Sure would be nice to foster new niche communities on Lemmy instead of talking about our obnoxious ex-platform
My NFL team last year gave up its franchise quarterback, and the subreddit basically only talked about the former QB for the entire preseason, and then still talked about it for half the season. Then it died down. And before the protest, he wasn't really talked about all that much.
Reddit is still fresh in people's minds. It will go away. In the early days of reddit a LOT of people talked about digg, but within a few months it just wasn't mentioned much anymore.
A lot of people here spent years on our ex-platform. It's going to take some time to get that out of our system. In the meantime, enjoy the shadenfreude!
Fair points, and outstanding analogy
