Better than that dude that spammed the whole fuckin community about chrome the other day

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago (2 children)

In the future everything is chrome

The only acceptable way to use chrome.

Posts about reddit...

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Sick of Reddit comments...

Comments about Reddit...

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

The level of user sense of humor in these comments is a lot like reddit, too!

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

Been there, done that.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Reddit, X/Twitter, Facebook... I'm here to get away from all of those.

Lemmy, Kbin, Mastodon and the rest of the Fediverse doesn't have to exist in contrast to other social media.

It can just be.

There's a couple communities that I have blocked perky because they're importing posts from reddit. Not screenshots, but years to decades old posts that are archived. All the power to you to waste your server space, but do it quietly.

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

I just joined lemme.ee today and just saw that..smh.

Why are they doing that? I think it was r/games or something. Just lots and lots of automated posts....what's the point? It just seems to destroy the chance of community and engagement if it's just doing that. What's the strategy that I'm not understanding?

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

I think it’s to spark discussion among users

For me all those bot accounts got annoying quick so I disabled them

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

The irony is they always seem to have 0 comments lol, so much for sparking discussion.

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

You should do that on a server you control so you can set timestamps and all correctly while importing directly to the DB, not just automate posting of it all

Funny thing is... I posted one of these on Bluesky.

Leave twitter to escape Elon, go to Bluesky

Look inside

Elon

Reminder: Posting about posting about Reddit is still posting about Reddit.

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

And much more annoying since most of the posts about Reddit at least have some sort of substance beyond the mention itself..

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

you are contributing to the problem

[–] motorheadkusanagi 15 points 1 year ago

does this count as a post about reddit? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

A LITTLE late? "Stop talking about Reddit" has consistently been the number one most common post category here since the July exodus.

They're becoming MUCH more common and indeed much more of a nuisance than the excessive talk about Reddit they're complaining about. Sorta like all the self-appointed repost detectives of both Reddit and here.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh look, another post about Reddit…

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

It's true, I'm a part of the problem. At least I'm not the whole problem.

[–] money_loo 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Now go make a post about Elon Musk to keep the ball rolling.

Just need to post on Briar and scuttlebutt too and you've got them all, lol

(Funny seeing another bsky user in the wild, btw)

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am downvoting this post about reddit because you don’t like it, op.

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

I encourage this

[–] ren 11 points 1 year ago

Subscribe to better communities lol. I don’t see Reddit shit except posts like this.

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

I’m very impressed with startrek.website. The community appears to me to have completely forgotten about Reddit altogether.

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

As punctual as the Deutsche Bahn

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

Thanks, my first post about reddit today

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Most people that post about Reddit are newcomers that are frustrated with the old platform and just want to vent. Posts like that are often their first ones: you should just let them vent a little and welcome them, instead of stifling them immediatly.
That's how you get a steady flow of new users.

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

I see this as an absolut win. Why? Because people who transists over time has the old rotten platform and their anger/reasons of migrating to us at their minds.

No posts about Elon and fuckspez, means no transition anymore.

I come here to not think about reddit.. not to read posts about reddit.
