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

basically the thought police.

Idek wtf i said lmaoo. Atleast you got told you were deplatformed for daring to disagree with the regime. I just got shown the door. This place seems much nicer though.
a ludicrous ban, is when i got "temp banned for report abuse" turns out if you report too many people who have spreading misinformaiton or lies, you get automatically flagged.

I was Permanently banned for harassment because I asked a mod why they banned me.
Mind you, I’d ask, and they’d mute me for a week straight instead of just pointing out what got me banned.
lol I pray for their downfall; this news pleases me.
Some mods are in cahoots with the admins, so they can just exaggerate the seriousness of a report and get people banned.

Harsher moderation followed by a bot farm the richest man payed for to report every account that is critical of Nazis.
I'm not even kidding. At this point the amount of comments on Lemmy that I've read that had 10+ year old Reddit accounts banned for "inciting violence" is crazy. I was one of them a few months ago. Told a dude denying a Nazi salute was a Nazi salute to "go to hell where Nazis belong". Was banned within an hour. Permanent and IP/Metadata banned. Instant response of "no" to my unban request.
This is not a unique experience either. Leave reddit like it's the plague.
2nd richest, many people believe mr PUTIN IS, AND he does have the largest troll farm in existence(which is the reason why many countries in the mess they are right now.

Oh yea the generic "site wide ban message doesnt even tell you what the violation was" i think it gives reddit arbitrary and vague reasoning to ban you.
I really hope the company burns. It became everything it used to make fun of since Spez took over.

have they resurrected that subreddit from 2016 era, name of which i will not repeat, but it was well fuck. i'm still not going to say it. it's not an "information hazard", it's a garbage sphere that accretes garbage
there were ton of reddit that were purged in 17ish when trump came into power, and at the same the gop was complaining about said subreddits.

The excuse to ban someone over reporting will never not be hilarious to me. Like dawg, sorry were making you do your fucking job and improve your site.

wanna hear some just as ridiculous, apparenlty skin color, and DEMOgraphic was considered a racist word, ever since trump came into power, all the subs became too sensitive around african american words.

Any criticism of conservatism is grounds for removal now. I can't believe it's gotten this far.
Is there any Sonic community on Lemmy? Did you make one? I'm a casual fan, but I'd join.
i love it that TROLLS and conservatives ever though right wingers were ever censored. no, almost any one the "left" was censored in most medias.

I haven’t used Reddit since the api change but I suspect stating that Luigi mangione is a hero who did nothing wrong would get me banned on Reddit. Social murder is completely cool and ok. But actually killing the man who oversees the system of social murder? How dare you!?
it got worst after that api apocalypse, which culiminated into musk/luigi , it became increasingly harder to

literally one of the 2 reasons I haven't quit reddit completely (the other being I'm slowly deleting all my comments)
you can use powersuite delete i believe, and there are extensions, but much slower than the github one.

I just don't understand why a person would choose to invest in Reddit. What exactly is the value proposition here?
so huffman and the c-suite can dump thier stock, they did it a while ago.

I'm not sure why anyone would ever buy Reddit stock. There is no money to be made in Reddit. They failed to make any money before they went public, and they're failing to make any money now.
They tried the whole NFT thing, failed. They're trying to sell the data to AI companies but once that's sold they can't sell any more of it because the benefit of Reddit data was historical data unpolluted by AI, but new Reddit data is polluted by ChatGPT posts and is therefore worth less.
It's not even about banning people, it's about the fact that Reddit was never a sustainable business model from the start, at least not in the traditional capitalist sense where you're actively trying to make a profit to please shareholders.
The only benefit to owning Reddit stock is if you have voting shares and can manipulate the algorithm to benefit you in some way. Suppress some voices, amplify others to back what you want to do etc. but you need money to burn in order to achieve that because you aren't going to be making money directly by owning Reddit stock and manipulating public opinion takes time.
its only use now is a propaganda machine, much like X is now, or it will be soon like X.

If they'd been stalwart about banning automation and keeping original, legit human content pure, they probably could have used it as a fountain of fresh data for AI, for polling, for engagement farming, and for promotion.
The site was still growing even despite the admin induced atrophy. But they just couldn't resist killing the Golden Goose.
the mistake was allowing mods to have too much power, and admins to become mods.

I disagree that Reddit would gain in value over time if they kept banning automation, because it is increasingly difficult to avoid AI-generated material polluting your dataset, no matter how much you avoid automation and try banning it. Inevitably, some AI-generated material is going to get in.
It's a problem in two ways:
- The vast vast majority of data on Reddit has already been sold, so you can't rely on that data for future revenue
- The remaining data that's current is polluted by AI and is therefore worth less than the historical data because the more AI pollutes your dataset, the more likely it is to lead to Model Collapse, where an LLM is poisoned due to unverified data generated by other LLMs
I am firmly of the belief that sites like Internet Archive will be some of the most valuable companies in the AI space, because they hold an immense amount of untainted data created prior to 2019.
Except AI companies are already using data from Internet Archive wholesale with paying them a cent.

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.
