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?

    It’s similar to when a work colleague comes back from holiday and you can hear them recount their holiday stories to everyone else.

    Yes, it gets boring quickly but the novelty will soon wear off and at some point the colleague will become self aware that they are repeating the same stories over and over and die a little inside.

    Take it upon yourself to post comment other than Reddit or about how everyone posts about Reddit

      Some of us are going through an actual grieving process over losing reddit. That place was my online home for like 15 years. It’s the kind of thing that definitely deserves drunk-bar-ranting.

    It’ll happen on its own. Right now, that’s sort of akin to asking New Yorkers on Sept. 15, 2001, why everyone’s still talking about the attacks.

    Personally, it’s nice to be getting news of Reddit without giving them any traffic. It’ll be old news eventually and I’m not a huge fan of shutting down natural discussion.
