kbin/fediverse growing (and genuinely believe it can provide some solutions to the issues we ran into with Reddit) but right now I think I'm still gonna need to see Reddit burn down for their decisions and constant ignoring of their long term userbase.
This is how it is at the start of any fediverse alternative, I remember mastodon being all about how Elon is running Twitter into the ground, but now itβs its own community.
Give it time and it will pass, people are still rightfully pissed off at the admins and enjoying a bit of schadenfreude.
@couragethecowardlydog Yes, but it's a top non-politic internet story, and on literally everyone's mind who just jumped ship to kbin/lemmy.
And as strange as it is to say, people are also grieving for a loss. Reddit has been a daily addiction for many of us for a decade.
OP could have posted this in [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]), [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]) or even [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]).
Yeah I am. I know there's a way to filter out keywords and I'd do that but I would still like to hear of any major developments. I just don't want to hear the same stories repeated over and over again
A little bit, yeah. I just decided to sign up on kbin social the other day to check it out. I am liking it so far, and am a bit new to the whole fediverse thing.
Be the change you want to see :)
yes
Indeed. Our focus should be generating content here, not complaining about Reddit.
With who?
With who, Steve?
If you had anyone to replace them with you would have done it Monday. You spent the last week scraping the barrel to find replacements.
Do it. Watch what happens when your new recruits can't cut it.
βDumpster fireβ a term that has described reddit for quite some time now
Enjoying the Reddit self-destruction but the content doesn't have much with the lemmy.world server. Maybe post to [email protected], [email protected] or [email protected]?
So they're threatening to do work themselves instead of depending on people to do it for free? Next they'll have the interns making the cat memes for adviceanimals.
Replace them with whom exactly? I'm sure that bringing people that want to mod in these conditions is a nice idea, I'm sure they'll worry about the users and won't powertrip at all
I bet Spez called his Dad to wish him a Happy Father's Day, and his Dad just hung up on him.
Steve Huffman is such a slimy piece of shit lol
With whom? Only people to do it for free are abusive powermods who won't have time to mod all these huge subreddits.
Ah well. Not my problem. I'm enjoying my communities popping up here (well, mostly. Still some to go.) I want my /m/ or /c/geologymemes.
I donβt care I am quitting Reddit
Lol, reddit is trash and its' moderators are also trash. Both can be true.
