should we be discussing reddit less?

Seems like a good portion of the activity in the communities is reddit oriented. If the goal is leaving/hurting reddit, it seems we should be continuing on like it doesn't exist, instead of continuing to drive interest to the site. Thoughts?

I'm of the opinion that the fediverse (and more specifically kbin) is my new home to talk about stuff. Reddit's been in the news and on my mind, so why not talk about it? Talking about other platforms isn't necessarily advocating for them. And people are gonna wanna talk about stuff. if not here, then where?

I do think it's important to encourage discussion of topics other than reddit, but to just avoid discussing reddit entirely? idk. Like I'd still talk about facebook, twitter, instagram, etc here if they're relevant and in the news.

I personally think the reddit discussion is starting to overstay it's welcome, and it would be good to show that we can talk, in depth even, about other things.

yup, it has gone on quite a while. I think people are still joining though which kinda makes it an evergreen topic for the time being.
