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.

Seems there are plenty of Reddit bootlickers lined up ready to oust all the protesting moderators. https://twitter.com/aaronp613/status/1668683335718035457

Worse still, the mods at r/Apple caved and voluntarily reopened instead of letting Reddit replace them: https://web.archive.org/web/20230616040715/https://libreddit.garudalinux.org/r/apple/comments/14al426/rapple_blackout_what_happened/

They also have no intention of moving their community anywhere else... https://libreddit.garudalinux.org/r/ModCoord/comments/148ks6u/indefinite_blackout_next_steps_polling_your/jo6k0ox/

The quality of moderation will decrease significantly with no API.

Reddit itself will continue to cut costs to achieve profitability. Quality of services will probably decrease.

It will IPO amid mounting negative sentiment, and the stock will plummet. You'll start seeing loads of ads for Reddit (a place funded largely by ads).

It'll eventually be bought by an even worse company. Probably a competitor who low key wants it dead.

All the while, fewer and fewer communities will have quality moderation.

There's still time to build, though. And that's what's happening here, I think.

Their complete disregard for users, mods, and devs has completely shifted my interest away from Reddit. Even if they weren't shafting third party apps, spez has completely burned any goodwill they had.

Reddit has, in not so few words, stated clearly that it doesn't give two shits about us and is purely chasing profits at this point while monetizing user generated content.

Lemmy may be in its infancy still, but the memes are dank and the posts have genuine engagement. Also the little Lemmy rat is cuter than Snoo. 🐀

It's been a while since I made the above comment, and I'm surer now. There's got to be some corporate raiding at play with regard to IPO. Really bad optics that seem almost deliberate.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It legitimately feels like they're putting every single effort regardless of consequence into the IPO, then selling out / taking severance / etc. Iunno, it's their problem and not ours now 😁

[–] Gradually_Adjusting 1 points 2 years ago

The corporatist to fascist pipeline, and all that. It's our problem in that Meta is already casting its eye at the fediverse. Lemmy and its ilk are a threat to corpo hegemony in the social media space, and if they can ruin it, they will. Spoiler warning: they can.

Since moving to Lemmy a few weeks ago I genuinely didn't realise just how many ads I was being served via Reddit which weren't guised as actual paid ads. I legit can say after weeks of trawling Lemmy, I don't think I have seen a single brand or image of a brand being posted anywhere.

On Reddit it was every few posts....

I haven't been back now for at least 4 weeks and at this point, no longer miss it. Between Lemmy, Chan and couple of other sites I get news from, the void of no Reddit has been filled.

Really enjoying my time with Lemmy.... It reminds me of early web :) I hope it doesn't change!

I wish them a lot of good luck moderating the subreddit wihout proper tooling and API. Let's see how long they last.

[–] GuyWithLag 12 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Well, it's the Apple subreddit. I'm pretty sure that they only get to keep the name under the control of the company.

[–] Falmarri 17 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Also if they're apple fans they're used to licking boots

[–] Pillarist 1 points 2 years ago

Herd animals.

[–] joneskind 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

At least our community is not loaded with LGBTQI haters...

[–] Falmarri 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What does this even mean? What community is lgbtq haters?

[–] LillianVS 1 points 2 years ago

I am so confused? My first thought is Windows, Android or Lemmy? And none of those three make any sense lol

Someone please ELI5

[–] JoeKrogan 5 points 2 years ago

Or they could make it about actual apples 🤣

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

I really don't understand why more sub-reddits are not trying to rebuild or move their community elsewhere.

Then again, tons of mods are just as corrupt as the admins of the site. That doesn't excuse all the users who continue to stay on that platform though.
