“Reddit CEO teases new ways to damage and eventually kill Reddit”

Kit ,

Who tf still uses Reddit? It’s all bots and power tripping mods nowadays. Lemmy is a million times better imo.

Exactly lol. I literally get banned from subs for no reason, and i once got banned for literally posting a meme in a meme sub, like wtf

TeoTwawki ,
@TeoTwawki@lemmy.world avatar

I felt that way till the influx of redditors came to get their little dopamine kicks via the rate buttons and bickering on bs topics.

While I do miss the subs with thousands, and the very obscure subs for my specific interest, this shit makes me glad I got out

Don’t worry, won’t be long for thousands join Lemmy when Reddit tries the Musk way of running a company into the ground :)

What makes me sad is how a lot of niche communities moved from websites to Reddit, and now they are going to die.

Do you think they will move to lemmy?

Ragnarok314159 ,

No. Most of those communities are dwindling away. The guitar forums on Reddit are all AI shit repost bots. Luckily there are a few good YouTube channels to still get information, but there is no discussion.

Redditors staged a coup and overthrew the CEO once before, why isn’t it happening again?

vxx ,

Because it was Russia overthrowing the CEO to install Spez.

ticklesyourinsides ,

I first read that as ceo nonce. Which makes sense.

Stovetop ,

Because Ellen Pao (the unpopular CEO who was ousted) was set up as the fall guy. Her entire purpose was to be at the helm while Reddit implemented (at the time) unpopular measures that angered the “free speech absolutists”. Once that was done, she was cast aside so the anointed pigboy they have today could claim his promised seat on the throne and not have to walk back anything.

grahamja ,

Fixing reddit search? Just insert a 2021 google search bar on old.reddit. I just saved you millions you dingus. Thank goodness Aaron Swartz doesn’t have to see what happened to his joint venture.

TeoTwawki ,
@TeoTwawki@lemmy.world avatar

Remember when they tried to pretend he was not really involved? And then the time the removed his name? Insert pepperage farm meme graphic.

index ,

Don’t post reddit ads on lemmy thanks.

FordBeeblebrox ,

I haven’t looked back since they killed Apollo, the only headline I want to see is bankruptcy

db2 ,

And the CEO in prison for insider trading.

ticklesyourinsides ,

I miss apollo. It was so good and the reddit app is so shit!

FordBeeblebrox ,

Use Voyager and Lemmy instead

ticklesyourinsides ,

That is what I’m doing

Astronauticaldb ,

Honestly, I think it’s pretty hard to call this an ad lol

index ,

“Lemmy CEO teases users with cookies and free subs” would be removed from reddit in 1 second

captainlezbian ,

Yes, because one is saying positives and the other is saying negatives. “Trump promises project 2025” isn’t a trump ad even if “Harris promises a fucking break from whatever weird bullshit trump said today” wouldn’t be allowed on truth social

index ,

Ads are about exposure too. The word “lemmy” is probably banned on reddit because they don’t want you to even mention a competitor or people would know.

When the frontpage is all about trump/harris any party that isn’t them lose because they get 0 coverage.

ILikeBoobies ,

Americans need a run off vote system if they want third parties to be relevant

Buddahriffic ,

Problem is the ones people currently trust to organise, run, certify, and implement the elections do not want third parties to be relevant. Existing powers entrench against any changes that might result in a more fair system because the unfairness is the reason why they are on top.

johannesvanderwhales ,

Would it? I think 90% of us heard about Lemmy on reddit.

index ,

I’m pretty sure lemmy links were autoremoved at same point

Zip2 ,

“Tease” doing a lot of heavy lifting there. It’s only a tease if it’s something people actually want.

dantheclamman ,
@dantheclamman@lemmy.world avatar

It’s a tease for shareholders desperate for more and more elaborate ways to squeeze a few more cents per user

MedicPigBabySaver ,

Fuck Spez

Lizardking27 ,

Wow all 8 of their non-bot users will surely be very disappointed.

Veneroso ,

Well, glad I jumped ship after the api fee fiasco. I never even used the mobile app, but the tone deaf/elonification, I was done. That’s right he got the great idea from Musk. How’s that IPO working out?

db2 ,

He doesn’t care. His goal is to extract money, period. He’s incredibly jealous of his former colleagues who cashed out for millions. He’s a greedy little pigboy.

franklin ,
@franklin@lemmy.world avatar

I know the average person usually doesn’t care, but surely most of the population of reddit must have realized how shit it is by now.

UsernameNotFound , (edited )

Fuck reddit, I got banned from Worldnews for asking when Ukraine would attack other targets. I was banned for “call for violence” it was a post about the war. So stupid

Goodmorningsunshine ,

Pretty sure worldnews is modded by the same people as r/Zion. It’s so easy to get banned from there - just call a genocide a genocide

Crikeste ,

I got banned for suggesting a man who violently pushed a woman off a bike should be pushed himself. Lmao “advocating for violence”

Fuckin’ spineless idiots

probableprotogen ,

Imagine if reddit makes porn subreddits paid

BallsandBayonets ,

If there’s one thing that united the Internet, it’s don’t fuck with our porn. It’s how Tumbler died, pornhub lost over 95% of their videos, and it’ll put the final nail in reddit if they try it.

probableprotogen ,

Tumblr isn’t fully dead it is just dying. I still find many people on there posting art.

Subscription models are finally coming to Reddit! It’s about time those greedy bastards start milking their userbase.

Nuke_the_whales ,

Reddit has become unusable. I had an account there for 7 years and no problem. I tried checking out Reddit again this year and I got permanently banned within a day. You can’t say anything there anymore cause you’ll inevitably piss off a power hungry mod who will ban you for nothing. There’s no longer discussion to be had there.

I made a comment on the Gladiator 2 trailer, asking why Danzel is playing Micrinus, who was North African but of Roman blood and born in Alegeria and raised in Africa as a provincial. And pointed out how it’s similar to that Cleopatra documentary inaccurately thinking that all people in Africa, even Egypt and North Africa were black. I pointed out Micrinus was Berber which were originally a more white race who mixed with Arab blood, so they were like a slightly darker skinned Romans, but not black.

I was banned for “racist commentary and bigotry”

Monomate ,

Sorry to disappoint you, but this kind of behavior is not exclusive to Reddit. Lemmy has its own share of power-trip mods in some communities. I thought (wrongly) that someone that took the effort of leaving Reddit and coming here would think differently than the average Reddit mod, but I guess the allure of demonizing anyone that disagrees with you is too irresistible for them.

pivot_root , (edited )

Whaaaa. You mean the volunteer scabs appointed by Reddit admins to replace the “power tripping mods” (pissed off Redditors, 2023) are even more power tripping? I’m shocked, I say! Shocked!
