    It’s a very fresh topic and still ongoing so of course it’s being talked about. Eventually it will die down then go away. The stuff we don’t need is posts like this.

      Maybe we need a post complaining about posts complaining about Reddit so we can complete the cycle until we need to add another link into the chain.

      Yep, having a bunch of front page posts complaining (not trying to put it harshly) about the content just makes it look like the problem is worse to outsiders and doesn’t help perceptions. Let people talk about what they want, but vote accordingly and people will get tired of talking about reddit as less and less people engage with those posts. This post being here is causing more reddit-related engagement. Upvote the kind of content you want to see and it’ll rise up higher, becoming more visible and creating a virtuous cycle of positive engagement.

      Likewise, my only time spent on reddit is to upvote reddit drama discussion. Doing so will help push people who are “just tired of the drama and want to post” to find the fediverse a more enticing place to participate in.

      Also, it’s relevant to a lot of the userbase. Like, this is relevant to something that just personally impacted the majority of the userbase here – it’s gonna probably be of interest.

      I do agree with the idea that it’s good to get more content up, though. Go find a couple interesting things a day and submit them. I have!

      There are also some people at the BotIt magazine on kbin.social working on setting up a bot to mirror Reddit subreddit submissions to kbin magazines, which might help ease disruption for some subreddits.
