Reddit’s downfall is a major disruption in the internet, of course everyone is going to talk about it, especially considering most of us are coming from there. Chill, bro!
Arguably one of the most important sites too. People had accounts for week over a decade, they’re rightly pissed when a place you used to love turns to shit because some dropkick CEO wants to pump his upcoming IPO
Furthermore we want to make Lemmy better and that includes learning from reddit - what should be the same, what should be changed and what should be added/removed/be like reddit “used to be” etc. It’s a software project not a summer flirt.
We still talk far too much about it, though. For example, I posted about a breakthrough in Alzheimer’s research yesterday. In what world do Reddit’s issues justify one hundred times the coverage of that breakthrough?
Because reddit never has operated that way. Posts aren’t news. Posts are things on people’s minds. Opinions will always outnumber events. Especially when those events may not have a big impact on their lives. And to be honest, I see more complaints about “let’s not discuss reddit” than I do discussing reddit. My guess is you’re confusing the amount of content that gets posted to your instance. It’s not nearly as much as reddit so you’ll see all the low voted content just as often. That content never makes it to other instances though. So it’s not so much a Lemmy problem, but a lemmy.world problem is my guess.
I was merely pointing out that just because you don’t agree that we should see less of it mentioned that I am not chill, when in fact I’m more chill than frosty the snowman.
Start a discussion about not discussing it? Right. Brilliant move. Your responses so far haven’t even been on the topic you wanted to start/stop. It’s been replying mainly about defending your ability to complain, even though most of it is in contradiction to your stated goals.

I am very chill my friends.
Just exercising my right to express myself. If that goes against what you believe it doesn’t mean that I’m mad or vexed.
You think my reply goes against your believe in the freedom of expressing yourself? Lol, I think I’ll have to say it again: Chill, bro!
No, I don’t.

You have a wonderful day brother.
You too, mate!
It’s interesting that you’re exercising your right to tell people to stop exercising theirs…
Can was there operative word I used. It wasn’t telling people anything.
I was merely hoping to start a discussion.

Chill people usually don’t go straight to waving their constitutional rights in other people’s faces at the first sign of any minor disagreement.
When the goto defense is that it’s not illegal, you’re pretty much admitting you have a terrible position and already know it.
