News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Just thought it would have been better than risking deletion by some form of automods & having to repost.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Shit.

Cunt.

BAAAAAAAAALLS.

Amongst many other fun words.

I think it started in earnest the day of his AMA, whenever that was.

It actually started long before that. Fuck U Spez was already a meme when all of the API/third-party app stuff took off, but at that point, it was still mostly a holdover from previous examples of Spez being a shithead. The thing that really gave it (new) life was that AMA.

[–] Favoring9181 9 points 5 months ago

Ah yes the AMA where he made everything even worse for himself, especially by trying to slander the Apollo's dev. That seems to be on 09 June 2023.

Every day is fuck u/spez day

Start posting pictures and videos of John Oliver all over the place again..

[–] MargotRobbie 7 points 5 months ago

It is clearly July 21st, as shown on the banner of this community.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

In my experience, the existing lemmy servers really started taking off from the dozens of active users that were there into the hundreds, with each day after May 31 having exponential growth. By the time Lemmy.world started around June 17, we were into the thousands. This was a huge change many of the users and admins weren't expecting, and the servers were barely ready for.

All the mods achieved was further alienation from their communities who didn't even that Apollo existed.

Most other 3rd party applications are still running under a paid subscription to cover their API usage bill.

The only reason I am here is because of the higher transparcey if mods start power tripping, at least we can see it in the mod log.

By donating to your local instance and posting the donation on the lemmy subreddit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

This is a great idea.

Personally there were 3 key events

  • May 31, 2023 is when the details of the API change surfaced and the snowball of opinion started rolling down hill.
  • June 12: the blackout started and I moved to the Threadiverse.
  • June 28? - July 1, Reddit started to force subs back online by any means necessary, which is what made me realize I wouldn't be going back.
