Give it a few weeks. It was the same on Mastodon during heights of the #TwitterMigration. Everyone was talking about how they left the ship, what’s different about the new place, and keep talking about the sinking ship.

After a while the new place felt familiar and that talk got less, and those meta-conversations were replaced with conversations about other things. If we get to that on Kbin eventually, that’d be great.

I feel ya, but honestly I am also kinda relieved to see people talking about it. I want updates [not forever, but for now] and I also don’t want to support Reddit in the meantime.

I also think of it like this:
If someone hands me a microphone and tells me to be funny, I fail. I won’t be funny, I doubt I’ll even make sense. I would need to prepare. Putting me on the spot is antithetical to the creative process.

I think the most difficult thing about this situation is this - we all know that we need to contribute here to keep it going. But it needs to come naturally. Part of that natural process is all of us talking about the metaphorical shipwreck we were just in. I’m sure it’ll pass, but in a sense, the ship is still sinking lol

Anyway, sorry for the stream of consciousness. I agree with you, I wish we’d move on. I bet in 2 months, we will.

I recognize this cycle from the early days of reddit~!

1. Story takes over frontpage.
2. People make posts complaining about the story taking over the front page.
3. Next up: posts complaining about the posts complaining about a story taking over the frontpage.
