What is more mildly infuriating than reading a post complaining about someone else complaining? Adding another level!

Edit: Thanks for replying to my little joke everyone. It has been fun reading the responses. Though it seems like we have a few people that still only read and respond to the title.

Someone should definitely come up with a good rage bait title with happy rainbow stuff in the body.

No, you cannot complain about complainers complaining about complainers complaining. That's too far!

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why is this so far down - this should be at the very top!?:-)

[–] MeetInPotatoes 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Only replies to the original post will ever be at the top.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Also depends on how you sort it - the reply I replied to is top of the top sort.

[–] MeetInPotatoes 4 points 1 year ago

"Break the loop and you break the chains."

Nobody actually said that to my knowledge but putting quotes around it lends some legitimacy.

3 days from now:

Can we stop making posts to complain about posts complaining about posts complaining about posts...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

3 days from now:

The US navy detected the implosion of complain posting 3 days ago

[–] rarkgrames 5 points 1 year ago

That would be subs not posts

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Do you mean to tell me the complainposting death clock was just clickbait

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Reminds me of this.

As a digg refugee, it was the same thing on reddits early days... I think it's just part of the process.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

It's part of grieving

[–] nieceandtows 35 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Complaining about reddit is part of the process. Let them do the same thing you did when you first migrated over.

[–] PutangInaMo 8 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Yeah that'll die out, but ramping up these kinds of complaint creates a circuit where we'll get an eventually matured circle of hate.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

It's the circlllle, the circle of hate!

It's like free collective trauma-dump therapy for us recovering Reddit addicts. I can't wait for the "1 year since I dropped Reddit" kind of posts next year

I don't know, maybe a post complaining about people complaining about people complaining? Seriously though I didn't notice such posts. I've only seen level 1 of this rabbit hole so far with people complaining about Reddit users ruining their little club and that seemed to peter out mostly over the past 2 weeks.

[–] saltesc 17 points 1 year ago

Setting off "Stop replying to the email chain everyone!" vibes.

[–] Boggy 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What’s more infuriating that a post complaining about someone else complaining? Probably one complaining about a post complaining about someone else complaining.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Are you complaining about those complaining about the people who complain about the Redditors complaining about Reddit?

[–] jennwiththesea 14 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Complaining about the complainers complaining... So Meta...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can we stop making posts complaining about people complaining about complaining?!

[–] A_Random_Idiot 5 points 1 year ago

Can we stop making posts complaining about the people complaining about the complaining about the complaining?

[–] justlookingfordragon 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Keep perspective in mind: it might be the 247st post complaining about reddit that YOU read, as you've been here longer than the newbies. But for the newbie that just now arrived here it's literally one of the first things they will post, they have NOT read the other posts yet and might not even know yet how to navigate the site properly to even find said posts. Just let them vent a bit, ok? It will get better on its own.

Imagine if it was pouring outside and you want to meet with friends, you're a bit late and soaked and p*ssed about the whole situation, but you finally make it and the first thing you say is; "Maaan, what a f[$%&] weather out there!" and then someone gets angry at you; "Yes we know FFS, the last eight people that arrived said the same!" ...would you feel welcome then?

Can we please stop making posts to complain about slightly less new users complaining about new users complaining about Reddit??

[–] BendyLemmy 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

But what about the new users who complain about the slightly less new users, who might simply be slightly older ex-Reddit users who wish to complain?

What about people who complain only about subreddits like r/donut - should they not, instead, complain about the hole thing?

Stop trying to stack overflow the fediverse, please.

Thanks for saying it before I had to. You can really tell this is Reddit's successor by the complaintception.

[–] OCATMBBL 7 points 1 year ago

It appeals to a broad group of new users, and Lemmy needs posts. I think it's ok for a few days or even weeks. It's topical - people are going to talk about something important to them. To tell them to shut up, and/or to shove it makes them feel unwelcome, which is counter to the growth Lemmy needs.

Sometimes it's ok to be annoyed by something, but to recognize it's worth to others.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago
[–] BendyLemmy 6 points 1 year ago

I'm considering a new tack, to make posts complaining about people who complain about posts about people complaining about Reddit.

Do you think it will catch on?

[–] tripledd 5 points 1 year ago

As long as everyone has something to complain about, I think we're in a pretty good spot.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The meta on this is getting out of control.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'm So Meta Even This Acronym

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Ok, but only if I get to make the next post that complains about people complaining about people who complain about Reddit. Or...something.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fully agree! Let's focus on posts complaining about posts complaining about users complaining about Reddit instead ;-)

I'll make a single exception for this post, as it's complaining about the people complaining. But if I hear someone complain about someone complaining about someone complaining, then so help me.

Yeah seriously. Lemmy is 1/2 people that got booted from Reddit and miss it like an ex lol

[–] acunasdaddy 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So I spend 3+ hours a day on a website for 15 years and then just forget about it in a week? Okay

Is this like the recursive centaur (half horse, half recursive centaur) except with complains?
