I hate how everything has to be monetized nowadays, or how money is to be expected for everything. Eventually people who provide free service or altruism will be seen as competition.

....He does realize this isn't going to work on a platform that bans you for breathing the wrong way right?
Yeah. 4 accounts getting randomly banned was enough for me. This will just prey on the clueless who don't know your account can get shadow banned for any reason (or no reason).

If Reddit were run by competent people, I'd think that paywalled subs might be a good idea. I imagine that there are countless scenarios where people have really useful info to share, but at the same time, said info can't be spread too widely, and a paywall is one way of making sure that only people who truly care about said info can take advantage of it.

Why do all of these companies decide they are so tired of existing?
They think that their domination is strong enough so that after an initial backlash, the users will come back since they have nowhere else to go. And they’re kind of right.
Self destructive addiction even happens to corporations.
It's the final stage of the pump n dump.

While I look forward to the continuing demise of Reddit, I'm not looking forward to the influx of even more Redditors.
I am looking forward to more non-tech communities.
I am.looking for more people who does not haate you because you don't use Linux on Lemmy. Even the community where one can say Linux is not usable for everyday, till it stands on cruches of terminal to do anything and don't have to get multiple down votes

Funny, I'm looking forward to the Lemmy tech communities expanding and becoming active. I only follow All because it's so damn slow otherwise.
The only really active communities I've seen are the tech communities and the politics/ news communities. So, yeah, I agree with the other guy: I'm looking forward to much more variety.

I thought that most people from here are just from various influxes of redditors.
Some of us are from there. We can't all be that bad.
Most Redditors are okay but a lot of the tankie witch hunt and assorted vote seeking grandstanding nonsense is from .world users, who are largely from Reddit.

Glad I got out when I did
digital champagne room
They had that, you get enough gold you get access to the lounge where people with internet money just talk about how to spend their points in other people.
Funny, you get enough virtual gold folks just want to share it. Real money, not so much
You got access to mega lounge if you never bought the gold for yourself and were instead gifted it
It was a lot more boring that people thought...

The dumbass does not have an original idea or vision in his body. After turning his users into consumer goods, now he's just thinking about reddit r/lounge 2.0 and combining it with reddit awards 2.0 and reddit talk 2.0.
First of all, that only works if moderators get payed or you get some extremely gullible and power hungry ones, which for the first I doubt his money scrounging self could allow and for the second, that's the problem.
It will also open up a whole can of worms that reddit certainly has deserved for some time now, people suing if they are banned from these communities, specially if it was due to personal fickle prerogative of one of the mods. But considering what reddit has gotten away with, this last point is not really that likely.
