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.

lol, now you will have to pay to get banned.

[–] credo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You’re new here, did you get banned? Welcome!

[–] pinheadednightmare@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

Thanks. Was banned in a couple subs, but mainly I haven’t left because I was looking for a replacement… and I found it.

Welcome to Lemmy former redditors

The revolution will be televised; behind a paywall.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 52 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The revolution will have a subscription.

[–] RQG@lemmy.world 22 points 3 weeks ago

You will not own the revolution and you will like it.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 55 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Thanks. I just switched - apparently just in time!

The only subreddit you need is

r/redditseppuku

Some subreddits, like r/Watchexchange, where Redditors “buy, sell or trade watches,” according to the subreddit’s description, are centered on transactions. Huffman said the fact that users are already “transacting on Reddit kind of opens the door” for such monetization.

"Hey! How dare you exchange things with each other without giving us a cut!"

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 98 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Whole lot of “Reddit, what are you going to do about the scammers now that we’re paying you?” posts are coming. The answer is nothing. They’ll do nothing.

Actually, they’ll write their lack of culpability more explicitly into the ToS, and then do nothing.

I’m wondering how they would charge people. Who would pay for a subreddit they’ve never been to? Could a non-paying user view the subreddit but be unable to post/comment?

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 36 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Could a non-paying user view the subreddit but be unable to post/comment?

Doubtful. If I remember the statistic correctly, 95% of social media users are lurkers. Greedy Little Pigboy wouldn't pass up the opportunity to milk the remaining 19/20 users.

Yes let's put a site that consists pretty much entirely of user-created content behind a paywall, what could possibly go wrong?

[–] ef9357@lemmy.world 60 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Well, Spez is a special kind of stupid.

[–] vegantomato@lemmy.world 30 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I think people who are content with Reddit being the way it is deserve someone like Spez.

It'll be the porn they charge for.

They know only wankers will give them money.

[–] TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee 48 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

What’s funny about that is Reddit is mostly just an advertising front for onlyfans at this point

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 19 points 3 weeks ago

I mean yeah, and that's the piece of the pie they want. It will start with letting content creators charge and probably end by some ban or disincentive on direct only fans links.

Well, that’s the death of the free* forum. Went from BBS to newsgroups to phpBB to Reddit, each soft-killing its predecessor. But like WalMart killing Main Street, Reddit is going to kill the free forum.

Thank goodness for Lemmy and other free* social network software.

*free with the asterisk because we know it’s not free, we are enjoying the service that others volunteer to pay for.

Reddit executives also discussed how they might introduce more ads into the social media platform.

Oh how exciting!

[–] WhatSay@slrpnk.net 50 points 3 weeks ago

It's not even worth using for free

[–] psoul@lemmy.world 49 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I hope all the lemmy instances are ready for a surge of users. Let's encourage redditors to join Lemmy and learn the kinks and quirks by trial and error. Let's be kind to the newcomers.

I was going to say something snarky about how they're going to fail because who would pay for social media, then I remembered blue checkmarks.

Watch them fuck up the implementation and suffer the worst PR disaster in recent history when they slap a paywall on r/suicidewatch.

Imagine paying actual money for shitty memes and mean comments.
