Reddit is requiring manual admin approval to make /r’s private, eliminating the main mechanism for the last sitewide protest agains changes to the API.
The people here are a ton better anyways. I just wish some of the more niche communities had more users
To stop Reddit monsters, one, two, three
Here’s a fresh new way that’s trouble-free
It’s got Paul Anka’s guaranteeGuarantee void in Tennessee.
Just don’t look!
Just don’t look!The only valid protest is just walk away from Reddit.
Agreed.
After a year away from Reddit, scrolling through the comments there is a dumpster fire. Let it burn.
I had an account for 15 years, moderated a number of subs, and I do not in any way regret leaving.
It’s so sad. Reddit still comes up in my search results and I’ll check them out if I’m in a pinch. Most of these results are years old. Rarely ever get a result that’s within the last 2 years.
They were spinning gold.
They could have improved user experience, made better mod tools and built a fucking native app that competed with third party apps.
But nope.
Line must go up.
Their goal at this point is to monetize old user content.
Done
People are addicted to their beloved spam bots
That awkward moment when your “public square” turns out to be on private land
And free public land is visible just a few yards away, but you’d rather pay the toll because you don’t feel like moving, even though your toll is used to fuel unethical endeavors.
That awkward moment when you realize you helped it happen because you got a chance to chirp at people you didn’t like.
What kind of protest worthy change is reddit about to make?
and more to the point, who cares?
We all should, since many people are “locked” in there and simply do not have the capacity to escape.
Hard disagree. There are also people using Facebook, then complain how they got ads for product x after talking about x casually with a friend. Just stop. They get no sympathy just like the companies didn’t get a pass for making services worse and worse.
There are never going to be viable alternatives if people keep using the worsening services
That’s frequency illusion and not actually anyone listening to what they talk.
Who?
I think he’s played by Rowan Atkinson
