Fucked off everyone who did the work from a place of passion and knowledge and replaced them with power-hungry shills WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG
What the fucks a reddit?
Someplace that never learned from Digg.

Nobody will know in 10 years
If it helps give a bit of reassurance, I grew up after the Digg era, and I didn’t even know it was a thing until the whole Reddit thing.
Maybe in ten years time, the next generation will be the same about Reddit, or at least, one can only hope.
Removed by mod
If enough people program bots to repost to Lemmy, literally nothing. Right now, reddit’s only success over Lemmy is historical conversations/recommendations/tips.
They specifically mention open kettle canning as a bad practice. My friend and I were canning something and he wasn’t sure we were doing it right. He called his mom and she said she had always done open kettle canning (where you basically just pouring boiling temp food into hot jars and seal them). I guess experts have soured on the practice.
Either way, we made our cans the “right” way after lots of googling and none of the jars seemed to fail.
While I sympathize with the moderators, I would assume that historically most subs are not moderated by experts, but yes, a decrease in quality mods and mod tools will choke reddit to death.

Thanks to Reddit i learned Docker and everything needed to self-host a lot of cool stuff - without even visiting Reddit.
Exactly, thanks to Lemmy, I now face a life dilemma of either scrolling the same posts for an hour or starting my day. Fuck.
Lul
i don’t understand why anyone voluntarily works for those dipshits
Because it used to be a nice stable free platform to build a community around your own interests
Exactly. There was a time when using Reddit didn’t feel like you were giving Reddit the company anything for free. There was a transaction happening. They provided a platform to interact with like-minded people, and in return you used that platform, thereby drawing more traffic to their site.
i understand the idea, i’m just not sure i can remember those days anymore on that platform… it’s a good idea…
Is this the part where “it will just blow over” that Spez was talking about?
Did for me, at least. Having a “slower” version of reddit has done wonders for me. I’ve been able to get the news updates on Lemmy, but there isn’t a deluge of dopamine hits in my feed like Reddit. It’s done wonders for me.
Delete your account
Wow. They want me to install the app to read this.
Same with any NSFW content. Lame
I ended up creating a new account with a throwaway email because my old accounts got banned
Since deleting my account on July 2, I just don’t care enough about Reddit to create a burner account or download their app.
No need for an account, you can still use old.reddit.com for the rare occasion you need to read something. If you’re on mobile, append
.ito the end of the old Reddit URL (but before?if there is one).With the stealth app available on f-droid you can view all content without an account.
Its what i use for occasionally reddit browsing and viewing nsfw content on there.
They’ll ban your new account too once you post something.
Spez said they’re not killing Old Reddit, but he also said they weren’t going to pull an Elon either.
One of my favorite outcomes of the purge is when I occasionally look at Reddit, I’ll see an enthusiastically titled post from oldfreefolk, with ZERO replies. Are those goofballs over here anywhere, I’d love a bit more of bobbyb in my life.
What’s this? Oh no! The consequences of my actions!
I’m sure I speak for all of us when I express my utter shock at this unforeseen turn of events.
As with traditional Reddit PR: Reddit will comment when there’s correction to be made. Since Reddit made no correction, the article is 100% accurate.
The (impending disaster of an) IPO can proceed, they don’t care about the rest. Content quality doesn’t mean squat until it affects ad revenue.
Eh, they’ll sell their stocks once the IPO hits. They’ll leave with a tonne of money and Reddit can burn. They don’t care, they never did
None of the forcibly removed mods I spoke with have worked with or plan to work with replacement mods to pass on knowledge gained through years of experience.
None of them should. Let reddit deal with the consequences of their actions, trying to fix it for them would be telling them it’s ok to treat free labor as shit (as they did).
They never found the right people in the first place, theres just a lot of dice rolls, luck and fragmentation.
Most mods were never experts.
They lost a lot of their more level-headed reditors as things started getting more toxic though
Pissing off your free labor has consequences? Shocker.
When some credulous techbro babbles about “free speech” they either ignore or like the cryptofascist and kiddie creeping shit that pours through if there’s no filter system.
For real? You’re really suggesting that anybody who says they’re for free speech is actually a fascist pedophile?

It’s their seemingly favorite image macro. A pig shitting on its own balls.
Mass purging leads to bad outcomes? That’s not what all my tankie friends said!
Gotta purge the right people
— every genocidal manic ever
worked for us, sounds like a skill issue
Letting fascists into a community just turns that community into a community of fascists. This isn’t new information. But maybe you’re fine with that.
Even your username sounds irony poisoned in a techbro way.

Well that’s certainly unique
