I’m disappointed how few subreddits are daring to call their bluff, or put their full weight behind migrating. It’s clear reddit actually aren’t able to replace moderators that easily.
It’s for the reason you names that I’m extra disappointed in the mods that “stepped up”.
Seriously. I never want to hear how hard it is to mod a subreddit with existing mod tools again. They’ve rolled over for spez (which is their right) and they don’t get to complain about it anymore.
r/interestingasfuck still doesn’t have moderators. It’s been closed for 18 days now.
not so easily to find free labor when you bully them right u/spez
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.
Honestly stopped caring about Reddit years ago. Mostly just used it to keep up to date on game releases. As long as I have a community-ran source for gaming news, I’m pretty happy.
Yeah after getting used to the not-totally-assholes community of lemmy I’m not going back to reddit. The community there kinda sucks
You have been banned from [random large subreddit] for pointing out something that threatens the hivemind POV.
Honestly, that was my biggest problem with the community. Granted, that’s great when someone is being a genuine asshole, but over the last decade or so, it has become a little ridiculous.

Reddit is slowly dying
But it isn’t. It’s growing and it will keep growing. Only a tiny percentage gives a shit about privacy and decentralization.
That said, I already much prefer Lemmy.
Where did they go?

Lol nice, loving these new domains
They are not new domains. .ml is the domain for Mali. .ee is from estonia. .website is a generic one. There’s a whole bunch of them, but you can’t just make something up. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_domains
GTLDs are still "new"ish…as in like 2012 lol.
Well uhh, new to me. Felt new in 2012 🤷

