Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

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?

This is a natural result of most of the influx of new users being from Reddit as they're still keeping an eye on it to see how the situation evolves. I expect it to continue happening until at the very least a week after the beginning of July, which I expect will also be a second migration wave since that's when the third party apps will stop working.

It'll settle down eventually. In the meantime, users seem to have been doing a good enough job of keeping those threads on the communities/magazines dedicated to talking about Reddit and/or the relevant migration, so it's probably best to unsubscribe from/block them if you are sick of seeing those in your feed.

It has been nice and have more free time… but I also do enjoy reading the dirt on what’s going on ngl.

TF is Readit?

I think there are two aspects to this...

  1. The majority of people on federated message boards (lemmy, beehaw, kbin, etc) are former Reddit users who migrated specifically because of actions by Reddit, so it is natural to talk a bit more about Reddit at least for a short while. I believe this happened for quite a while on Mastodon (Twitter) as well.
  2. It's kinda fun to watch a dumpster fire in action ngl and I don't think this will pass until Reddit finally figures something out themselves...

Not a lot much else going on here, sadly.

Defederation wars are coming maybe...

Yes please!

There are plenty of places to talk about Reddit in other communities around here so it would be nice to focus on other topics in non Reddit related spaces.
