I’m starting to get tired of people talking about Reddit on Lemmy. I personally don’t care about Reddit anymore and am not interested in Reddit news.

I already blocked c/reddit that helped. Is there anything else I can do? Is there a way to hide posts that contain a keyword?

    What I meant is, most people haven’t even really looked into using something other than reddit, because they still can.

    Hence, there will be another wave, when they cannot.

      My belief is that people who continue to use reddit normally don’t really care strongly enough to leave. They are only upset about the third party apps, but not enough to quit reddit. They don’t care about wanting a decentralized internet and having a platform for the people by the people. Even the use of the official app isn’t even concerns of the permissions that could extract lot of additional data to build a more accurate profile of users to resell to marketers. I believe for them the outrage will pass. In the end they want to keep using reddit and aren’t looking to leave. It’s just noise in the outrage, but not an actual willingness to follow through.

        So you’re saying, of ALL the people who will move only when pushed my the third party apps ceasing their function, NONE will end up here?

        There will be NO wave. At all?

          It won’t literally be none. That would be a really amazing absolute to see happen.

                Your first reply to me questioned my supposition that the shutting down of the 3PAs would lead users to lemmy. Any users. You suggest that users who would use lemmy are already doing so.

                So yes?

                  It’s felt more like series of questions than disagreeing at least to me. Like an interview. Anyways good talk.
