reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).

the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.

another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.

size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.

we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.

I’m new here, fleeing reddit and it’s war on anonymity. Happy to be here!

I created my account on Lemmy.world, and yesterday learned how to subscribe to communities on other servers.

I was adding a few from Lemmy.ml, but hit a snag with a couple, using the ‘Privacy’ community as my example: when I hit ‘subscribe’ and enter ‘Lemmy.world’ as the instance to follow from, I just get a white page with ‘Server error’.

I left it 24hrs and tried again, and its still the same.

Any hints?

@realms we might have a conversation about that at some point :)

saddened & sickened to hear that big walk was made using Unity

@jpeisach seeeeeeecret

ChanHaeng Lee (@2chanhaeng), one of the @fedify maintainers, is asking the #fediverse which of his two projects he should present in the Social Web devroom at @fosdem 2027.

@drfed is an #ActivityPub debugging tool that he is building with @z9mb1, @gaebalgom, and me. fedi.blue (https://fedi.blue) is a library for servers that interoperate over both ActivityPub and the AT Protocol. Both would make good talks, which is why I would rather the audience picked.

The poll closes on 13 November 2026, so vote for the one you would rather sit through. #Fedify has three maintainers now, and all three of us are going to #FOSDEM 2027 and submitting proposals to the devroom. (The CFP is open until 27 November 2026 if you have a talk of your own.)

Pretty sure there others too.

the soup chapter in Moby Dick is severely underrated

Not sure if it did DM’s, but there’s about 1,000 Roan Cong accounts atm. They make a new one send 1-4 posts and make a new account, with a new domain after a few accounts.

@mcc Most modern WasPU's have advanced branch manager prediction algorithms.

@jalefkowit since the people have rejected nazis and pedophiles, we have decided to appoint our biggest nazi to the top position in the white house and our biggest pedo defender to the top position in congress

@yatil @jeridansky Wow!! This looks awesome! Thank you for sharing!

@hacks4pancakes "the most unlikable person in the peer group figured out that you put your personal diary upside down so people wouldn't read "DIARY" embossed on the front and read it because you didn't want to be inconvenienced by the clasp and lock it came with, and read all of it"?

It reminds me a little of the old internet. I like how relatively small it feels, and that people post content for the sake of the content, not to promote themselves. I haven’t found my usual corners yet, the ones I used to hang out in on older platforms, but I figure that’s just a matter of time. I’m not super nostalgic for the old internet or anything, but it’s nice to find at least a hint of something human-centered somewhere.

I hope it doesn’t fall apart and that it keeps growing.

I was skeptical when I switched to Linux, but then I ditched Windows on my dual boot for good. It was a hugely positive experience, and it really felt like freedom. I’m hoping this will be the same.

And don’t be mad at me if I act totally clueless here sometimes 'cause all that is new to me.
