#Reddit Stock Plummets After AI Forces A Surprise Announcement - The dream of an open internet continues to die following the news that Reddit will begin forcing people to be logged in to an account in order to browse its trove of arcane user insights and discussions. The reason seems clear: Google #AI overviews are robbing the platform blind.
“While extraordinarily useful and powerful, AI search solves a different problem than Reddit,” Reddit cofounder Steve Huffman told investors during the company’s quarterly earnings call this week. “AI does not fulfill people’s fundamental need for community, connection, and belonging with other people, and it lacks context and nuance.”

#reddit is a pioneer in fake #bot engagement
the founders of reddit are on record saying 99% of the first userbase/ comments of reddit were all fakes:

Just like many other social media corporations #Reddit is planning to require biometric / ID verification* of some users.
To get ahead of this, I have prepared an alternative for everyone :)
🎉 ...and just launched our rapidly growing #DeMeta Reddit community on a journey into the #Fediverse!
People can now also DeMeta on #Lemmy:

Reddit: humans welcome (bots must wear name tags)
"… Before there was AI slop, there was slop. It’s not a new problem, and it’s one that Reddit, with its voting and moderation system, is better than most at dealing with.
Things are changing quickly, and we’ll adapt as best we can. We welcome any thoughts and criticism."

Om meer te leren over modereren en hoe je het online een beetje gezellig houdt heb ik de afgelopen tijd mijn licht opgestoken bij onder meer #Blacksky en een moderator van een #Ajax forum op #Reddit. Dat heeft geresulteerd in deze aflevering van de reeks artikelen (niet te verwarren met toots) over het open sociale web en de mogelijkheden daar voor NRC. Dit is een cadeaulink om de verhuizing van het NRC-account naar deze server te vieren ;) https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2026/10/08/hoe-houd-je-het-online-veilig-en-opbouwend-het-moeilijke-werk-van-moderatoren-a4938213?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=clipboard&utm_campaign=share&utm_term=share-modal&gift_token=4938213~1792072949~YeQG_J0IEeKfgABQVoV_mg~vRl--Z9m5k0eEFGHAVkSMaRNyXynzshz7fO49y_5yWU
Ik vind dat collega Martien ter Veen het artikel prachtig heeft geïllustreerd.

NSFW 18 year olds gone wild?
The Philippines is looking to ban Discord and Reddit unless they setup offices in just 24hrs. As CICC seek to blame platforms for school shootings. There is a pattern globally of internet access facing restrictions as the web gets the blame for social problems with multiple complex causes. #philippines #discord #reddit
I made a new account on #Reddit just to answer a question from someone who was stuck on the current No Man's Sky expedition (I was stuck there too and know the solution to the problem).
I won't be spending time on there anymore because all the reasons I left in the first place are still there, but it's worse than ever now. So much garbage. "Earn money on reddit," a billion ridiculous and childish "awards," and the vomit-worthy AI that pops up when you're searching for something.
As I suspected when I left, them going IPO sent them straight to the toilet. They were already halfway there but they've hit the metaphorical goal like an asteroid crashing into the planet. Ew.

Reddit rolled 'LLM Powered' AutoMod to automatically detect and delete posts that are not following community rules.
I am being neutral in the situation, but false deletion might still happens, because LLMs are still machine, they can't decide nuances yet.

Z jednej strony chcę, by więcej osób przeszło na fediverse, z drugiej strony boję się, że nagle fediverse stanie się toksyczne, bo przejdą tu najgorsze osoby ze zwykłych social mediów (Ala twitter/x, bluesky i niektóre osobniki z tumblr oraz reddit)

I canceled my HP instant ink subscription, and now I can’t print even though they are genuine HP in cartridges : r/mildlyinfuriating
I haven't used #Reddit in a whole bunch of years, but I'm wondering if I should start looking at a #Fediverse version of Reddit and which ones are out there right now.
I think I read somewhere that they could connect to #Mastodon
Maybe that'll be my digging around project for this afternoon
