The only place I don't see frontpage news about what's happening with Reddit is on Reddit. (kbin.social)

I assume someone's deleting critical news articles there, or having bot armies downvote them. On Kbin and Lemmy and Squabbles, even on Google News, I see Reddit's woes front and center.

I mean it's even hard to find some content not related to Reddit here imo.

I wish people would just move on and just post something else. Trying to upvote things that are original content in the ssort by new feed, hopefully it will envolve

I get your frustration, but I think for now these reddit-related news have their place here.

It'll calm down eventually, of course.

I upvoted all the Reddit stuff, but to support your efforts I‘ll calm down on that a bit.

I definitely get your frustration but that whole outrage is still pretty fresh and we need that momentum to really move people from Reddit and join here. It'll calm eventually.

@whyNotSquirrel I agree with you generally, even though I think it makes sense there's still a lot of Reddit-related news, given this is all going down right now. What honestly bothers me more is when I see a wall of posts that are just about the forum/site/server I'm on, e.g. on Squabbles I swear half the front page at any given time is just users praising the site admin or suggesting new features. I get it, but I feel like the sign of a healthy online community is seeing people posting a variety of interesting content on different topics and having engaged discussions about them. That's why I've been coming to Kbin more and more.
