What is more mildly infuriating than reading a post complaining about someone else complaining? Adding another level!

Edit: Thanks for replying to my little joke everyone. It has been fun reading the responses. Though it seems like we have a few people that still only read and respond to the title.

Someone should definitely come up with a good rage bait title with happy rainbow stuff in the body.

      Can we please stop making posts to complain about slightly less new users complaining about new users complaining about Reddit??

        But what about the new users who complain about the slightly less new users, who might simply be slightly older ex-Reddit users who wish to complain?

        What about people who complain only about subreddits like r/donut - should they not, instead, complain about the hole thing?

          Isn’t the donut the hole thing?

            I don’t know, I think I’d better post a question on Reddit.

    I’m considering a new tack, to make posts complaining about people who complain about posts about people complaining about Reddit.

    Do you think it will catch on?

      So I spend 3+ hours a day on a website for 15 years and then just forget about it in a week? Okay

        You can always bury it deep down. That way people can’t see it until you start getting eye twitches.

      I mean… What do you expect? Lemmy to be an exclusive club?

      A bunch of people got betrayed by a platform they’ve been a part of for sometimes 12-15 years.

      Would you rather the generally higher quality users of reddit come to Lemmy, or start their own thing and split/fragment information and communities even more?

      Anyways, redditors are going to miss their communities and platforms. This is to be expected, it’s asinine to think that wouldn’t be the case.

    Keep perspective in mind: it might be the 247st post complaining about reddit that YOU read, as you’ve been here longer than the newbies. But for the newbie that just now arrived here it’s literally one of the first things they will post, they have NOT read the other posts yet and might not even know yet how to navigate the site properly to even find said posts. Just let them vent a bit, ok? It will get better on its own.

    Imagine if it was pouring outside and you want to meet with friends, you’re a bit late and soaked and p*ssed about the whole situation, but you finally make it and the first thing you say is; “Maaan, what a f[$%&] weather out there!” and then someone gets angry at you; “Yes we know FFS, the last eight people that arrived said the same!” …would you feel welcome then?

    I don’t know, maybe a post complaining about people complaining about people complaining? Seriously though I didn’t notice such posts. I’ve only seen level 1 of this rabbit hole so far with people complaining about Reddit users ruining their little club and that seemed to peter out mostly over the past 2 weeks.

    Fully agree! Let’s focus on posts complaining about posts complaining about users complaining about Reddit instead ;-)

      You… Do realize that the only way to affect change is to first point out a problem right?

      If the instance is flooded with people complaining about reddit, and that’s annoying, then point it out…

      Lots of people are unhappy about a lot of things right now, so lots of people are going to complain about those things.

    Complaining about reddit is part of the process. Let them do the same thing you did when you first migrated over.

      It’s like free collective trauma-dump therapy for us recovering Reddit addicts. I can’t wait for the “1 year since I dropped Reddit” kind of posts next year

      Yeah that’ll die out, but ramping up these kinds of complaint creates a circuit where we’ll get an eventually matured circle of hate.

    No, you cannot complain about complainers complaining about complainers complaining. That’s too far!

    What’s more infuriating that a post complaining about someone else complaining? Probably one complaining about a post complaining about someone else complaining.

      Are you complaining about those complaining about the people who complain about the Redditors complaining about Reddit?

    We need to focus on the important issues: are dolphins laughing at us when we swim in the ocean?

    Can we stop making posts to complain about posts complaining about posts complaining about posts…
