Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.


7. No duplicate posts.


If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners.


The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Fuck /u/Spez

Sorry; the above is mandatory these days when talking about enshittified reddit.

I'd say it very strongly looks like Spez is doing exactly what it looks like. I can attest from my days as a meta-subreddit-mod and reddit mod that this behavior tracks exactly with any time Spez thinks he's planning an unpopular change; they pucker up hard and start bracing things they think will be affected.

Probably, it is Old.Reddit; because it likely does not add to their revenue. Old.reddit interface was not designed with advertising in mind and it is purely functional first only.

Of course; by editing or removing old.reddit interfaces; they will be lobotomizing their moderation teams. The new reddit interface provides far less control and granular information; making it difficult at times to moderate without falling back to the old.reddit interface.

Undoubtedly they will likely also try to freeze, disable, or cripple AutoModerator /config/ pages, if they haven't already, or revert them as well when this new enshittification masquerading as a "small positive change" drops. It's hard to say.

Instead of recognizing their moderators as major stakeholders who have chosen to build their communities on reddit; they have chosen violence, and are treating them like enslaved serfs. Hmm...I wonder if that means they could possibly be breaking modern slavery laws... Until Next Time!

Leave reddit now.

Sounds like something you would do if you were about to remove a very popular feature like old reddit in the coming months.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Old.reddit is definitely on the chopping block and this is the precursor

It provides limited API functionality still and it avoids the shit ad filled new reddit page

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Anything but old.reddit is beyond shit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Whelp... expect to not be having it in the near future cause that's next to go

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah... something big must be coming and they're gearing up for it.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

They could just setup auto moderator rules to bury all new posts

[–] [email protected] 36 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I wonder what they are planning that they think will piss everyone off.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Old.reddit being "sunset."

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago

Well they don’t want to hurt the feelings of the nazis they protect. Keep reminding them that 400 thousand Americans died in WW2 to give us the right to punch nazis in the face.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

People still go there? They should stop.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

I've said it before, and I will say it again, and again, and again and again.

Good riddance, Reddit.

GOOD riddance, Reddit.

Good RIDDANCE, Reddit.

Good riddance, REDDIT.

GOOD RIDDANCE, REDDIT.

Adding insult to injury, Reddit recently struck gold by licensing its content to train AI models.

Oh, that'll be fun, considering how much of the content on Reddit is simply bots making reposts.
