Fuck karma and check marks. I want anonymity back. I want the old internet. This "social networking" shit is lame. Lemmy doesn't need Twitter or reddit level of success. Look where that has got them.

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.

I love the energy. But without people/success an aggegator is a small village gazing at its navel
The fediverse at large houses over a million users and lemmy/kbin is comprised of hundreds of thousands. There are enough people to form active communities without any strain or bloat.
I’ve never questioned if someone was official on Reddit such as an AMA. The only people who benefit from this are content creators and corporations. It’s a money grab at best, and at worse a loss of privacy online.
Conversely, I’ve enjoyed having anonymity to speak my mind.
The old ways of the internet are being replaced by state surveillance and eshitification.
Is spez going to change Reddit's name to ℤ next?

The time for Reddit to make its app compatible with screen readers was when people using screen readers were still using the fucking app, lol.
Third party apps were being used because they were the only devs who cared enough to let the accessibility users play too, until Reddit was all aw hell no, ain't havin that, and shut that down too.
Even as Spez et al were angrily insisting how concerned they were about accessibility out one side of their greedy little pigboy mouth, they were refusing to answer straight questions from the mods of r/blind out the other side of their greedy little pigboy mouth. Like they'd never lied before, heh.
Today is exactly that. Reddit has made these promises for years, and as of right now they are still just promises. Greedy little pigboy mouth has opened again, only to spew forth more vaporware.
But now r/Blind is now here on Lemmy, and anyone unable to use whatever broken and limited accessibility accommodation Reddit kludged together after July 1 has split.
But there's an upside: now Reddit has all the time in the world to do all the accessibility accommodations they swore they'd do ten years ago.
Never change, Reddit. Never fucking change, lol.
