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.

"Große Sprachmodelle sind nur ein Hype [...]. Sie werden als Allheilmittel zur Lösung jedes gesellschaftlichen Problems und als nächster Schritt in der Evolution des Menschen beworben. [...] Nun wird dieser Hype genutzt, um Geld von der sozialen Sicherung und vom Bau von Krankenhäusern und Schulen abzuziehen. Letztlich ist KI eine Klassenfrage: Sie ersetzt die Schwächsten auf dem Arbeitsmarkt und wird genutzt, um an den Schutzbedürftigsten zu experimentieren."
Brain consented to cutting out a pattern. I am making this which is apparently a super easy pattern but which seems very complicated to me 🤣🤣 I bought metres of muslin so I can try it out first. I guess every mistake I make is a step forward! #Sewing

@dropbear which of the three variants do you want to do? To me only A looks “easy” out of the box…

Sheet music for the song Arnold Layne, by The Pink Floyd. Dunmo Music, 8 Denmark Street London 1967.
Dunmo, like most music publishers, moved out of Denmark Street some years ago and the Crossrail redevelopment changed some of the street for good. However there are still plenty

This is a genuine honeypot from our collection. It has no ulterior motives. But, to be safe, please do not pass it any state secrets.
@jwz Connecting to your site times out for me, as it has for weeks if not months.
@xentrac I have had to shitcan the IP blocks of half of the planet to stop the AI scrapers from making my site fall over. Presumably you are in one of those. So you can thank the slopbros for that.

They do ask for funding from time to time, though. It’s definitely not cost-less running a big website.
Just like having buying and selling things is not necessarily capitalism, an organization that gets and spends money is not necessarily a company.

Welcome to the abandoned land
Come on in child, take my hand
Here there is no work or play
Only one bill to pay
There's just five words to say
As you go down, down, down
You're gonna burn in hell
Oh, burn in hell

@TheBreadmonkey You know what they say, if you love your trousers, set them free. If they come back to you, they'll be yours forever. If they don't come back to you, they were never yours to begin with and you probably grabbed the wrong pair from someone at the gym.
