I’m tired about reading about reddit here.
We left. Let’s move on.
No, that’s a bad analogy. A closer one with your context is having a bad breakup and then getting into another relationship and moving in with the person, where your share stuff about your prior life along with other stuff.
But a better analogy is people living in an apartment building who get together for social events in the common area for years until the management starts doing shitty stuff, increasing rent, etc. A hunk of people decide they aren’t taking it anymore, so they all move into the newly built apartment down the road that doesn’t have many people in it yet. The new place also has community events, and now it’s mostly people from the old place that are talking about what happened in the old place.
Bad breakup, eviction, or whatever, you can’t expect a group of people who had a bad experience together to just stop talking about it in a few weeks. The vast majority of Lemmy users came from Reddit. It will die down when people really have gotten over it.
You first

Just like everyone else!
Sure, yeah, but you have to talk about your ex for a while to process and get over them.
🏅
Yeah, it’s healthy!
Says the person talking about…Reddit.
Yeah, I see so many of these post now. It’s like going on a date and and spending the whole night talking about dates that only talk about their ex
I would liken it more to starting at a new job in the same industry. You have lots to praise, critique and compare about your new job to your old job, and the only people who can appreciate what you have to say are your new peers.
It’s just the nature of the situation. This will likely be a trend for a while.
But it’s also topical news. There are interesting hints happening, newsworthy things. And the news is relevant to the wider world, not just one of us
But what if that crazy bitch stabbed you and it makes a pretty good story
Lets not pretend we werent completely hooked either
I agree to an extend. I could spend hours doom scrolling reddit but it was actually surprisingly easy to replace rif with wefwef.
if you want to stop reading about it use the block button liberally. I would recommend blocking mags like RedditMigration. That will relieve you of about 95% of the discussion…
Your post is the only post talking about Reddit in my feed, because I blocked the other channels. 😅
It’s a form of therapy

Not really. The reddit drama is a major disturbance in the internet. It’s a huge topic and thus naturally generates lots of discussion. Of course everyone’s talking about it.
Especially people directly affected by it!
And note that when Twitter had it’s major fuckup recently, conversation on Lemmy moved over to Twitter for a while. Then it was Threads and their privacy nightmare and wanting to federate. Now Reddit is back to fucking up, so we’re talking about them again. It’s not our fault that these giant social media companies keep very publicly fucking up.
If you’re joining the Fediverse to take Reddit down and migrate people over… then it makes sense to talk about it. Have to strategize to identify your enemy’s weaknesses it order to take 'em down. And while you’re doing it, negative things about Reddit will come out. Even if it does end up being complaining, it’s part of the process and it’ll make people feel better while also doubling as important brainstorming.
Then, may be we can start talking about Meta’s Thread…😅😅
It’s more like it was 90% of the people here’s ex that they just broke up with.
