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.

Lol

I was against giving them the engagement but this is goooood

[–] galloog1 158 points 1 year ago (3 children)

The engagement is fleeting but the spoiling of the narrative is forever.

Never forget he accused the Apollo dev of blackmail and doubled-down on the claim even after evidence disproved it.

Pretty sure that’s a crime in most places.

[–] PeterPoopshit 63 points 1 year ago

Crimes only count if poor people do them

[–] lennybird 45 points 1 year ago (10 children)

They screwed over so many people. Losing the ability to search your own comment history with Camas / Push Shift screwed me out of archiving some of my older write-ups and valuable conversations.

Admins really took a nose-dive in the last year especially. They royally screwed my account over, blatantly wrongly banning my main account then using that false-ban as justification to permanently-ban me months later.

All the while they uphold objectively-racist comments despite several reports. Fucking weird.

[–] Enasni 25 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I got temp banned for “report abuse” when I’ve only ever reported anything that clearly broke the sitewide rules. Just assumed it was some kinda mistake. When it happened a 2nd time I decided not to bother anymore. Now I consider my account read-only and if I want to post content I use Lemmy.

... And just like that, Reddit is down site-wide. Awfully convenient.

[–] [email protected] 80 points 1 year ago

Just a small database patch, don’t mind spez doing some deleteItem calls.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago

We all want to have an immortal legacy. Any good he's ever done is going to be overshadowed.

You can build 1000 bridges and fuck one clown. You won't be known as a bridge builder but a clown fucker.

[–] elscallr 60 points 1 year ago (13 children)

Always heard it as goats. There's probably some sexy clowns out there.

It also successfully distracted the userbase and isolated their protests from the rest of the site.

People make fun of Place but I think they knew exactly what they were doing.

[–] GONADS125 51 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Certainly drove their use statistics up a lot, which helps more than the incendiary messaging hurts them (IMO).

Well the join lemmy ad made it until the end at least

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago

From day 2 to the very end (0,0). No better advertisement possible. Don't even dare to try to change my mind.

[–] Savas 64 points 1 year ago

Nice and all, but pretty pointless if you stay there after.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=UnrnLd4tzGM

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

-Dylan Thomas

Based! Hopefully everyone can abandon Reddit soon

[–] nypariah 45 points 1 year ago

Worked for me, quit Reddit and in the lemmyverse now. They did this to themselves.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Thanks for everybody helping us. Glad to be a a part of it. For those who don't know. Lemmy got a nice banner at the center of the map. We also took part of the Fuck Spez project.

Now. You can only place white pixels currently

[–] postmateDumbass 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Racist reddit.

[–] muzzle 34 points 1 year ago (6 children)

I wonder what the federated version of r/place would look like. It should not be too hard to create a collaborative pixel board and accept input from anywhere in the fediverse. But we would need to come up with some cool fedi spin. A chessboard, maybe, where every server has a square?

In the future, when the fediverse is more mature, it would be cool to create something.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It should not be too hard to create a collaborative pixel board and accept input from anywhere in the fediverse.

That's a super optimistic viewpoint. Handling that kind of stuff is actually a pretty challenging technical problem. Reddit themselves wrote a nice technical blog post about the how they built r/place and the challenges associated with it. Dealing with synchronization issues across federated instances makes the problem quite a bit more difficult.

The way the Lemmy version of r/place would look like would depend on which other servers your server is federated with. It's a very postmodern approach where there is no single view of the thing for everyone

Every time anything negative towards reddit has gone up on place, mass unattributed changes have happened. I expect the same will happen here.

[–] marcos 32 points 1 year ago (3 children)

All the images are so clean. Like if they were all created by well coordinated robots.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago

They are largely the result of scripts battling other scripts.

That...is impressive.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

Lmao! they thought we can't create art with just white pixels

[–] malloc 17 points 1 year ago

Lol is this why Reddit has been flaky for the past hour?

Trying to view some posts and get random “community not found” errors or page loading errors.
