Digg: "join us reddit..."
We all float down here 💩💩💩
watch them lock old reddit behind a paywall just because it's the best part about reddit
Can't wait to see the mental gymnastics subreddit moderators will perform to defend this!
It was wild how spineless most of them were when the API stuff happened, and it showed how attached they are to their little bubble of power.
And some of them acted even more pathetic with virtue signaling.
Like the r/de mods allowed memes for a full week in "protest". Such rebels... they sure showed spez with that one...
Yeah it really was pathetic.
Like they took a stand while it was cool, but then capitulated rather than face removal.

I'm glad I jumped ship back during the ban on 3rd party apps. That was it for me.
Tbh, I didn't care about the 3rd party apps.
I just didn't like the silencing of opposition.
If they are willing to do mass censorship for benign things like a 3rd party apps protest, what's to say they wont booklick governments/corportions and censor info of horrible things that a government/corporation is doing.
It's the censorship that I was more afraid of. Besides, I always wanted a decentalized platform, but none of it had any users until June 12, 2023.

So, what's the stage after "enshitification"? "Enspezed?"

Is there anywhere I can find a complete scrape of Reddit threads and comments from before the 3rd party app apocalypse? There was a lot of useful info shared on there, but I don't want anything to do with what that site has become. I'm happy just to CTRL+F a big dataset. It'll probably still work better than either Reddit or Google does nowadays. Without media I imagine I could fit it somewhere.
Also, Spez is a greedy little pig boy.
We really need efforts made to bulk upload historical posts of value to lemmy. If done right, we could significantly expand the amount of subs and content, even if they are ghost towns initially with just the old posts from reddit. Build it and they will migrate.

As much as we'd like to joke about the sudden influx of new Lemmy users that will result from this lets all be real, it will be a few new users. Most Reddit users will accept whatever is thrown at them from that company while crying about it on Reddit. I don't know what the phenomena is but it seems that most people would rather stay on the bad platform than try something new and slightly different. I'm cool with that, I like niche platforms.
Its a toxic relationship, I literally could not leave, became aware of lemmy maybe two months before I left and always had the intention to make an account but put it off til I was perm banned, looking at my notifications I was getting less replies than ever. And if ppl replied it was to actively not be helpful or tell me to do anything other than answer my question.