I’ve been hanging around on /r/StreetFighter since the SF6 beta dropped, and I honestly just wish they’d freaking move to Lemmy already or something. I dunno what other forums even exist for the fighting game community at this point outside of Reddit :(
“Post more porn!”
“The internet is for porn”
Intrinsic truths out there.
Wasn’t there once the CEO of a hard drive manufacturer companies who said in an interview “our hard drives are for porn”?
Just grab your dick and double-click…
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?
Not sure if it was just changed, but I see it has a Mature 17+ rating.
Same, I wonder if it’s changed because of all the drama? The rating dropped from like 4.3 to 3.2 stars in the last month, I’d guess people were also reporting it for having mature content.
They should be reporting it for not being a data compliant either, the app is marked that you have the ability to delete your data but in retrospect the only thing you can delete is your username, all your posts end up changing to deleted user but doesn’t actually get removed
Right now, the review score in Google Play reads as a 2.8. If I were someone who’d never heard of reddit before, and saw that average rating, I’d never install it.
Make all posts require mod aproval to make sure you comply with not allowing anything NSFW.
This is the way lol
Tell the Huff that he can take that final warning and shove it up his ass!
Honestly, this whole reddit thing is not even that interesting watching from the sidelines. It’s good for the occasional chuckle though.
I just have to laugh.
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
Amen to that! I’m not a super prolific poster here either, but compared to reddit I’m WAY more active, and it feels mre fun too. In 15 years on reddit I have only made 2 threads as far as I can remember, but on Lemmy (and Squabbles) I’ve been sharing my house plants recently and it feels great!
Yes, the community is much smaller, but also much kinder,and I the average age feels higher here too (I have zero data on it, but just judging by the writing style it feels like there’s a whole bunch of people roughly my age (40+) around these parts).
Yeah I definitely have the tendency to over estimate how old the people I’m talking to online are, but I agree that everyone here feels more like an adult lol
Quality has been dramatically better here than Reddit has been for many years. Finding people actually discussing the post in the comments is rare on Reddit, you have to sift through endless lines of off topic puns and memes being promoted by bots for karma farming. The goal of comments on Reddit is to be funny, not interesting or useful. The fediverse is more like Reddit eight or nine years ago, when they were figuring out their control algorithms, building their own bot network to game their own site (remember the subreddit where the reddit-built bots used to exclusively talk with each other for practice? I wonder what those bots are doing today…), and learning how to control the flow of information on their page while also finally making some things more stable.
I’m really curious if any parts of the fediverse can avoid the same pitfalls that Reddit eagerly jumped into. It’s probably doubtful since once the advertisers get here, greed will win. It always does. But maybe.
This has been my biggest complaint. Wanna read the discussion? Be prepared to dig for it. It’s awful.
The largest thing I’ve noticed right now is there’s almost no new content. Like at all. There was some repeating but not like right now.
I’m a mod and almost none of the small subs I mod for are transitioning off of reddit as yet.
I do need to learn to mod here…
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
I’m afraid to comment here because everyone will see it!
“According to most studies, people’s number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you’re better off in the casket than doing the eulogy.” ― Seinfeld
Quality over quantity everytime for me.
On top of that, I feel far more incentive to comment, upvote, and just generally engage here.
Overall this feels like a less hostile environment, without the clickish groupthink that had an army of bots or trolls out to downvote you.
People have mentioned the higher complexity of getting set up on instances as a barrier to entry for the masses. I say wonderful. I’ll take a small community of diverse, engaged people over the mobs of span, trolls, and parrots.
Leaving reddit for lemmy feels like finding a nice person who cares after being in along abusive relationship. Never realised how bad it was, or how good it could be.
Is it temporary? Who knows, but I’d rather spend my time making this into what I want then ever looking back.
Yeah, it’s nice to feel like I’m contributing something as opposed to trying to muscle my way into a conversation that doesn’t need 10,000 of the people who are commenting, commenting.
“This!” - 1.4k votes
[Exact same comment being parroted, but with a much more extreme fervor about killing people who disagree] - 600 votes
“Wait. That’s not even what the article says. We shouldn’t be jumping to conclusions.” - “You have been permanently banned from large subreddit.”
Get back to work or I’m going to give you more free time!
I literally only use Reddit for porn, and whilst Relay was working and still is, I get a warning that this isn’t possible unless I use the official app, or the website… All my mobile usage from Reddit has pretty much disappeared.
They should have back tracked, but doubling down is a death sentence for me. They can keep having posts, but 99% of them are already reposts from other sites - Reddit as a whole may as well be a combined Facebook style echo chamber and Tik Tok archive, because these days it doesn’t feel like it’s much else.
does everyone only use reddit for porn?
like shit i only use reddit for porn now i thought i was weird.
unless we’re both weird
I wonder if public freakouts was told to remove the NSFW tag. That sub definitely should have been NSFW all along.
My sub did switch to NSFW after the API change, but its definitely one that qualifies to have been NSFW the whole time, as its a subreddit that features stretched piercings, including all types of genitalia. In our ‘Final Warning’, reddit claims that our sub doesn’t qualify to be NSFW, proving that they didn’t even check the content within.
NonCredibleDefense is also in that situation. Often the popular posts are literal war footage including death or sexual assault. Recently they changed it back to SFW to comply with reddit’s request. Regardless of the content of each individual post, that subreddit as a whole is not appropriate for minors given the very nature of it.
He’s taking marching orders from Musk now to maximize IPO time, gonna be no walls to any content - except to ban anybody who thinks saying racial slurs is tacky and outdated.
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.
The quality of the work is not going go be the same though…
Do they care, though?
I mean, they will when those same powertripping mods begin banning over petty things. That’s how you get people to move from subreddits / Reddit.
That has always happened in Reddit. Nothing new.
That would invalidate their position as “we’re just a platform and not liable for the things our users post”. They’d have to take responsibility then and I’m not sure they’ve got the resources for that.
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.
Although, on Reddit we were always talking about musk and Twitter. Dumpster fires when the AIC (asshole in charge) deserves the harm coming to their profits and their website, it’s newsworthy and juicy content.
Although I do agree that it will slow to a trickle and then eventually stop. Not because the content stops being interesting to us, but because reffit will ultimately probably win in the end, they’re IPO will be profitable, they’ll continue down this enshittification road until FB make a Reddit competitor and then everyone that didn’t care about the API thing because they were too busy watching reruns of the Big Bang theory will move there. It’s the circle of tech life, eventually fb will own the internet
I found a cool rock while I was on a walk this week edit: my dudes you’re going to have to give me time to go back there it was a pretty big rock
B.S., I demand a picture.
Just leaving additional peer pressure here. WE WANT PICS!
Funny but Reddit actually has executed entire mod teams, and will continue to do so
They’re going to have to stop at some point though, because they need moderators. The platform can’t function without them. That’s why they’re sending these warnings in the first place, instead of just removing entire teams.
True. But there are tons of sycophant netizens who crave that tiny amount of power over their niche communities so that they can control at least something in their lives.
Executed!? Damn, spez is more powerful than I thought
