How many of you understand that you can be on lemmy without bringing reddit here?

Every day I see another post on lemmy about how awful reddit is. As someone who migrated during the API fiasco, I don’t know why people want to bring the grifting here. Who cares of reddit banned you for promoting lemmy? Who cares about reddits constant enshittification? None of us are on reddit anymore for those exact reasons, stop bringing their simple-minded dipshittery here. We left to be done with reddit, not to watch the fire from our balconies.

Reddit? But they’re our rivals!

We’ve reached peak irony.

I’m going to be real with you. I use Voyager which looks like Apollo to me, so half the time I don’t realize I’m not on reddit. And frankly, I don’t care. I didn’t come here to avoid reddit content. I came here to avoid reddit client and company. If the content or conversation is interesting, I don’t give 2 craps where it’s from.

I’m on both sites, if so desired I can do favors for people on either one if they’re banned from the other one. They don’t need to lament that something is left undone.

I don’t mind it at all. Let people vent and release from their old addiction. It’s happened for every migration going back to AOL.

If anything, WE can control what we see and if you’re in areas that constantly have reddit complaints maybe it’s time to curate that subscription list a bit better. Or use a Lemmy app that filters by keyword. You have the power.

Word. Its getting old fast. I just want to find Reddits replacement, a place for current and less accessable news and random funny nonsense. Not read post after post about how reddits failing or not failing. I dont care. I left.

I hope Lemmy becomes more like it, not its antagonist.

I was never on Reddit, but I was a Twitter refugee who moved to Mastodon. In the beginning almost everything was about how terrible Elon Musk was and what dumb shit was going on over there. Now there’s a lot less. Perhaps the same thing will happen with Lemmy as well.

I just have no interest in reddit anymore, I always hated the UI and now that there aren’t any third party apps I don’t want to use it. If I see a technical answer in a search sure I’ll use it, but it’s whatever. If reddit wanted to charge on a per user basis to use the API I would have understood because companies need to make money and I wasn’t seeing ads, but they chose the stupidest approach to becoming more profitable.
