There’s less Reddit meta content on Reddit, why did I come here?
We need to create our own Pixel games on Lemmy. On every server. With blackjack and hookers
WE NEED LESS POSTS ABOUT SOLDIERS
What if we had our own r/place?
We’d need something more unique otherwise ppl would think it’s just a reddit ripoff.
Honestly one thing I think our future !place needs is color blending. colors can be blended with the below color instead of replaced. A notched slider or radio button sets the blending alpha. 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%.
Hear me out, like really, please… no really! What about !place but your makimg a GIF image, huh? Huh? /s
You’re not alone in giving a grand total of zero shits about reddit at this point.

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
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?
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 prefer checkers. Or Go Fish. Actually, I prefer pinball, but I’ve never seen a chess-themed pin.
Dude thinks that a valid complaint about an annoyance validates the annoyance. It’s an ages old internet trope. Similar to the “I won because you don’t respond to me anymore!”
Who is “dude”?
it’s bitching all the way down
It’s bitchin’ in the upside down
In other words: the internet
The spirit of Reddit lives on
Op isn’t trying to accomplish anything other than complaining. Trying to climb the ladder in our modern day social media culture of outrage 🙄
This is Mildly Infuriating. The whole point is to complain about stuff.
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.
Do you practice being this stupid or does it come naturally?
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’m surprised a bit because this place has a higher median age. At this point, that kind of stuff seems super childish to me, and I’m not trying to have this become the v2 of what was over there. There was SO much echo chamber junk going on there that’s it’s nice to open a topic here and have great diversity in opinion and thought. I’m looking forward to hearing less about Reddit on here, but understand it will take some time for people to either get over it or go back.
absolutely correct. unfortunately the higher median age does not translate to higher emotional qoutent.
Like a child holding unto a grudge that all the other people who are involved has already forgotten and moved on.
Idunno. I’m mildly annoyed with the crossposting spam, but not surprised at the behavior. The internet has lent itself incredibly well to tribalism ever since its widespread adoption, so there’s always going to be some amount of “New platform is my god, old platform suck roach testicles.” I just hope it does die down instead of being a running undercurrent here like Spez married into the kardashians.
I want lemmy to have a hacker news mentality on posts and comments. Only post something if it will help continue a discussion. In the beginning that’s mostly what it was and it was great. Now it’s turning into Reddit V2. If that’s what people want then it’s fine, I just thought it’d be more like old Reddit where we only upvote content that added to a discussion.
Then…leave if you don’t like it?
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.
We all get that reddit is doing this intentionally right?
Like, all the nerds (hi it’s me) that are mad about the changes can make angry art, coordinate to really “send a message,” the event wraps up, everyone goes “wow we really did something here.” and then reddit moves on with it’s life.
/r/place is the “using change dot org to send a message to powerful people” of reddit.
/r/place is the “using change dot org to send a message to powerful people” of reddit.
I mean change dot org results in no change. This results in negative change because it’s driving traffic, boosting reddit’s numbers for the IPO.
does reddit profit if I browse it with an ad blocker?
Indirectly yes, because they need to show high usage numbers likely.
Problem is it drives traffic and then doesmt stick, make the message unremovable or dont enguage there!
Honestly I’ve heard more about spez and Reddit on the fediverse than I ever did on Reddit itself. The best way for us to move on is to actually move on.
I don’t care about it as long as it’s not driving traffic. I like keeping up with Reddits slow descent into madness, and I like that I don’t have to give Reddit traffic to do so. I doubt I am alone in that sentiment given the amount of upvotes and posts related to such topics.
Oh trust me, I understand there is something about watching their descent into madness. I wouldn’t be subscribed here if I didn’t want to see it. I was more pointing out that it’s like when people would Facebook stalk their ex. Like sure you aren’t interacting with them directly in any way but the only way to fully move on is to drop the morbid curiosity. (Again, I’m also subscribed here watching the dumpster fire)
Ya’ll a bunch of techy people, how has nobody here just botted this yet?
That is literally what happens every year with r/place. Hundreds of thousands of bots placing pixels based on pregenerated images. Then the bots fight each other. Then reddit uses their own bots to censor things or mod tools to drop a bunch of random pixels over the top of images to wipe them out.
Redditors agree, place looks verry genaric right now,
repost
We should stop as its a suckers game without a botnet or other shadey tactics
Yeah, I don’t even think about reddit anymore, I don’t need to troll.
Just downvote and move on I guess.
You came here because we need more soldiers
I just came in general.
I’m doing my part 😂
Service means citizenship!
I just started reading that this week!
Would you like to read more?
That’s the spirit! Carry on soldier
Hey… I’m just wondering… do we need more soldiers?
I wasn’t clear on that. Maybe one more post will clear things up.
WE HAVE TOO MANY SOLDIERS, WE NEED MORE BATTLES TO AVOID LAYOFFS!!!
That’s where bushido came from. Too many samurai, not enough battles to make them fight in, so they came up with a bunch of rules to keep them out of trouble.
I recognize a Voyager app user when i see one, great
Honestly, you’ve just got to wait until people get it out of their system, and folks do that at different speeds. It was the same thing on Mastodon for a while, after the big Twitter Migrations. People were still salty and up in their feels about Twitter, and were posting about it. People who had been on Mastodon for longer got fed up quickly with all the twitter posts. But they tapered off. The same will happen here.
Yeah Digg remained a huge topic on Reddit when the migration was happening and we’re currently in the thick of Reddit’s decline and hopefully the start of a real exodus. So unfortunately this is just how people are gonna behave for a while.
Pineapplelover has been spamming this all over lemmy. Wonder if he realizes there’s no karma here.
