Why are we copying over so much Reddit content? (self.reddit)

I think it's great that so many people want to build and grow Lemmy, but why are we doing it by copying over Reddit content? It didn't seem as bad when it was funny pics or memes or whatever, but now I'm seeing discussion threads, which doesn't make sense to me.

I can kind of see it if a Reddit mod decides to move their forum from there to here, and wants to start with their existing content, but otherwise I'm not sure this is a good thing.

What do you guys think?

Leaving Reddit was a bad breakup for a lot of us. Like leaving an Ex that used to beat you all the time, but you don't want to go

Me too. But because it was an ugly breakup, I don't want my new girlfriend to look and act just like the ex.

So it's entirely fair to take all our clothes and furniture and appliances and the carpets and light fixtures and wallpaper along with us when we split up. We paid for all that in the first place, after all.

You're more right than I'd like to admit
