No, you cannot complain about complainers complaining about complainers complaining. That's too far!

3 days from now:

Can we stop making posts to complain about posts complaining about posts complaining about posts...

Complaining about reddit is part of the process. Let them do the same thing you did when you first migrated over.

As a digg refugee, it was the same thing on reddits early days... I think it's just part of the process.

What is more mildly infuriating than reading a post complaining about someone else complaining? Adding another level!

I don't know, maybe a post complaining about people complaining about people complaining? Seriously though I didn't notice such posts. I've only seen level 1 of this rabbit hole so far with people complaining about Reddit users ruining their little club and that seemed to peter out mostly over the past 2 weeks.

What’s more infuriating that a post complaining about someone else complaining? Probably one complaining about a post complaining about someone else complaining.

Complaining about the complainers complaining... So Meta...

We need to focus on the important issues: are dolphins laughing at us when we swim in the ocean?

Keep perspective in mind: it might be the 247st post complaining about reddit that YOU read, as you've been here longer than the newbies. But for the newbie that just now arrived here it's literally one of the first things they will post, they have NOT read the other posts yet and might not even know yet how to navigate the site properly to even find said posts. Just let them vent a bit, ok? It will get better on its own.

Imagine if it was pouring outside and you want to meet with friends, you're a bit late and soaked and p*ssed about the whole situation, but you finally make it and the first thing you say is; "Maaan, what a f[$%&] weather out there!" and then someone gets angry at you; "Yes we know FFS, the last eight people that arrived said the same!" ...would you feel welcome then?

Complainception 🤷

Stop trying to stack overflow the fediverse, please.

Thanks for saying it before I had to. You can really tell this is Reddit's successor by the complaintception.

It appeals to a broad group of new users, and Lemmy needs posts. I think it's ok for a few days or even weeks. It's topical - people are going to talk about something important to them. To tell them to shut up, and/or to shove it makes them feel unwelcome, which is counter to the growth Lemmy needs.

Sometimes it's ok to be annoyed by something, but to recognize it's worth to others.

Yeah seriously. Lemmy is 1/2 people that got booted from Reddit and miss it like an ex lol

Fully agree! Let's focus on posts complaining about posts complaining about users complaining about Reddit instead ;-)

No u

Ok, but only if I get to make the next post that complains about people complaining about people who complain about Reddit. Or...something.

The meta on this is getting out of control.

I'll make a single exception for this post, as it's complaining about the people complaining. But if I hear someone complain about someone complaining about someone complaining, then so help me.

As long as everyone has something to complain about, I think we're in a pretty good spot.

Is this like the recursive centaur (half horse, half recursive centaur) except with complains?

So... I wasn't the only one thinking that

Only if I can make a post complaining about posts complaining about posts complaining about posts complaining about posts complaining about posts complaining about people coming from reddit.

we need more recursion
