None of this would be a issue if the lazy fucks would migrate to other platforms like Lemmy etc, right now this app is very limited compared to all the various subreddits, people need to start making replicas of the popular and niche subreddits and make it easier for people to migrate
zero fucks given,
Starting to be no fucks given for the users either, the constant enshitifaction is baked in so only masochists are left there.
I like how reddit allows moderators to just ban users with basically no appeal process.
What a great business plan. Allow randoms to decide who gets to keep being a customer
got a lot of accounts banned for ban evation. I can keep making new ones, create a couple of shitposts and you got enough karma to continue where you left
It’s hard to make a new account and not get flagged instantly.
You have to change ip address. Email, even the device you use
I can’t be bothered anymore so now I just don’t use reddit
reddit does have an official onion site
Regardless, they’ll still bend over & take it.
Why??? I will tell you my non expert opinion.
Reddit makes money by selling data to advertisement companies. Users that aren’t logged in are probably hard to track. They probably have a bunch of untargeted data they can’t sell for much.
Reddit does not actually care about the end users experience. They want you to use their site enough to provide them with sellable data. It’s like Facebook. Facebook could show you your friends posts in chronological order everyday but instead they throw in all this spam on your feed to keep you on the app. They can see what you’re interested in. If all you do is ‘like’ your friends baby pictures then that data would be hard to sell.
Fuck you, spez.
Whispering slurs from your mom’s basement don’t help.
Bros we need a better lemmy plan.
More content. And making spez super sad and poor.
Someone needs to build a Firefox extension to periodically poll best content from subreddits they like and automatically repost to lemmy. Automatically.
So there are tons more content on lemmy. U get it?Not self hosted docker - most people won’t bother setting up residential proxies and fight bans, no - just a real browser, simple extension and simple settings, with legit ublock and auto reposting to lemmy. This way people don’t have to do shit and content would just transfer.
It’s fair use because it’s for ai.
This will make spez sad and poorer. Let’s do this
I get what you say, but people already mirror Reddit posts on Lemmy, and post Lemmy content on Reddit
With a dull, rusty, red hot spoon.
Well on the bright side I found this place
welcome to Lemmy
Fuck Spez, but also, is this is amateur hour?
First off, don’t use new Reddit. Second, run Reddit in desktop mode. Third, use a browser like Firefox so you can run RES and UBlock Origin.
Congratz, Reddit as it should be is fully functional on your phone.
on iphone there are no browser extensions except in safart (im keeping this typo) their dogshit browser
they force all browsers to use applewebkit engine
old.reddit works on mobile, but you need 1 Firefox extension the fixes the mobile styling.
And you’re using old reddit with RES like the good old days, but on mobile.
i had this perfect on chrome til one day it just went to desktop styling and now i gotta zoom in on every comment
Yeah not using the app
I don’t know why they bitch…they’re just going right back. weak
it takes some people mnay attempts to get out of an abusive relationship
I’m so glad I was permabanned with no possible way to ever login under any new or existing username ever again. That’s the only they could keep me away. It’s been healthy for me.
One thing I like about Lemmy is I’m less prone to doom scrolling. I just make a few comments a day and monitor the results. Their server limitations serve as an incentive to make a less addictive product.
I’m in the same boat. I’ve had more productive conversations/debates with people on here in 6 months than 12 years on reddit.
I agree as far as politics, but for everything else I like - music, guitars, cats, animals - Lemmy is sadly lacking.
https://old.reddit.com/ is still working fine for me.
If Lemmy would pick up some more content about RVs and sailing I would leave there but meanwhile the old way still works.
Yeah came to say the same. I have a few subreddits I still lurk in because lemmy doesn’t have the largest communities on that topic yet. I imagine it is only a matter of time before old reddit is gone.
How much are you posting about RVs and sailing on Lemmy?
We can yell into the abyss all we want, but the abyss isn’t yelling back.
But if you yell into the abyss this may cause someone to yell back
Our niche interest communities are slowly being formed on the Fediverse, but if nobody participates then 🤷🏼♀️
Yep, I remember when I first joined Lemmy, you’d be lucky if your post got 2 comments. I recently posted on a car group here and got about as much engagement as I would have on r*ddit.
I like it here, I like our community. Feels like a comic con in a small city. “I wish people at this con would talk about Squirrel Girl” maybe you should set up a booth. Same applies here.
reddit Reddit Reddit reddit.
Wtf does censoring it do?
Ever tried getting the stick removed from your ass?
You could answer the question
Agreed. I was all confused AF until I realized that people don’t automatically use it, or using the auto-redirect apps that help prevent New Reddit from ever showing its face.
It only works on some things. You’ll still get the pop-up sometimes, even through old.
So I’ve tested this with Brave and it does indeed come up, however with IronFox I haven’t had a problem so far.
How do I block Google from recommending reddit without that command? The Google reddit partnership is always putting reddit on top 😡
The question is why the hell are you still directly connecting to google servers. Aggregate it with a public SearXNG instance that way your traffic is masked with others also using that instance.
Alternatively you can use Startpage but that’s proprietary, and iirc have been making some poor decisions as of late.
Could you fill me in on those decisions you mentioned from Startpage? I’ve been trusting it for a while now but don’t really keep up with a whole lot of things.
RIP reddit. We knew this day would come. At least Spez will have plenty of bot accounts to keep him company.
To me, it died when they allowed users to hide their post and comment history. Enables bots and bad faith behavior.
I got this a bit ago, so I just keep deleting my cookies and it works again.
Check redlib out as well: https://redlib.catsarch.com/ https://reddit.fsky.io/
If you just use Firefox strict privacy mode. That does that work for you. Recommend it for all sites
