Anyone who still has an account there, I’d encourage you to use it to gently promote your favourite Fediverse website. There are a significant number of people asking about Reddit alternatives the last couple of days, and sending people directly to a specific suggested site (rather than just saying something like “Lemmy”) is more likely to get people to come over and check things out. It’s a shame there’s not some big social engagement event going on here right now. Anyone want to start some kind of viral shitpostery?

When I stopped using reddit a few years ago, I left my account intact because I had 18 years of posts that included a lot of tech help and other useful information that I figured people might stumble across. Last night, I used Redact to scramble all 5,521 comments.

There’s only one social media site that’s still the same as it was a decade ago. The only problem is that it was never good.

reddit is moving to “a bot-only experiment”

And I’m moving to an always logged out experience.

“During October, we have seen that search traffic has dropped by more than 1 million referrals on average per week. If this rate of decline continues, current trends would suggest that total DAUqs [or daily active unique users] could fall in Q4, by a low-double-digit percentage from our current base of 130 million DAUqs,” Huffman wrote. Weird that not allowing people to use your site would lower the number of people using your site.

Bit too late to “protect reddit’s valueable data”. First off, fuck you it’s not your data. 2nd, you’ve already sold everything, what is left to protect?

This is about monetizing AI scraping, right? Gonna be interesting to see how Reddit handles the bubble popping. They’ve torpedoed the regular user experience for it.

I thought this was already in place since September or so (maybe it’s explained in the article somewhere, I only skimmed it through - doesn’t really matter tho). It was fun to see discussion on this on HN, where so many commenters shared the view of leaving reddit for good after lurking became impossible. As one of those people, can’t wait for that shithole to burn to the ground. Or even better, become just a steaming pile of botfest.

Lemmy is the best
