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.
Complaining about the complainers complaining… So Meta…
Can we stop making posts complaining about people complaining about complaining?!
Can we stop making posts complaining about the people complaining about the complaining about the complaining?
It appeals to a broad group of new users, and Lemmy needs posts. I think it’s ok for a few days or even weeks. It’s topical - people are going to talk about something important to them. To tell them to shut up, and/or to shove it makes them feel unwelcome, which is counter to the growth Lemmy needs.
Sometimes it’s ok to be annoyed by something, but to recognize it’s worth to others.
No, you cannot complain about complainers complaining about complainers complaining. That’s too far!
Complainception
“Break the loop and you break the chains.”
Nobody actually said that to my knowledge but putting quotes around it lends some legitimacy. 
As long as everyone has something to complain about, I think we’re in a pretty good spot.
3 days from now:
Can we stop making posts to complain about posts complaining about posts complaining about posts…
3 days from now:
The US navy detected the implosion of complain posting 3 days ago
Reminds me of this.

It isn’t even like this is reddit where you have to deal with whatever reddit gives you. Anyone can spin up their own instance and federate from whoever they want or defederate from whoever they want or keep whatever posts they want or delete whatever posts they want.
The thing is, imo it’s about control of others. You can own and operate your instance however you want, but what people really want is to dictate what others get to see and do.
Only if I can make a post complaining about posts complaining about posts complaining about posts complaining about posts complaining about posts complaining about people coming from reddit.
we need more recursion
As a digg refugee, it was the same thing on reddits early days… I think it’s just part of the process.
It’s part of grieving
What’s more infuriating that a post complaining about someone else complaining? Probably one complaining about a post complaining about someone else complaining.
Complaining about reddit is part of the process. Let them do the same thing you did when you first migrated over.
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.
It’s the circlllle, the circle of hate!
I like my hatred finely aged in an oaken cask
Never thought I’ll be thinking about the “ninth circle of hate”
Then you haven’t spent nearly enough time on Reddit.:-)
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?
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.
Yeah seriously. Lemmy is 1/2 people that got booted from Reddit and miss it like an ex lol
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.
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.
Complainception 🤷
We need to focus on the important issues: are dolphins laughing at us when we swim in the ocean?
Only the mean ones.
