then what’s stopping people from just going/staying on reddit?
Content isn’t an issue, the internet is filled with AI generators and bots. Meaningful content and engaged communities are what we should be encouraging.
Reposts and directly referencing reddit is counter to that imo but I appreciate the intent.
*Should clarify i have no problem with reposts but diaagreed we have a “content problem” but more an activitg issue/opportunity to make a unique fediverse-lemmy internet culture and copy-pasting reddit is not the way to go.
After the following years, I’ve quietly taken the whole “this is when we diverged into the darkest timeline” schtick an iota more seriously. It’s been a strange 8 years.
