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.

Why does his head look like that?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 42 minutes ago

Its a side effect of a diet that is a little too heavy on the pineal glands, so, I was told.

Bros face looks like my cats anus while sliding a cookie out.

-13% after hours on one day is huge. Many stock markets having emergency stops if the main index drops by 10% in a day.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 hours ago

It's referring to that after-hours part.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 minutes ago

With the power of ai they managed to create the most punchable face ever. So he only had to follow the blueprint laid out for him.

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!

So glad I got banned from that site (Not for anything wrong, I just pissed off the wrong power hungry mods which resulted in a site wide ban.)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 minutes ago

Same here. The mods there are just power-hungry wankers.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 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!"

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

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

I always thought he was a little piss baby but pigboy works too

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 hours ago

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] 68 points 12 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] 27 points 11 hours ago (7 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 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] 10 points 10 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 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] 16 points 11 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] 20 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 minutes ago

They should make an app for that.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 10 hours ago

Fuck. You found one of my many weaknesses.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] Rentlar 61 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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.

“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!
