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 the Reddit CEO is taking a victory lap after crushing the mod rebellion and third party apps.

He didn't crush any rebellion?

I still read reddit, and the content has taken a big dive since the Apicalypse

I barely visit Reddit now, but the odd times I have done, the ratio of signal to noise seems to be the worst it's ever been.

Increasingly I'm left feeling that what I used to get from Reddit isn't even there anymore

I don't really hang out on Reddit anymore; I mostly get the impression that he crushed a mod rebellion from stories like these that refer to a mod rebellion.

Ah, that makes more sense...

He didn't crush any rebellion?

I still read reddit

I'd say these two comments rather contradict each other. Reddit doesn't care about the quality, they care about their active user count

People giving up and still adding to that count in large numbers is what "crushing the rebellion" looks like, even if they're doing it ironically or judgementally

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I imagine that this public reddit doesn't care about that; They are instead interested tn engagement and sinjing to the lowest common denominator. Quality control only matters when it hurts engagement.

All too accurate, the apicalypse was just another step to change the demographic of Reddit from users posting good and interesting content but demanding features and complaining about bugs to users posting acceptable content while not complaining as much about bugs and missing features.

If modern social media trends have shown us anything, it's that content quality could be shit and it doesn't matter if there will be thousands - if not millions- of people swarming to view it.

Nothing against you btw, it's just a general frustration I have with trying to move focus away from these sites

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

I completely understand, quantity is also a quallity.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

Meh, whatever, the marketing team must be working hard at making it seem appealing before the IPO.
