joining the fediverse to bitch about reddit is the same as going on a date, and spending the whole night talking about your ex

I'm tired about reading about reddit here.

We left. Let's move on.

I think there is a thin line there, which has been crossed.

Talking about Reddit drama is fine. But when 90% of the posts here are all about Reddit (or Meta/Twitter vs Mastodon) it seems to me that people are just salty.

I came here because I gave up on Reddit, and I am looking for a reddit substitute. What I wish is to find here the content I would normally find there, so that I am not forced to move back to that wonderful website, sadly managed by shitlords (as the other 100% of profit driven websites. A lesson hard learned).

But if my feed is spammed by 90% stuff about Reddit and nothing else, that is not the way to growth or make people stick around.

Totally. But the reddit discussions will naturally die down and/or be contained in the "reddit sucks" specific subreddits (I think they are called "Communities" on most instances? Sorry - still learning). But either way it's a hot topic right now and, as you said, people are angry, hurt, and want a place to vent. I like that we have that space and can discuss together.

The Connect app allows you to hide posts based on keywords. Maybe add "reddit" to that?

A way to filter posts with the word "Reddit" would be great.
