Shall we embrace cross posting?
Shall we have links in our bios if we have accounts on both? Is anyone here actively using both at the same time? How’s it going?
Any advocacy on the sub-reddits by cross posting lemmy threads/comments and maybe doing more?
Or we just ignore each other?
Regardless of how everyone feels about Discovery, remember how the crew had to leave behind all their families, friends, and loved ones for the greater good when they were flung 1000 years into the future? I think that’s us.
Regardless of how everyone feels about Discovery
You know what I haven’t seen yet? Literally anyone complaining that Spock >!cried!< in the latest episode of SNW.
Keep that in mind next time you come across someone complaining about Burnham.
Civilly? I deleted my reddit account but I really don’t feel aggrieved by people who stayed there.
There isn’t much OC in Reddit posts. It’s strength has always been as an aggregator with community discussions. I think repost the original sources but not the Reddit links.
Eventually our technology and civilisation will surpass them and we will have to consider if they have achieved the required maturity to join our Federation. Until then we should observe and keep our presence secret.
I’ve taken the new reddit direction as a challenge to the users to see how much trouble we can cause.
First to the Key!
We must be compassionate to our lost brothers and sisters, and guide them gently to the light of federation.
Reddit feels like addiction to me, while the fediverse feels exciting and like I’m having real conversations with people.
I have popped on to Reddit a couple of times to help with a couple of subs I’m a part of but god it’s just trash over there to me now…I really don’t want to be there. I deeply resent what they’ve done to it over time.
The amount of times I have been bored and opened my phone to reddit out of reflex is shocking. I need to do a technology fast or something
You’re just going to end up being bored again, opening your phone to lemmy out of reflex someday.
Are we the Romulans or are we the Vulcans?
Escaping to Romulus when the purported followers of Surak became rigid and demanding in their pursuit of an ordered technocratic society, to an intolerable degree. We leave the hallowed halls of our ancestors: their katras, their monuments, their desert cities. We arrive refugees, but here at least we can build a new republic where power is willingly shared.
One of the most annoying things about Mastodon during the Twitter migration at the beginning of this year was that the only thing Mastodon wanted to talk about was “the Birdsite.”
It sure would be nice if we could get through that phase of the Reddit migration at a vastly accelerated pace.
“Speak for yourself, sir. I plan to shit talk forever.”
I’m fine with the site being a black sheep, but most of us are refugees. We are going to have growing pains and people will trickle/stream in over time. The best way to ensure the fedverse dies before living is to make talk about Reddit a taboo or a thing to ridicule. People are going to complain, just don’t engage and over time it’ll die out.
At the moment I personally welcome cross posting. I’m dying for content right now. Haven’t found a lot of mags to join. I would start some but I would be shit for modding or content creation.
We need to make a request to the devs to autocorrect “Reddit” to “Cabbage” just to spice things up a bit.
Can we do John Oliver instead?
“Shits really gone downhill on John Oliver since all the subs started only posting pics of John Oliver”
