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

[–] gabe@literature.cafe 26 points 1 year ago (2 children)

In the future everything is chrome

[–] littlecolt@lemm.ee 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] SomeBoyo@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The only acceptable way to use chrome.

Sick of reddit posts...

Posts about reddit...

[–] Andrew15_5@mander.xyz 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Sick of Reddit comments...

Comments about Reddit...

[–] littlecolt@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Andrew15_5@mander.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Been there, done that.

[–] whaleross@kbin.social 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.

[–] nacho@lemm.ee 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?

[–] FlihpFlorp@lemm.ee 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

[–] einsteinx2@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Natanael@slrpnk.net 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

[–] littlecolt@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

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

Leave twitter to escape Elon, go to Bluesky

Look inside

Elon

[–] Ganbat@lemmyonline.com 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 7 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..

[–] shinysquirrel@lemmy.ml 23 points 1 year ago

you are contributing to the problem

[–] motorheadkusanagi@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

does this count as a post about reddit? 🤔

[–] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh look, another post about Reddit…

[–] littlecolt@lemm.ee 3 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@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] littlecolt@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Natanael@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago

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)

[–] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 15 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.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] littlecolt@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

I encourage this

[–] ren@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

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

[–] YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Thanks, my first post about reddit today

[–] pH3ra@lemmy.ml 7 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.

[–] SaltyIceteaMaker@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

As punctual as the Deutsche Bahn

[–] somas@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

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

Lemmy sometimes feels like cult. Yes, I am here because Reddit went to shit. Yes, I want Reddit alternative, but being made fun of people who want it to be like Reddit is just ridiculous.

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

This time you're the post about reddit!

[–] Samsy@lemmy.ml 4 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.

[–] AutumnSpark1226@lemmy.today 3 points 1 year ago

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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