Who tf still uses Reddit? It's all bots and power tripping mods nowadays. Lemmy is a million times better imo.
I felt that way till the influx of redditors came to get their little dopamine kicks via the rate buttons and bickering on bs topics.
Exactly lol. I literally get banned from subs for no reason, and i once got banned for literally posting a meme in a meme sub, like wtf
While I do miss the subs with thousands, and the very obscure subs for my specific interest, this shit makes me glad I got out
What makes me sad is how a lot of niche communities moved from websites to Reddit, and now they are going to die.
Do you think they will move to lemmy?
No. Most of those communities are dwindling away. The guitar forums on Reddit are all AI shit repost bots. Luckily there are a few good YouTube channels to still get information, but there is no discussion.
Don't worry, won't be long for thousands join Lemmy when Reddit tries the Musk way of running a company into the ground :)
Redditors staged a coup and overthrew the CEO once before, why isn't it happening again?
Because Ellen Pao (the unpopular CEO who was ousted) was set up as the fall guy. Her entire purpose was to be at the helm while Reddit implemented (at the time) unpopular measures that angered the "free speech absolutists". Once that was done, she was cast aside so the anointed pigboy they have today could claim his promised seat on the throne and not have to walk back anything.
I first read that as ceo nonce. Which makes sense.
Because it was Russia overthrowing the CEO to install Spez.
Fixing reddit search? Just insert a 2021 google search bar on old.reddit. I just saved you millions you dingus. Thank goodness Aaron Swartz doesn't have to see what happened to his joint venture.
Remember when they tried to pretend he was not really involved? And then the time the removed his name? Insert pepperage farm meme graphic.
Don't post reddit ads on lemmy thanks.
Honestly, I think it's pretty hard to call this an ad lol
"Lemmy CEO teases users with cookies and free subs" would be removed from reddit in 1 second
Would it? I think 90% of us heard about Lemmy on reddit.
I'm pretty sure lemmy links were autoremoved at same point
Yes, because one is saying positives and the other is saying negatives. “Trump promises project 2025” isn’t a trump ad even if “Harris promises a fucking break from whatever weird bullshit trump said today” wouldn’t be allowed on truth social
Ads are about exposure too. The word "lemmy" is probably banned on reddit because they don't want you to even mention a competitor or people would know.
When the frontpage is all about trump/harris any party that isn't them lose because they get 0 coverage.
Americans need a run off vote system if they want third parties to be relevant
Problem is the ones people currently trust to organise, run, certify, and implement the elections do not want third parties to be relevant. Existing powers entrench against any changes that might result in a more fair system because the unfairness is the reason why they are on top.
I haven’t looked back since they killed Apollo, the only headline I want to see is bankruptcy
I miss apollo. It was so good and the reddit app is so shit!
Use Voyager and Lemmy instead
That is what I'm doing
And the CEO in prison for insider trading.

“Tease” doing a lot of heavy lifting there. It’s only a tease if it’s something people actually want.
It's a tease for shareholders desperate for more and more elaborate ways to squeeze a few more cents per user
