Reddit’s 50% Plunge Fails to Entice Dip Buyers as Growth Slows.

You have been banned from Lemmy for inciting violence

Hey fam, I’m another Reddit refugee. I heard Lemmy is what Reddit was back in the day. Sad to see Reddit go to hell.
Reddit was killed by spez. RIP. Long live Lemmy! Hopefully it’s insulated from meddling by venture capital.

Does using rdx benefit Reddit at all? I don’t have a Reddit account anymore but I sometimes check it with rdx but I think im ready to cut ties altogether.
Do it. Cut ties. Your brain will thank you.

I feel like I have simpler reasons for leaving Reddit.
The third party apps quit working and the site and app run like shit and take forever to load.
Simple problems, simple solutions.
The Reddit app and site are bloated bullshit. It’s an insult that they want you to use that. Lemmy with Voyager is the experience I like.

And Facebook meta.

She married a hotel heir, she's still doing fine.
She was also just on the cover of People or some other such supermarket cash register rag.

Right now it is ok. But I worry that AI will enshittify even the Feddiverse.
It's inevitable, in part because of how easy AI will make bot farms and censorship. Really all the problems reddit has, we will see here and probably faster than the 10-15 years it took reddit. It wasn't just policy that ruined reddit, it was capital interests and special interests. Groups dedicated to swaying opinion, taking over subs, banning and shadow banning users.
In it's way, Lemmy will be easier to break because we're all already slightly fragmented. Imagine your favorite instances getting taken over like r/undelete and then defederating all the other opposition servers. Or...becoming hostile like reddit.
Then we have the greater slide to fascism. SOME of what Reddit is doing is in line with simply trying to survive that. We have no idea what kind of controlling laws might come out that will shut down or police instances hosted in places like the US. Misinformation laws. All and all it's a scary time.
I like lemmy because it feels like I've gone back 12 years or so to a better reddit. Back to old reddit. But really it's just a matter of time.
I really think we've seen a pretty complete cycle of social media over the last 25 years. If you look at how we used it and how it is used in China, Russia, or NK. It's been weaponized as much as monetized. Maybe more.

Good ol’ boy-on-bot action.
Sounds like fun on the bun!

-
Removing the messages option and instead replacing it with their stupid DM chat system, even for modmail
-
Stating that later this year they're going to introduce walled off paid sub-reddit
-
That live stream nonsense they had a couple of years back
-
Their A.I. answers integration
-
Censoring users who mention 'eat the rich' and the name Luigi
-
No longer allowing moderators of their own sub-reddit to change a sub's status to NSFW (after the protests, obv), now requires admin to do this for them if the deem it appropriate
...who'd have guessed that these decisions were shit. Not the community who told them each time, again and again, right?
Fuck you, Reddit
Came over during the great 3rd party app API debacle. It didn't even make the list. Am I old now?

All I use reddit for is porn now, so the ads are really easy to spot. Like if I see someone trying to show me tupperware when I was just looking at goth girls and femboys, I know to keep scrolling.
Those NSFW communities will have their culling, mark my words. The more fringe it is the more at risk it is. If reddit keeps NSFW it will end up like Lemmynsfw. Maybe even less interesting. With this stock dip Reddit has to be thinking about it.

The gloomy sentiment around Reddit Inc. has failed to dissipate after its shares fell 50% from a February high, with volatile technology stocks under pressure.
So I work in advertising for a company that is top 20 on the Fortune 500. We advertise everywhere including Reddit.
The returns on Reddit isn't even very good. We still spend money there as a pure name recognition play.
As of now, for the company I work for, it's not working.
-
And Facebook meta.
I really wish Facebook could truly die. That will likely happen in another 10 years.

Get! Wreckt! Spaz!

I did the same long ago, but I did go back to reddit. I wish I'd learned my lesson at the time -__-

I’ve bumped into some of them. But I’d say there isn’t a bot infestation of fake users. Yet.
No I'm talking about a global worldwide problem with humanity.
Our entire race needs to emotionally evolve and we cannot
Reorganizing into different online groups does not in any way change the underlying issue
Our entire human race is a violent, vile, afraid, resource hungry pile of genetic material that has reached the end

Yeah, the world is sliding into global fascism, and fast.
Even "Never Again" Germany has a major political party sympathetic with Nazis (AfD). If you talk to the average person in America, it is okay to have all of your rights stripped as long as you can use TikTok. We're in very dark times right now.
If anything, I think that people from around the world are very disconnected on average. The average person can barely care to support Ukraine, when Putin is clear-as-day running Stalin's playbook. Lemmy and Reddit is not real life.
Yeah we have people that are fucking starving and borderline ready to riot in the streets like the depression in the twenties, child labor in the states is on the rise ... Fascism is on the rise... Basic human rights in the developed world are on the decline... Concentration of wealth is at an all-time high and the population which does all the work has the fewest resources in the history of the entire earth...
But "fuck Nestle" is the refrain

I reported a comment for basically saying that men are the only violent sex, and they temp-banned me for abusing the reporting system. The explanation message (canned, I'm sure) said that reporting abuse is a form of harassment or bullying, or something like that.
Eat shit reddit, and fuck spez.
I don't think they are trying to sabotage their own products. It really is that they're not smart enough to see where is the value is. And this is kind of understandable, right? The underlying software has been copied already. It's out there. If that company has value it's only the user base. But that puts management in the strange situation where everything they are doing to make money is making their own product worse. And they kind of know it, right? But they can't admit it. They can't think about it clear. Their own mental stability relies on ignoring the obvious truths that they see and read every day.

I had the exact same experience. I am a man that suffered tremendous amount of violence at the hands of my female caregivers and partners. I reported a similar hate-based comment against men and I got banned temporarily.

Music to my ears.

Lemmy, Mbin, and now PieFed!
I didn't want to put piefed yet since it's still developing, but pretty fast and hard to give them credit. Is one I most looking forward to because of their topics and feeds. I thought I'd appreciate mbin having built in sorry for microblogs, but I didn't even explore much of it
