I just have to laugh.
Fuck reddit! I'm here now!

Fuck reddit! I'm here now!
Right? The first few days I was worried it just wouldn’t be the same, but the slower upload of content here has made me browse when I want to without over browsing endlessly. The less active comment sections means I can interact with more people without being buried…it’s just better. And I’m excited to see it grow
I think I’ve been afraid to comment on Reddit because I assume no one will read it or I won’t have anything novel to say. But I definitely agree that I like the smaller community here
It's a shame how shabbily reddit's board and u/spez (and his lackeys) have treated reddit's users and mods. They benefited enormously from free content and hours of unpaid moderation, yet they chose to throw it all away.
This screams “Please stop this and go back to doing work for free.” They keep threatening but know they need the free labor.
If Reddit goes down, what articles will pcmag decide to write about then?
And what will people post on lemmy about?
I mean sure posts about Reddit makes us seem like the bitter ex, but they are to be expected, since it's the only thing all Lemmy users have in common: Being ex-Redditors. It will stop naturally with time.
Lemmy is already busy complaining about meta
Don't worry we'll find something
I'm disappointed how few subreddits are daring to call their bluff, or put their full weight behind migrating. It's clear they actually aren't able to replace moderators that easily.
r/interestingasfuck still doesn't have moderators. It's been closed for 18 days now.
“We are now stuck in a difficult position as we do not want the community to die”
Feels to me like they dug their own grave and now complain that the user's are problem.
What are they expecting after they remove moderators and remove the nsfw status? That the users keep posting? They aren't dumb and I could imagine that some or most people will probably stop posting there.
or else what? They'll bring in paid moderators to do an actual job?
There's idiots lining up out the door to get a taste of fake power.
Reddit admins writing warning letters like I title project files. lastlastLASTFINAL-v1.3forreal.doc warning
It's amazing how fast Reddit went from my favorite place to be online to a trash heap
"This is your final warning, please migrate to FOSS platforms"
TBH I Don't care about reddit now, I'm more into lemmy or squabble now. If its user base grows or declines I Don't care, I'm out of reddit and I'm not going back.
Reddit are past the point of no return for me. They could reverse all their API changes but I'm not going back. They've show their true colours.
The final warning was enough to cause the moderators for r/Military—a forum partly devoted to helping veterans—to stop operating as a NSFW subreddit. “We are now stuck in a difficult position as we do not want the community to die,” the moderator team wrote.
Cowards.
I dont know what everyone was expecting. Enduring nonsensical rules, shitty working conditions and incompetent authority figures is about the most military thing there is.
this is sad when years of work, sweat and commitment wasted WITHOUT GETTING PAID to keep a community alive and full of information to get stamped and threatened by a dickhead
"It’s not OK to show people NSFW content when they don’t want to see it,”
You know what else isn't ok!!!!! Fucking over the entire population of reddit users to churn over some short term profits!
I hope spez buys a yacht or something!
People still use Reddit?
The grand majority of reddit users have more in common with tictok users than forum users. The lowest common denominator is the biggest user base.
They doom scroll and satisfy their addiction, many are kids, they really don't really care about information manipulation, quality content, discussion quality....etc
So they will stay, and the niche groups, those that care and contribute in quality ways, tend to be pushed out.
Get back to work or I'm going to give you more free time!
The only thing reddit cant do it stop people just not using reddit. All these protests really arent that effective as people leaving reddit and going elsewhere (hopefully lemmy tho.)
Gotta love the ones that are actually NSFW that they want changed to not. Naked selfies is pretty much the tip of the iceberg with Cyberpunk, with a lot of gore and violence and sex underneath. And there's some truly fucked up shit that I don't even want to describe that's there too, as a side quest continuation of main story events.
The reddit app is only marked PG and not 18+ in the Google Play store - maybe someone should let them know about the content that's not behind nsfw filters any more?
I wonder if public freakouts was told to remove the NSFW tag. That sub definitely should have been NSFW all along.
I only go to Reddit now because of one or two forums that don't exist on here yet, But the more I see stories like this, the more I'm inclined to just say screw it and nuke my account.
We should direct everyone on Reddit to Lemmy. Then, (this is copy pasted, I'm not a bot) add an option to the third party apps for Lemmy so you can opt in to ads that support your instance and the platform. Force me to use your bullshit app so you can make more money? Fuck you. I came here from Reddit. But I'd opt in to ads to support something that is clearly better.
I just got bored with reddit trying to make money through their users.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
