atlasraven31,

I've taken the new reddit direction as a challenge to the users to see how much trouble we can cause.

First to the Key!

deepthaw,

Civilly? I deleted my reddit account but I really don't feel aggrieved by people who stayed there.

Commod0re,

I’m not going back to reddit so “interacting” for me will be limited to if they come here

I bear ongoing users no ill will, I’ve just already deleted my account and I’m just not going to support reddit by using it anymore even as a lurker

makeitso,

Reddit feels like addiction to me, while the fediverse feels exciting and like I’m having real conversations with people.

I have popped on to Reddit a couple of times to help with a couple of subs I’m a part of but god it’s just trash over there to me now…I really don’t want to be there. I deeply resent what they’ve done to it over time.

Chocrates,

The amount of times I have been bored and opened my phone to reddit out of reflex is shocking. I need to do a technology fast or something

makeitso,

It’s actually wild. The addiction is very real.

kattaru,

You're just going to end up being bored again, opening your phone to lemmy out of reflex someday.

shirro,

There isn't much OC in Reddit posts. It's strength has always been as an aggregator with community discussions. I think repost the original sources but not the Reddit links.

Eventually our technology and civilisation will surpass them and we will have to consider if they have achieved the required maturity to join our Federation. Until then we should observe and keep our presence secret.

chriskoss,

We should copy content from reddit, but label it "repost from 4chan", so they have to try to crawl 4chan archives to see if the content was actually first posted on Reddit

make it expensive for them to claim ownership of UGC

CeruleanRuin,

We must be compassionate to our lost brothers and sisters, and guide them gently to the light of federation.

leecheroflife,

I am going to keep my reddit for the time being but try to see how I can go with using purely Lemmy, and learning how it all works.

If it becomes appropriate to mention in subreddits that this is a viable alternative, or there is already a parallel server, then I don't think there's harm in letting people know and letting them decide, I won't however be blatantly advertising it

nonsense,

Are we the Romulans or are we the Vulcans?

kingofmadcows,

We're Babylon 5. Steve Huffman is President Clark.

Definitely the Vulcans.

DuplexFields,

Escaping to Romulus when the purported followers of Surak became rigid and demanding in their pursuit of an ordered technocratic society, to an intolerable degree. We leave the hallowed halls of our ancestors: their katras, their monuments, their desert cities. We arrive refugees, but here at least we can build a new republic where power is willingly shared.

Ever go on a date with someone and all they talk about is their ex?

I don't mind if there's no cross posting. I'm sure people of a particular instance and board will be able to generate and aggregate content just fine on their own.

techno156,

Probably work independently. It might be nice to have a bot that could cross-post every once in a while, but Lemmy lacks that kind of API just yet, and the Reddit bot is going to last all of two weeks, with how things are currently going over there.

Maybe have the mods sticky/sidebar a post with their new alternative, if we're not going for a permanent move?

speck,

Crossposting in a context of a platform rife with re-postings doesn't sound too appealing.

Repeat content in inevitable, of course. But on Reddit, it is accelerated because of the karma system, bots, and karma farming. The desire for more content and traffic in the fediverse is to improve the quality of experience for existing users and to make it more enticing to new ones joining. I would argue that is not the purpose of content generation on Reddit.

Maybe I'm muddying that aspect of the question, though.

techno156,

Although cross-posting things from Reddit would help, by helping supply a stream of new content for users to talk about, while the community is small, and doesn't have that much to stay active.

The community is less enticing to new users if it seems "dead" because of a low number of infrequent posts.

hurricanechin,

Which is a stupid move because it locks them in an echo chamber. The quality will degrade significantly on July 1. Give some time and the masses will notice the decline of Reddit into a sort of Facebook, ad riddled, hellscape.

xc2215x,

You are going to have to accept that most of them you will not see.
