News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Attitudes like his are the reason reddit is dying. Sure, the users are there but the soul is gone.

Says the loser that does fuck all everyday.

People not working hard and procrastinating is why reddits userbase even exists

Modern internets wild, just built off ppls contributions for free, they get all the money and control, we get to do free labor and get told how we're lazy

Lmao and now reddit hasn't made anything of significance since thePlace. Literally couldn't name a single change or update that means anything. They're just removing stuff and adding colorful pantaloons for your imaginary alien

It used to be so idealistic that he was a r/Jailbait mod and no investors saw that as toxic until newsmedia publicized that

[–] Geetnerd@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago

Fuck. Spez.

[–] Eat_Your_Paisley@lemm.ee 39 points 2 days ago

God forbid tech employees are idealist when they need to push company value

[–] ProfHillbilly@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Just how hard does he work? What does he do all day?

[–] HappySkullsplitter@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago

Not anymore though. Right, Spez?

Idealism is out the window and he's cracking that whip

For those who haven't heard, Digg is poetically making a comeback, with a team-up between Kevin Rose and Alex Ohanian no less. They bought Digg back a couple months ago and are going back to something closer to the old Digg.

[–] Konstant@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Alex Ohanian let reddit get to this point..

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

How so?

His departure from Reddit in 2020 preceded the major API destruction that pretty much falls exclusively on Huffman to my knowledge. As a bonus Ohanian to his credit on leaving:

On June 5, 2020, Ohanian resigned from Reddit's board, asking to be replaced by a Black candidate in response to the murder of George Floyd.[2] Days later, Michael Seibel, an African-American entrepreneur, was named a Reddit board member.

That was back when I wanted to be a redditor....
