should we be discussing reddit less? (self.chat)

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?

I'm thinking of this as a grieving period. I was on Reddit via Sync for over 10 years multiple times a day. I'm angry, annoyed, and sick over the entire situation, and commiserating with other Reddit orphans is helping me transition to Lemmy. It will slowly die down over the next few months and we'll find something else to direct our rage at. 😉

This is how I see it as well. Reddit has been a big part of a lot of people's everyday lives, and to have something so momentous happen seemingly overnight is disruptive and distressing (to varying degrees for different individuals). It's going to take time for us to process what's happened and what that means for us all going forwards. The silver lining is that because a lot of us are going through similar emotions, we can support each other. c:

That's a good way to put it. I'm still partially in denial and think it's possible for the admins to reverse course. But I admit, it isn't terribly likely. After the 30th I'm giving up on it.
