      Reddit is like the ex they cant get over. Lemmy is reddit now.

        There was a lot of talk about Fark on Digg, and about Digg on reddit. It’s just the Circle of Life.

        Oh that I wish it were. Lemmy is improving, but it does not even approach the quantity and diversity of content Reddit has.

          I’m finding it better. Yeah, there’s less content and diversity, but the quality feels a lot better. I’m interested in a much larger share of the posts I see.

      Yeah, I didn’t care for it while I was a reddit user. The guy literally doesn’t care if you post ‘fuck /u/spez’ randomly in a comment section. Why let the guy live rent free in your head when you can step away from his domain and influence and never bothered again?

      I specifically joined Lemmy to get away from Reddit. Why does everyone constantly want to talk about Reddit? There are much more interesting topics out there, folks

        Nah, I decided to not downvote anyone on lemmy. Only upvotes. We need more positivity in our lives.

      Nah, it’s important to talk shit about people who suck that do corporatist shit like Spez. I don’t care about him but I’m just a sucker for anything like that.

    For a person everyone seemingly hates you guys sure do talk about him a lot. I’d much rather have my feed filled with content that’s not about Spez, Elon, Twitter, Reddit etc. Just move on already…

      Seriously y’all sound bitter as fuck. Like being obsessed with your ex.

      The fastest way to kill Reddit is to stop talking about it.

        I believe the people still ranting about Reddit just have not yet given up their hope in returning there some day when Reddit has “learned their lesson”.

        For some, Lemmy is just a temporary protesting statement.

          Because I have my doubt that Lemmy will come close featurewise for now. The whole search engine issue for Lemmy content (right now it sucks to Google for topics) and lack of GDPR compliance (deleted isn’t even deleted), as well as visible votes to everyone (it’s currently only hidden in the UI but everyone could see the names of user who voted up and down), are three issues they need to solve.

    Probably would have made sense to use his real name (Steve Huffman) in the title, Mr Jackmeehoff

    Huffman is just an empty suit. His purpose is to take the flak for all the unpopular changes that the money people want him to make.

    He’ll probably be gone within 2 years, get a nice payday, and never have to work again.

    Focusing your ire on Huffman specifically plays right into Reddit’s hands. And spamming “fuck u/spez” everywhere just makes those of us who oppose the direction that Reddit has taken look like petulant children to neutral observers.

      He’s the founder. He wants to cash out. He’s doing anything to get there.

      That’s more than just an empty suit. Someone with a backbone would have gone a different direction

        He’s a founder who already cashed out years ago—before being brought back to give the money people a credible figurehead.

      Personally I’d like to thank Steve Huffman. Without him I would not have discovered Lemmy and I really like it here!

    We should forget about our ex (Reddit). Lemmy is our new boyfriend/girlfriend. We should cherish her/him and give her/him some good lovin’.

    Can we please get over reddit and spez and move on. All the reddit content is making Lemmy much less fun to be on.
