This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Reddit is just Ai trash these days and the effort needed to block the Ai garbage bots near daily is insane. I come to Lemmy and feel happy seeing new shit. I go to Reddit and it feels like nothing but garbage.
I just deleted all my comments, first edited them before deletion with power delete suite. It ran for days, but eventually, as far as I can tell, all deleted.
A few of the big subs kept sending me messages, that my comment was removed because I didn't have email verification. My account is 15 years old I think, email wasn't a requirement then. Crazy that some subs now enforce this to post.
Happy to see it. I would love a new platform to show up and replace reddit. I dont think its going to be Lemmy but something where the creators actually care about great discussions rather than money.
The challenge is moderation of course.
Why not Lemmy? I think it's way better than reddit. Unfortunately it lacks enough users. I don't think starting from scratch will offer a better solution.
They have screwed it up so bad I literally find myself on Facebook more often then Reddit and that's after being gone from Facebook for like 20 years lmao
Reddit did everything in its power to get rid of the users that made the platform what it is. Or rather, what it once was. It’s barely a shell of the former glory days.
And if you get rid of your power users who make good content and good comments, well, this is what happens.
They lost me when they started charging for their api. It pushed out so many good apps. It was shitty.
reddit refuses visitors without a login
"Our numbers are dropping!"
Is Reddit just bots talking to eachother now? Soon bots will make trades on the prediction market apps and the stock market. Bots will be allowed to own money and become billionaires. Then our human billionaire overlords will be replaced with bot ai billionaire overlords. Then they will remake the Terminator movies, but with the humans as bad guys. John Connor goes back in time to murder a roomba while one of those Chinese falling over robots tries to stop him.
What's this, consequences, who do thunk it?
Honestly speaking, freedom of speech is practically non-existent on reddit. How else do you explain automated bans, or mods getting triggered over the smallest things? You are not allowed to think or speak freely, critical thinking is virtually zero.
You love to see it
I mean obviously. All they needed was a single deal to get all the data. The funny thing about digital goods is you can copy it. Sure you miss the updated messages but that is less and less interesting as time goes by.
Hopefully you just die altogether or end up a shell of yourself like digg
Fuck spez and fuck reddit tbh
I was willing to look the other way until I got banned for essentially no reason
I'm way happier not being on that platform
i'm only here cos reddit sucks donkey dick now. I think they just sold out and in turn have lost support. I went there for the news, before it broke else where. Now I never get breaking news and 80% of the posts I see feel like they are for teenagers. For Profit Pigs
"What's behind the move: The user discussion platform company's latest earnings report did not announce any new artificial intelligence data licensing agreements, disappointing investors who were expecting more revenue opportunities from AI partnerships.
Revenue of $804.9 million beat estimates of $731.8 million. However, US daily active users came in at 53.2 million, just shy of expectations of 54 million. The company's total daily active users grew by 18% to 130.3 million versus estimates of 130.07 million. "
Lmao. 53.2 vs 54, and the headline says that's why it's tumbling? Nah, it's gotta be just the AI. I bet most of the reddit investors were also invested in AI stock and wanted to use reddit to pump the others. Hilarious. The entire value of Reddit is human UGC.
Just tried to comment and got temp banned for just comment. These retards gonna go out of business as they should
The cat fuckers getting what he deserves.
