    This is great watching the drama from my new “home” here on kbin. I’m so happy that you all are here too, giving me tons to read.

      Is it though? It kind of feels like you broke up with someone but are still getting constant updates about who they’re currently fucking the minute you left.

      I guess that’s some people’s kink.

        More like leaving a dysfunctional job for a better one and watching the place implode from outside.

        I know spent so much time on Reddit that it seemed like a second job at times…

        It’s more like watching them post about how bad a date went or hearing about how they got kicked out of Wendy’s.

        I haven’t subbed to any reddit related magazines/communities here but they pop up on all. I do think it’s probably healthier for people and this platform to move on. I do get why people still want to hear about shenanigans.

          It’s an ongoing shit show, and given the migration, it does affect us. So it is worthwhile to keep an eye on it.

          Plus, many of us Reddit refugees cared about the communities we participated in. Even if we don’t care for Reddit as a company anymore, we do care about the communities we left behind.

          It will naturally taper off after the end of the month exodus happens and people settle down into their new communities. Lemmy doesn’t have the underlying culture associated with it that reddit has developed over the last decade or so. That is something that will develop over time. until then we’re all ex redditors more than we are lemmites (lemmings? lemmiers?).
