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.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I just wanted to peek at the front page. I guess they don't want people to use their shit anymore. I'm starting to believe in the dead internet theory.

Are you using a vpn?

My recent permaban from r/worldnews for stating the obvious (is "Iran attacks Israel" still the right title for a stickied thread on the events in Gaza?) has had the positive effect of making me renew with Lemmy.

r/worldnews is a cesspool of hasbara fanboys, but their unilateral view on the conflict starts to draw away people from their toxic propaganda.

Don't even waste your time in that echo chamber, it's almost as bad as r/politics. They did you a favor by banning you.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago

The only times I've seen that is if I'm trying to browse while on a VPN(mullvad in my case). And more often than not it's because it came up in a search.

Fuck the hurensohn forever and always.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Meinten Sie vielleicht Burensohn oder Uhrensohn, werter Herr?

Tech companies are now the hot new thing for MBAs to put into their resumes. That’s why you see this enshittification. Used to be the money people didn’t want to work in tech because it made them feel dumb. That was what made the industry work. Those times are over.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Reddit got run down because they were trying to make it turn more profit because they were planning to IPO for maximum value.

MBA's do not get enough shit for being a root cause of the deterioration for modern life.

It really is a bullshit career. Companies should be run by people who came up in the industry and learned all the pitfalls rather than college kids who learned how to not pay contracts until they're legally forced to.

I went there the other day for the first time in a while and noticed how many ads there were and even ads disguised as notifications. Enshitification to the max. So glad I joined Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I've logged in a few times recently and I've not seen (m)any ads. But I pay for prime. The subscription is hardly worth it as I've mostly moved to Lemmy. But there are still some communities that haven't made the jump.

I use a VPN and they block me most days. I uninstalled the app and said fuqit.

Red Reader works but I have not found a solution for the browser. Sucks majorly because of search results leading you to a Reddit post.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Libdirect extension set to redirect you to a teddit client.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Do you need to be able to post and upvote?

If not then install libredirect, go to the reddit settings, and ping instances until you find the lowest latency front end.

There you go. How you can read and the ui of most is pretty clean.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

No login needed since I don't have an account anymore. That addon works, at least for Reddit it seems. A lot of other sites like IG or TicTok do not. The former at least has another site & addon that works but most of those proxy sites seem to just be broken, even though the pinging still works.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Are/were you able to log in?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Not the person you asked, but yesn't. It works while not connected to VPN, but when I am connected to VPN (that it rejects) the TOTP 2FA doesn't work, so with 2FA enabled I cannot log in.

It shows a green checkmark, but clicking "Check code" does absolutely nothing, and I am still not logged in.
