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.

time for me to take a shit out of my ass

Reddit is no better than Facebook, X, or Instagram these days. Out of control moderation with false accusations done for no particular reason. I hope they get rid of the sole reason people still bother with reddit. Maybe if they could figure out how to moderate without falsely accusing people of things, I'd care.

My copium is that the website was initially built in a way where they can’t delete old reddit without breaking it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago

The only reason I'm here in the first place is because it's ridiculously obvious that they're killing old reddit soon. Every time they add some new bullshit feature it breaks our reddit just a little more and it becomes less and less usable. Meanwhile new reddit is also becoming less and less usable as they try to make it Facebook 2.0. It's all getting enshittified very quickly.

Old reddit has been mentioned.

He's definitely gunning on shutting it down

I only stayed on Reddit as long as I did because of Old Reddit. New Reddit simply isn't worth it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

I never cared about new reddit vs old reddit, because it always looked the same on Baconreader. I couldn't continue after I lost that. I really wish there was a Lemmy fork of it, it was my favorite.

Connect is pretty good so far, not quite the same.

yup. New reddit is a cancer. Old reddit may be old and antiquated, but it's a SHITLOAD better than new reddit. Not that i use either anymore

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago

What a liar. I hope that pasty cat f***** suffers a slowly from feline AIDS. Seeing as he's the reason the feline population even caught it.

If I may say that I hope more people support Lemmy. We need to get away from Reddit and it will be difficult. I’m kinda new to Lemmy and I plan on donating.

Welp good bye old reddit

[–] [email protected] 59 points 3 weeks ago

The real story is buried in there:

Reddit is going to ask for a bit more identifying information from its users, too.

Yeah not going to happen.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Does it only work on a desktop now? Even before I stopped using reddit regularly, the old.reddit domain stopped being in the old reddit format, and looks no different from just going directly to reddit.com.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yes, it still works in browsers.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

There's a browser extension that forces it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

yet they're keep making it harder to use. they removed the old login form for no reason lol (it still works if you add back the removed html so it's obv no security bs)

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I'm still using old reddit, but I'm very excited about the return of Digg and partnership of Kevin Rose and Alex Ohanian. Hopefully that scares Huffman and somewhere in the Great Beyond, Aaron Swartz is smiling.
