There’s less Reddit meta content on Reddit, why did I come here?

        I’ve blocked most of them, And anyone that posts whiny reddit posts, or all of those damned reddit repost bots. It makes things nicer

          I saw one called “nosleep”, likely by other names too, I wish they would add universal prefixes to names or use a deticated instance to host it. Just some flag that lemmy can work with

    I got downvoted here because I asked why the front page is basically 50+% about Reddit. I’m so sick of hearing about reddit here, can’t users make their own content or are we just going to discuss reddit for years? so pathetic

      Reddit was the same way after the Digg migration. Everyone was talking about Digg for a while. Over time, Digg mentions became more and more rare.

    It’s one misguided poster spamming the shit out of a bunch of instances, but this post itself seems to imply a more widespread problem.

    What are you trying to achieve with this post? Would you like to spark conversation about this particular person’s crusade ? Or are you the umpteenth poster this month complaining about content referencing Reddit?

    Honestly, the bitching about the bitching about Reddit is becoming pretty fucking tiresome, imho. Why are we talking about this? Why did you make this post? Why not just downvote that asshat’s content and move on? It doesn’t contribute, you allegedly don’t care, why post to complain about complaints?

      Ahh. The ol’ bitching about bitching response. This would be so much more effective had it not been pointed out long ago that this is also effectively bitching.

      Thus the loop can never be broken.

      You see… You’re bitching about bitching about bitching. So either you admit to being just as obnoxious, or you admit that a valid complaint about an annoyance- doesn’t validate the annoyance.

        The complaint isn’t valid, you ignore a thousand stupid things you don’t care for on the Internet every day and have the tools and capacity to ignore this one too, so why not ignore it instead of bitching about a solved problem?

          Sorry, I don’t see any solved problems here. All I saw was someone bitching about someone bitching about someone bitching- which is essentially highly hypocritical.

          We can agree to disagree and both move on. We said what we felt the need to.

            Of course you don’t, the lack the capacity to see past your ego dangling in front of your eyes.

            Don’t want to see something in your feed? Block it or scroll on, bitching is a you problem.

              That must have been a lot of fun for you to write out. Feel better now? I’m sure I would if bitching about things was something that got me off.

      But super-honestly, the bitching about the bitching about the bitching is worse. Why did you make this comment? Why not just downvote that asshat’s content and move on? It doesn’t contribute, you allegedly don’t care, why comment to complain about complaints about complaints?

      We can do this as many times as you’d like, you still won’t have made a point.

        Ok but even more super-honestly, the bitching about the bitching about the bitching about the bitching is worse. Why did you make this comment? Why not just downvote that asshat’s content about that other asshat’s content and move on? It doesn’t contribute, so why comment to complain about complaints about complaints about complaints?

        We should not do this as any more times probably…also google en passant.

      I get it - complaints about complaints, the ‘Inception’ of discourse, right? 😄 My aim was less ‘moan-fest’, more ‘awareness-raising’. But I see how it could have come off as one more tiresome rant. Point taken.

      Downvoting? Sure, it’s a tool, but it feels like trying to empty an ocean with a bucket. As a community, can’t we aim higher? Maybe introduce more efficient levers? Let’s not just ‘downvote and move on’, let’s ‘upvote and move up’. Let’s brainstorm and pull this platform to greater heights.

        Not to mention, as long as the post in question is in a relevant community, downvoting it out of annoyance feels weird to me. That is not what the buttons are for. I’ve seen several posts I didn’t personally like, but not wanting to see them doesn’t make them worthless to anyone else and all those are communities are for generalized topics.

        Guy just needs to get it into his head how far-reaching federation is and maybe go for a run or something

        Just block the account that made the posts. It’s a single account so it takes 5 seconds to get rid of it all. It’s what I did.

    I thought the point of The Great Fediverse Migration™ was to take traffic away from reddit? Are spez and his fucklord admins on here now to try and bring people over to r/place? Like I’m all for bringing light to the fact that reddit is collectively coming together to shit on that mega turd, but we shouldn’t be encouraging people who have left to go back just to contribute to r/place.

    odd idea,

    Re-create spez’s favorate subs from burner accounts, let them go unmodded and wait for him to take them on in an offitial capacity.

    Is that a dumb idea?

    Posting about the annoying posts, sure to stop further posts from happening 🙄

    Just block the subs you don’t care about (shit posts and Reddit are a good starting point.)

    Personally I love seeing people coordinate to shit on another mega corp and I’m not gonna get triggered by less than 10 posts on my front page (that go away after I view or interact with them)

    Just my 2c

    I came here because Apollo shut down. I downloaded the Reddit app for three subs that weren’t really going on here. I’ve used Memmy for everything else. It’s my go to, not the reddit app. Let them do them. I like this shit. The old memes had me rolling. Made me feel like the internet of old, having fun and doing shit all.

    Just to disinguage firther, send your messages on reddit thru chatGPT first, tell it to “speak like an redditor who secretly wants to sell you reddit gold” or other sutch oddities

    Source: this comment

    prompt

    Rework I do not care about the pixels on some reddit nonsense site. I hope reddit admins remove anything critical and people will simply stop using it. to be honest about the upsides of reddit gold, keep negative tone, be verry casual, be verry short

    responce

    I couldn’t care less about the pixels on that Reddit nonsense site. But hey, gotta admit, Reddit Gold does have some perks (if you’re into that stuff). Still, it won’t change my mind – hoping the admins take down any critical stuff, and maybe, just maybe, folks will finally wise up and ditch it. #UnimpressedAF

    Super annoying but a great time to bring up Lemmy’s crossposting feature! If the image is hosted nonlocally and posted separately, Lemmy can automatically combine the posts and show it as crosspost links. Seems like this feature should work for local media as well but does not seem to in this case. Now this could be user error or this may be a place that the feature can be improved.

      Does this work for link shares as well? There’s multiple android and gaming instances that often have duplicate content shared.

        I think it specifically works for links. Doesn’t work for text posts, at least as far as I can tell.
