if lemmy ever wants to succeed, we have to stop being obsessed with reddit and reddit drama.
For me, it is pure schadenfreude at this point.
Just a few days ago, the Reddit talk had already died down. With the mass exodus, it will be talked about for a bit before it dies down again.
Imo, that's good engagement. It's what people are going through. There's no reason to ignore it. Just as long as they don't keep talking about it a month from now.
Eh, this is the internet. Reddit and Twitter being dumpster fires this week is the hot topic. Something will likely come up soon enough to become the next circlejerk. But, to your point, it keeps driving engagement, which will increase traffic and conversation, and as long as the knuckleheads steer clear will help us build vibrant communities.
I'll be using both platforms and seeing how it goes. Lemmy has a totally different vibe, but it's a welcome one. Feels like the old days of the open internet. Also the memes are better 😂
I've got a craving for a cosy PHPbb forum from 2005.
Big ol' profile pics and banner signatures need to come back.
Heck yes! I had the coolest banner signatures in the olden days!
I know it’s frustrating, but just give it time. Folks will get tired of it eventually.

Reminds me of the Digg v4 migration to Reddit 🤷
Lemmy is r/redditdrama for the next year
