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.

It's the one thing that all (or most of us, I guess) have in common; we're all here because of what's going on there. It's natural to want to talk about it.
It'll pass; I'm already seeing a lot of non-reddit content on my home feed now, whereas day 1 it was probably 95% posts of the sort you're talking about.
It’s still fresh, is this thing. Mastodon was like that for a while; there was a lot of talk of twitter and angry posts and Elon Musk. People were still hurt and angry. It takes a while to work through that, so there’s likely going to be a lot of talk about it for a while. But it’ll stop on its own as people start moving on.
At least Reddit didn't ban mentioning the words kbin, Lemmy, Squabbles etc. Twitter banned the word Mastodon.
One reason I came to kbin was when reddit blocked the kbinmigration sub - hello Streisand effect. In the end that turned out to be an anti spam glitch, but it shows the danger in trying to ban something.
I think there are two aspects to this...
I think it is fine to talk about developing news regarding Reddit just as we would any other social media site. Part of the issue I have with these threads though is that it's still basically the same comments being made. The big news revolves around the API decisions, and the really scummy leadership. That's what all of the comments really fall back to, understandably so. It would still be nice to hear some discussion about what former Redditors think about new developments, such as the recent threats to have the community vote out mods who keep their subreddits private
Yes
TF is Readit?
Yeah if people want to see less discussion about Reddit, they need to just start posting about other topics. I know it will change over time.
I think Reddit is current events, and it's fair to bring up the news around it.
Yes
