Musk 'Pressured' Reddit CEO to Silence DOGE Critics, Leaving Moderators Outraged: Report.
-
Nah, he wanted to modify what was being said. He blocked and oppressed views he didn't like. It was never free speech. It was always oppression.
I don't even think he new the possibilities of what he can do with Twitter before he bought it. He bought it and after that he needed something to do with this shit pile and found the solution in manipulation and illegal election donation

I got banned from r/comics for calling out US imperialism. Got called a Russian propagandist
I got banned from Reddit because I made a suggestion on what should happen to a violent bull terrier dog that attacked a family member
And they had a child
No free speech on Reddit
I think they have people move in to moderator roles that can choose to ban people who disagree with their opinions

That's what every company/organization I've ever worked for has done. Oh, this intranet tool works okay and no one is complaining. Lets redo it in a "modern" style... (adds whitespace and truncates every meaningful text field so you have to mouseover and scroll for miles to read any of them even on a 4k display).
I think part of why Reddit succeeded initially was because it had some very KEY strengths/advantages. I would say that the old design and the URL scheme are part of that. It fit any screen nicely from phone though 4k TV, portrait displays, whatever. It was a simple design, but extensible by custom CSS and if you knew what you wanted, you could skip straight there by typing r/ or u/ in your URL. Enough reminiscing, if old reddit is gone,I don't know if I'll even be able to use reddit at all for anything. New reddit is one of those interfaces, like twitter, that never really made sense or worked for me. I'm just a Lemmy guy I guess.
I could deal with the aesthetics if they kept the core function of old.reddit. But they didn't. I see "trending" posts more than I see posts from subs I have joined and that's what eventually has driven me from the site. Every time I log in, it's whack a mole with random bot repost subs.

They exchanged messages just before the subreddit r/WhitePeopleofTwitter was given a temporary ban for 72 hours
They should only post critics of Doge now.
-
That...should be intolerable for redditors, you'd think this would finally make them leave.

Personally I couldnât care less about moderator outrage. Just read the room already and leave. No amount of kicking and screaming will take the platform off the hands of technofascists. Youâre clearly not valued there so why would they care if you cry about their decisions? Just grow a spine already.

Musk bought twitter because he wanted free speech...
Ironic huh
Musk bought Twitter because he fucked around trying to manipulate the stock price and accidentally made an agreement he couldn't back out of. He tried. He failed. He was forced to buy it according to the terms he previously specified.
-
I agree and haven't returned but lemmy hasn't hit critical mass yet.... Like I don't recall a post with over a hundred replies. Reddit used to have over a thousand on every reply on the first page.
Legitimately who cares though? Youâre not in it for the money with Reddit either.
-
How many of those thousands are actual good comments though? Last time I was there, I swear the majority of comments were from bots reposting the same comments that were in previous threads. It felt peak dead-internet.
Hard agree. I didnât realize how awful this felt in practice and how much I genuinely missed conversations until Lemmy.
Every popular thread I got into the habit of ignoring the top comments because Iâve seen them 1000 before. Like being forced to watch the most unfunny 90âs sitcom.
I realize now that I would only comment on other commentsâ deep in comment chains.
Coming to Lemmy felt like the difference between trying to fish a pre-packaged snack out of a vending machine (Reddit) verses sitting down for a high quality all you can eat brunch (Lemmy).

I tested just writing "Luigi" and was banned for a day. I deleted my 10+ years account with over 200k karma. I was so attached to that profile, but I promptly deleted it after being banned. Fuck these billionaires telling us what's ok to say.
Not the karma
Bunch of weirdos -
Lol, first I hear about paid subreddits (I am not much on reddit since they ended 3rd party apps). This might actually be the end of reddit, if they are really that dumb.
-
As long as I can visit through old.reddit I will keep visiting but thanks to old.lemmy.world I can also browse this place at peace.
I enjoyed my time there immensely. I loved fostering a community, and helping people, I wrote guides and news posts, I helped other users via messages and overall felt like it was a nice place.
But over time Reddit got greedy, and for me to do the work for free (moderate), and then provide their content for free (my posts)...with how they treated us and will continue to?
My time is better spent on the fediverse. Here and Mastodon. I'm far happier here now.

Why donât we have similar class solidarity?

Haha, the chat system? That will be a shitshow. Oh my, thank you [email protected] for creating an alternative.

I felt how you felt when I was moderating a forum, so I can relate. In the end we do things for love but if others profit from our work it's less fun.

Bunch of weirdosWhen I hear of a Redditor be like this I want to test out that napalm recipe like literally how can you be this regarded

I think he had to enter into agreements about content in order to get financing from the Saudis and Russians.

Wonât the same happen to Lemmy when it gains enough traction?

Wow now I feel justified for leaving and feel like I should do another post where I tell people to follow us here
