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.

Jfc that thumbnail of Huffman's face triggered me. How did he manage to make his face look MORE punchable??

It's referring to that after-hours part.

Reddit has said it is working to convince logged-out users to create accounts as logged-in users, which are more lucrative for its business.

By "convince," they mean:

  • Popup to automatically sign in with Google
  • A button right under where you close that popup that shows a QR code to install the app
  • Bottom bar on mobile telling you to make an account
  • Clicking an upvote or downvote button instantly sending you to the account signup page, even if clicked by accident
  • Full-screen popup only on mobile to download the app if you're accessing anything NSFW (includes posts that simply have too much vulgar language, and are considered "NSFW" in that community, as well as any account page for an account that has ever made an NSFW post)

Yes, very convincing, heavily coercive even!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

Cant open any unverified communities, which is very arbitrary, any small community now requires the app

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 hours ago

I love when I'm troubleshooting something, click on a record link from like 2018, and get a modal encouraging me to "join this trending conversation!"

Just deleted my account I've had for the past... six years.

Reddit shares plunge after missing engagement numbers due to fall off following enshitification

Lol fake news would never admit that a company got punished for taking a dump on its user baze's heads

It's almost like communication platforms shouldn't have profitability as their main goal... maybe they could be... distributed... like some sort of... federation. Yeah. That's it. Then everyone would follow along like... lemmings or something

Fuck spez

Close, but that's Texas Gov Abbott. Easy mistake, as they're both giant pieces of shit.

Reddit has benefited from Google search updates and internal site improvements that have helped it gain a significant amount of new and returning users, which the social company refers to as logged-out users, over the past year and a half. Reddit has said it is working to convince logged-out users to create accounts as logged-in users, which are more lucrative for its business.

Expect to see more login paywall bullshit from Reddit.

[–] [email protected] 60 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

The best way to increase the usage base of a social media site is to block people from accessing it. Everybody knows that.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 8 hours ago (7 children)

Lol. I was perma banned cause I said something mean about Trump.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

I commented on a sub with an alt that I was banned from without knowing, it was public freakout on the front page, I went through all the stages of grief, left an abusive relationship that took all my time

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I was "suspended" (by the admins, from the whole site -- not just banned by mods from a particular subreddit) because I accurately reported misinformation in r/conservative and the snowflake mods whined that it was "report abuse."

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 hours ago

lol, I was making fake Gmail and Reddit accounts just to mess with people in r/Conservative lol…good times,.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 hours ago

I suggested Ukraine started attacking back at Russian civil infrastructure after Russia attacked a shopping mall.

Spez did not like that one bit, since he's a Russia supporter.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 hours ago

Every ban is a potential new fedi enjoyer

There isn’t one damn thing that shit hole site could ever do to get me to log back in.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

It's too bad when one person on planet Earth has published a solution to a problem you have. And it's some random commenter on Reddit from a few years ago. And under optimal conditions, the only thing to do would be to give a little thank you.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

Vaat majority of time that account is deleted, banned, or inactive

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

What if every time you logged back in Spez would get kicked in the balls?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 hours ago

Fuck. You found one of my many weaknesses.

In other news, Lemmy stock mooned infinity% from 0.00 to 0.00 plus beans.

The stock’s valuation makes no sense at all. A market cap of 38 billion on no revenue and declining growth?

Get fucked, Spez.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 hours ago

Oh boy, wait til you see Tesla!

As the saying goes, "The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent."

“It primarily affects logged-out users in the U.S.,” he said. “This one was particularly interesting because there really was a swing down, but then a recovery shortly thereafter happened right at the end of the quarter.”

Show me the graph, spez. Pics or it didn't happen!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 hours ago

Has there been an r/place since 2023's epic FUCK SPEZ?

[–] wise_pancake 11 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

It’s only like a month of stock increases, they’re still up 300% since IPO.

I’m not logging in out creating an account, I deleted my hobby account a few months ago and I do not miss participating in Reddit.
