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.

This was the text from the post.

The open source world and its volunteers need to migrate to decentralized services as quickly as possible.

Everything is now easier than before for the Big Data, it is very possible in the age of AI to match our habits even according to anonymous data.

The solution is to switch to decentralized / self-hosted systems as quickly as possible.

Linux sub's admins may archive here and announce an official Lemmy sub. Hope all other open source subs will migrate too.

I'm ready to leave RedDEAD!

Surprised there’s still real people posting on there.

I strongly disagree with this notiong that seemingly if not every single person on earth is using something its dead. A lot of people use lemmy.

I'm surprised it hasn't been removed and the poster banned. They get really banhammer happy when anyone mentions Lemmy on reddit, for some reason.

Edit: ope, looks like it got autofiltered "awaiting moderator approval"

I wonder where people are going for fediverse to seem dead? Im seeing quite a few posts!

Personally I think its just what other platforms tell others to keep them off the fediverse. Or you get people with no actual proof of anything they are posting saying heinous things about the fediverse (its filled with furry porn! its dead! anyone can post! etc...etc...)

Regardless, even if reddit users never in mass make it over here...thats fine. We are ok doing our own thing.

I think people come here expecting it to be a 1:1 replacement for their Reddit habits and refuse to accept that their niche hobby sub doesn’t yet exist here.

Thankfully this post was in the Linux sub and that’s one of the well represented niches here for obvious reasons.

[–] Steve@startrek.website 3 points 15 hours ago

All my niche hobby subs are dead anyway

[–] Dadifer@lemmy.world 9 points 16 hours ago

I mean... there is a ton of furry porn.

[–] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 18 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

We just can't keep the bots out though. Its poisoned the net.

[–] kibblebits@quokk.au 6 points 19 hours ago

Hard to get bots out when the makers of the system are strongly in favor of the bots that spread (mis)information they agree with.

[–] RIotingPacifist@lemmy.world 8 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

I look forward to dozens of users joining us but being decentralized doesn't protect us from being tracked.

Everything is now easier than before for the Big Data, it is very possible in the age of AI to match our habits even according to anonymous data.

This applies just as much to the fediverse as it does to corporate slop sites.

it is very possible in the age of AI to match our habits even according to anonymous data.

Tbf, it was possible years before AI to de-anonymize users from "anonymized" databases. AI just speeds the process up.

Yes, they can track anyone with their current resources, but their revenues are all tied to active users. If that drops significantly then they lose money they need to run the tracking programs. We gave them the popularity they needed to get to this point. We can take it away again if we want to.

We probably won't, but we could.
