are you afraid a NSA agent reads your wet dreams or your favourite bands list ?
Reddit: User content belongs to us. You can't scrape, collect, use, or have bots interact with it... unless you pay us.
Lemmy is the same in terms of ownership btw, as is pretty much every online platform. Anything you post is owned by the owner of the instance that it is on and that it federates to. You don't own it.
I dare you to compare the largest possible instance vs Reddit as a whole.
I don't think you understood my comment.
Also reddalso Reddit: since all users have left, most of our traffic now consists of posts from AI bots that we're really really blocking!!
What, like Xitter did?
Unauthorized AI bots
100%. Reddit loves bots that they control, like the ones that go back and constantly re-post years old top rated, traffic driving content, complete with a replica of the entire comment section posted by hundreds/thousands of bots, because they can use it to do their bidding in pushing agendas and/or driving traffic/engagement.
Am I overreacting aita and all of those question answer subs are all bots.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Reddit worked with OpenAI and Google and other AI companies to help them get the data they want by letting them manipulate subs.
step one: ban everyone who writes an emdash
I like em dashes. I learned the alt code for en and em dashes just so I could use them easily on a computer. There is a difference between a hypen and an en dash, and a double-hyphen is but a simulacrum of the em dash!
- Hyphen is just for double-barrelled words
- An en dash is useful – at least sometimes – for inserting side thoughts
- ah boy I sure hope an em dash doesn't interrupt m—
But let's be real, I type kinda formally, like an AI, sooo
I am not convinced. Sending you to the crypto mines where all AI belong. See you in ten thousand years.
Oh no, the mines will be so bad for my authentic supple human skin, and my favourite mammilian activity of breathing air
I love em dashes. Fuck AI.
I don't believe that for 1 millisecond.
Spez won't be able to stop himself from enshitifying reddit in any way he can to appease those VC pump&dump scammers he's spent the last decade ruining reddit for.
No they wont. Just those who haven't paid them first.
Fuck reddit, It's a shithole.
Sometimes I have to return for various reasons. God. Some of them have absolutely bled over to the fediverse, but holy HELL are the people and the culture there messed up. I don't know if it's getting worse or I'm healing.
What's the difference between Reddit and Lemmy culturally? I thought that the people who moved over here held opinions fairly typical of Reddit.
Hmm... Reddit users tend to be less thoughtful and more ready to play to the crowd, as opposed to a more personal approach on lemmy/fediverse. It's an important distinction, that lemmy is based on the idea of being nice to people. By doing so, I hope to, and have seen, far less one-liners and dismissive jokes. It's less toxic imo. It's not perfect, but we have to work in steps, together as a society in order to get to enlightenment like that. And lemmy is a decent step away from what Reddit culture has become.
Also, I think lemmy people are a bit less selfish and more socialist as an average, which probably contributes. I think it helps to go, "capitalism bad, let me actually try to take a step away from that and try to do (at least technologically) something that's better." Personally, I'm not a communist or pure socialist, but I'm definitely not gruntled by any means with our current socioeconomic systems. I've talked to some tankie friends irl and not only do we disagree a on some things, but one person believed that what I want doesn't exist/isn't a known societal structure, which is fine to me, that just means we haven't tried it yet.
While I completely agree with you about the absence of one-liners and meme comments, and even more left leaning community, there's still that strong element of "gotcha" in discussions. Also tonnes of people not reading an article before commenting (at a better rate than Reddit probably), and a generally even more doomer attitude is common here.
Personally I feel like I am healing. I haven't signed into reddit since they bent the knee to musk. I have noticed that I have become less toxic. I still go off half cocked like an idiot but I have been more tactful about it. I hope to keep working on it because I honestly never noticed until I had been away from reddit for a few weeks.
I haven’t signed into reddit since they bent the knee to musk.
What did I miss here? Reddit hates musk.....
Spez doesn't
How did they bend the knee to musk is what I’m asking.
Started banning everyone who says mean things about Tesla and musk. Banned whole subreddits for him.
Edit: oh it’s fucking you, of course it fucking is. How much they paying you?
