I'm just here for the general "news", I can't get on my reddit feed anymore, tech news included. To that end, I'm for it being talked about as long as spez is still stirring the pot. I think it'll die down over time as others say as well

I think it is fine to talk about developing news regarding Reddit just as we would any other social media site. Part of the issue I have with these threads though is that it's still basically the same comments being made. The big news revolves around the API decisions, and the really scummy leadership. That's what all of the comments really fall back to, understandably so. It would still be nice to hear some discussion about what former Redditors think about new developments, such as the recent threats to have the community vote out mods who keep their subreddits private

HEY GUYS LET'S DISCUSS REDDIT LESS. REMEMBER THAT SITE WE USED TO GO TO NAMED REDDIT? YEAH LET'S DISCUSS REDDIT LESS

It will change. When everything happened with Twitter and a number of people switched over to Mastodon, all people talked about on Mastodon was Twitter. Within a couple of months that shifted dramatically and now I come across much less Twitter-related content. Most of my mastodon feed now is just the topics that I’m interested in. Give it time.

Not a lot much else going on here, sadly.

There are a couple reddit focused communities that I am following but my goal is eventually to just focus on these new spaces and less on reddit. I think it will take some time, and the amount of time will differ from person to person.

I think there are two aspects to this...

1. The majority of people on federated message boards (lemmy, beehaw, kbin, etc) are former Reddit users who migrated specifically because of actions by Reddit, so it is natural to talk a bit more about Reddit at least for a short while. I believe this happened for quite a while on Mastodon (Twitter) as well.
2. It's kinda fun to watch a dumpster fire in action ngl and I don't think this will pass until Reddit finally figures something out themselves...

TF is Readit?

Bruh seriously, I'm glad the community is growing and have been waiting for a good enough reason to leave Reddit, but half the posts here about how we're so much better than Reddit and Reddit sucks. I came here to lurk original and non-bot content, not to pat each other's backs
