I've been on reddit long enough that I remember the mantra...
Do not talk about Reddit on other sites
Do not link to Reddit from other sites
They understood the concept of "Eternal September" and wanted to hold it off for as long as possible.
I'm not sure that represents a good lesson from the original Eternal September.
One might hope for an echo of Lovecraft:
Do not call up newbies that you cannot calm down.
And also:
Do not permit automated posting that exceeds your capacity for automated filtration.
in their house at R'ddit, dead C'hatb'ots wait dreaming
It kinda worked for a very long time. Like a good 8-10 years. Sure, there was a slow decline but reddit was still pretty good up until new reddit was introduced.
I remember being embarrassed to discuss reddit irl in a way that I wasn't embarrassed to discuss Facebook, for example. Reddit was the dirty little secret.
