Is it though? It kind of feels like you broke up with someone but are still getting constant updates about who they're currently fucking the minute you left.
I guess that's some people's kink.
lol it's more about seeing how your ex is crazy and digging themselves a hole after you left them.
Yeah this is all real "dodged a bullet" energy and I love it.
I think it's more like reading about how your ex, who was showing erratic behavior that caused you to break up with them, has been burning down their own mansion and waving a gun at the firefighters so they stay the hell out because the ex is trying to protect the mansion's property value!
It's more like watching them post about how bad a date went or hearing about how they got kicked out of Wendy's.
I haven't subbed to any reddit related magazines/communities here but they pop up on all. I do think it's probably healthier for people and this platform to move on. I do get why people still want to hear about shenanigans.
It's an ongoing shit show, and given the migration, it does affect us. So it is worthwhile to keep an eye on it.
Plus, many of us Reddit refugees cared about the communities we participated in. Even if we don't care for Reddit as a company anymore, we do care about the communities we left behind.
It will naturally taper off after the end of the month exodus happens and people settle down into their new communities. Lemmy doesn't have the underlying culture associated with it that reddit has developed over the last decade or so. That is something that will develop over time. until then we're all ex redditors more than we are lemmites (lemmings? lemmiers?).
While lemmings cosplay could be fun I don't really like the name that much.
