Fuck reddit, I got banned from Worldnews for asking when Ukraine would attack other targets. I was banned for “call for violence” it was a lost about the war. So stupid
I got banned for suggesting a man who violently pushed a woman off a bike should be pushed himself. Lmao “advocating for violence”
Fuckin’ spineless idiots
Pretty sure worldnews is modded by the same people as r/Zion. It’s so easy to get banned from there - just call a genocide a genocide
Last time I’ve been using search on Reddit (ages ago) normal search already produced shitty, useless results. And now he wants to make it even worse by throwing in AI?
Can’t wait to pay for the privilege of visiting /r/sinkpissers
Subscription models are finally coming to Reddit! It’s about time those greedy bastards start milking their userbase.
“Reddit CEO teases new ways to damage and eventually kill Reddit”
To go along with your shitty AI written articles!
Thanks, I hate it
Imagine if reddit makes porn subreddits paid
If there’s one thing that united the Internet, it’s don’t fuck with our porn. It’s how Tumbler died, pornhub lost over 95% of their videos, and it’ll put the final nail in reddit if they try it.
Tumblr isn’t fully dead it is just dying. I still find many people on there posting art.
Well, glad I jumped ship after the api fee fiasco. I never even used the mobile app, but the tone deaf/elonification, I was done. That’s right he got the great idea from Musk. How’s that IPO working out?
He doesn’t care. His goal is to extract money, period. He’s incredibly jealous of his former colleagues who cashed out for millions. He’s a greedy little pigboy.
While I do miss the subs with thousands, and the very obscure subs for my specific interest, this shit makes me glad I got out
What makes me sad is how a lot of niche communities moved from websites to Reddit, and now they are going to die.
Do you think they will move to lemmy?
No. Most of those communities are dwindling away. The guitar forums on Reddit are all AI shit repost bots. Luckily there are a few good YouTube channels to still get information, but there is no discussion.
Don’t worry, won’t be long for thousands join Lemmy when Reddit tries the Musk way of running a company into the ground :)
I know the average person usually doesn’t care, but surely most of the population of reddit must have realized how shit it is by now.
what a goddamn shithole. the dark thing about this is that they will continue to retain the critical mass of users and they know it. it’s where the most users and content are. so many communities were completely erased during the mod strike and it didn’t matter. they knew they would be completely fine. the future is an authoritarian world effectively governed by companies like this.
The future?
The present, but also the future, too.
Don’t forget the past

That’s what many social media companies have said, lol.
But the sad thing is many communities will (and already have) move to Discord. Which is even worse, as Discord is a siloed information black hole.
I still don’t know how that works. Discord seems like the worst possible substitute for reddit. It doesn’t work at all the same way and search sucks.
Yah, I don’t get this. So I log into Discord to ask a question, and the only people that will see it are the ones that are currently on at the time. The likelihood of it being seen by the person that can answer it are low, and it’s not like it’s going to be visible for when that person logs back in. This is all besides the fact that I could probably have answered it myself with a search of old questions on some platform that can be indexed. It’s utterly bizarre.
If you’re running a FOSS project or a community that needs support, you have rocks in your goddamn head if you think Discord is how to do it.
The one thing Discord is good at is engagement, aka pinging people on their phones, repeating conversations that have been answered a million times, getting people drawn into rambling discussions…
Yeah it’s kind of a nightmare lol.
Exactly instead of a bunch of publicly searchable information silos we have a whole bunch of fragmented private ones with absolutely no overlap and far less useful. We need a publicly funded site of some kind.
They’re not private. Advertisers have full access and that’s what actually matters.
It’s the most popular alternative, simple as that. There’s (sadly) no where else obvious the average community knows to go.
I’m getting closed to hosting an XMPP server and getting the fuck off discord. They can rot in hell
Yeah as soon as I am directed to discord for anything , I move on with something else in life instead.
Discord is such a piece of fucking shit
Fixing reddit search? Just insert a 2021 google search bar on old.reddit. I just saved you millions you dingus. Thank goodness Aaron Swartz doesn’t have to see what happened to his joint venture.
Remember when they tried to pretend he was not really involved? And then the time the removed his name? Insert pepperage farm meme graphic.
Twitter made a great job with the paid blue check. It’s so much easier now to detect an idiot just by looking if they have a paid blue check. In Reddit it will be the same. If someone joins a paid sub, you can already say they are an idiot.
Why do you think these people are idiots? I believe Twitter promotes content posted by paid users. Last time I was on Twitter (about a year ago), they were planing to exclude regular users from the “smart” feed. Plus, people could write longer posts instead of threads. Unlike with reddit gold, I see real benefits for content creators.
Mods are probably asking for paid subs. They would view it as an easy tool to prevent new spam accounts.
Wouldn’t private subs solve that?
