reddit is still great
My Reddit account is 18 years old and I can tell you that Reddit hasn’t been “great” since 2013; the year of Drumpf vs HIllDawg for US President. Heck I still have over 2 years of “Reddit Premium” from the zillions of tokens I got back when they gave those away.
I was never ejected, still haven’t been, and I moderated some noteable subs. The API debacle and the shutdown of unofficial apps was my last straw. I removed myself from all the mod teams I was on and bailed over to Lemmy.
Reddit still has some cool communities but as a platform it’s best days are long gone. At this point its coasting on inertia just like Facebook.
In entirely predictable news;
#JensenHuang Resigns From #Nvidia After Affairs
The longtime head of the chip-making colossus admitted to an affair with a woman identified as a spy for China. He was also said to have had a relationship with an executive who reported to him.

I see the point but I don’t necessarily agree. Before the intense commercialization Reddit had definitely changed for the worse for me because of the influx of people.
I stopped talking about Linux because Winbros would brigade me. I stopped talking about politics because I would be brigaded by western/capitalist bros. The discussions also got a lot worse over time and nuanced opinion was almost always down voted and brigaded.
I fear the same would happen for lemny if we suddenly had a hundred million users. Having a good community is desirable, but having a ton of people not so much so.
How bad are app review times nowadays? Finally got an update to Pixel Pals submitted that I'm stoked about, but curious how much pain I'm in for

We are on Lemmy, so yeah, they are here. Just take a look at how many people are defending Russia invading its neighboring country and murdering the people there. Or try calling Xi Jingping a dictator who is doing a genocide on the Uighurs.
Active shooter reported in the Logan Circle area of DC. Several people are said to be wounded and I am seeing a huge police response and increased security around the White House.

There were various slides about sexual response cycles and now we're watching a video of a talk about taking the shame and stigma out of sex
@shauna “we’re”
Have it create Jodorowsky’s Dune.
You’ve got the notes, you’ve got the art. You’ve got all his other movies to cross check for style.
Then you can close down all AI, every chatbot and data center. Because it will have achieved its purpose.
@miksimum enough of this necromancy. When Grand Moff Tarkin appeared in Rogue One, that should have just been recast as a living actor who could creatively reinterpret the character. I don't care how well computers can mimic a dead guy

size is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
cross-posted from: feddit.org/post/37870004
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.
