Reddit plans to lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says | Reddit executives also discussed how they might introduce more ads into the social media platform
-
Looks like I dropped Reddit at just the right time.
-
Indeed, and welcome to you.
-
If you don’t mind me asking, how did you find it?
There are reports of Reddit banning Lemmy mentions.
-
His dick isn't small, I sucked him off once
-
I came over to Lemmy during the Great API third party disaster. The exodus had commenters saying to come over to Lemmy.
-
It was word of mouth for me. But now you’ve got me curious about occurrences of the term Lemmy on Reddit.
-
Same, word of mouth is how I found lemmy. Beehaw, then a few others, now I'm here on db0.

I never understood the desire to search in conversational language via AI. It's gone to far for my taste. I just want to be able to scour a huge volume of info for my exact search terms, maybe with a few synonyms or misspellings included. Google and AI keep trying to assume they know what I'm looking for, but they're always wrong (intentionally wrong based on their own motives).
The reason the dataset interests me is that search has gotten so bad that I can't get any non-corporate information from search engines anymore, just more pig swill, chumbucket ads, and misinformation slop. Anything I search for would probably give better results if I just searched old reddit, Wikipedia, and a few other datasets locally in a simple way. Not sure what software is best to use for something like that, but I'd like to collect a few mostly pre-AI datasets now to get the ball rolling before you can't find those online anymore either.

Glad I was finally early to something for once. It's been nice reading the reddit news from Lemmy for the last year or so.
-
Awwww yeaaah. Welcome friend, stay a while
-
There's nothing on Reddit anymore. It's really unfortunate but I don't see how this is going to help them regain any consistent user base.
-
I googled Reddit alternatives. I see Reddit as turning into just the next Twitter cesspool. There’s no longer any constructive conversation.
The problem is you can’t have real conversations that stoke any flames because they’re a public company and answer to the shareholders, so they, reddit, deem what is appropriate to be posted.
-
Most likely it's going to be some sort of onlyfans system where people can pay to get access to specific content and the content creator gets to keep a share of it
-
If you can't do these things then users and communities will remain locked to server instances and dominated by server owners and their moderation delegates just as they are on reddit. This is repeating the problem is not enacting the any of the promises of federation. It is federation for prisoners.
-
Not only do I see your comment, it's not yet buried even 5 days after you've made it.
