I just have to laugh.
Fuck reddit! I’m here now!
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.
They’ve show their true colours.
For me it was the CEO’s comments.
🤌 For me it was the advocating for death of delivery drivers (poor people)
What was that about?
Basically just “Why I got to tip poor people 🤬”
Weird stuff showing up on popular that ain’t right. Albeit I thread comments by controversial when possible

Honestly I’ve been addicted to reddit for several years, and it even had negative consequences for my life. When I was depressed I just used reddit all day and became obsessed with the subreddit moderated. I deleted that account and now I’m in a much better place but that constant urge to open reddit is still there.
Before July 1 my reddit usage was around 2 hours every day, now it’s been 0 for 5 days.
So I’d like to Thank Reddit admins for this.

the only thing I miss about reddit is how much more diversity it had. cause let’s face it, there just isn’t as much content here. it’s also how I stayed caught up on current events

Happy for you friend! I also went from a few hours a day to nothing. Wasn’t trying to improve myself, it was just out of sheer rage at how things were being done over there. Any time I would log in I would feel self hatred and just end up making lengthy comments about spez being an asshole.
Question, have you tried replacing the hobby? I’ve found hiking and writing - (writing lyrics/other things as I hike/walk) to provide even more enjoyment than I was getting online 24/7
I put a time management app on my phone for that. After 5 minutes, reddit was blocked for an hour. Max time on app, 30 minutes a day.
Holy shit your username brought back memories. I wonder what K.A.Applegate is up to these days.
It’s amazing how fast Reddit went from my favorite place to be online to a trash heap
It’s somehow worse than ifunny
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.
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.)
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.
Honestly, at this point, my plan is to nuke my account. The only communities on their that I really check that aren’t on here have devolved into mindless rage-bait. Probably a so-long and good riddance situation.
No one regrets getting banned from digg.
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, but they still are letting themselves be held hostage.
r/interestingasfuck still doesn’t have moderators. It’s been closed for 18 days now.

or else what? They’ll bring in paid moderators to do an actual job?
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.
i’m still using Reddit for porn, but for other topics i already spend more time on Lemmy. the switch is tough, but they definitely can be replaced.
Even porn looks more boring, not sure if it’s just me or content really suffered from all this.
Gay porn suffered long ago from people just promoting their onlyfans. Annoying af.
That happened to all porn, it got disgusting.
I want to see real people sharing their sexuality, not people faking it for money.
“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.
There is a whole set of users who apparently think the mods are in the wrong and that Reddit is right. Whether these are real users, and not armies of bots using ChatGPT to generate content, is up for debate. (But they’re definitely bots lol)
The admins were also deleting comments. I had at least a few disappear without explanation or notice. Could be many more, I have no way of even knowing.
Reddit decides to “crack down” on the protests instead of realizing that it’s all because they’re being jerks.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
