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

I used to use RiF and loved Sync for Lemmy too. I just wish the developer would fix the bug for posts showing unread! It's completely stopped me from using the app for something like 6 months now.
What do you mean my that? Like, your own posts or those of others?
Not sure I'm seeing that on my side. Could be wrong tho

Reddit Revanced my brother.
Search for Update me app in F-Droid.
No ads and disable all the other unnecessary functions.
Firefox with ublock works too. I've never seen a reddit ad in my life, even on mobile.

Soon it’ll just be bots banning bots.
Good ol’ boy-on-bot action.

Corporate social media was a mistake. Genuinely, I lay a lot of why the state of the western world is the way it is at the feet of Zuckerberg and his peers.
Same. I'm not sure Lemmy is any better tho. I know, I'm a hypocrite.
-
i still use sync for reddit as well, you can patch it with revanced
Meh, fuck Reddit.

Same for me using Boost on Android. It looks like Reddit only without the bots and AI slop.

What exactly is your critique? Do you think news aggregator style social media is an issue in general or is there something that lemmy just doesn't do good enough?

It's not owned by a corporation and doesn't sell your data or use it to feed an algorithm. So yeah I'd say it's a lot better.

Lemmy, Mbin, and now PieFed!
Piefed sucks bigtime.

They 7-day banned me for 'encouraging violence' for saying I didn't think Mangione deserved to go to jail for what he did. I appealed it and it was lifted, but not before it was upgraded to a permanent ban for ban-evasion on other accounts (I've never had more than one account in my 14 years of reddit.) The perma-ban was lifted on appeal too, but by that point I was just like fuuuuck off.

Reddit has a feature where there helpfully link your account to stranger's accounts. When the stranger is banned from any sub, you are too. But you don't know you are banned from those subs. So when you innocently post, you get perma-banned.

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.
Seems like putting your efforts behind censoring and banning your user base while simultaneously trying to give a pass to a facist oligarchy is a bad idea. That's the thing about oligarchy, it's a small club and if you weren't already in it, you're not going to be any time soon. Facebook and Xitter don't want to share the money from ads and adversarial state\private actors

And this right here is why I laughed my ass off when they were doing their IPO and offered me an early buy-in. The company has never made a profit to my knowledge, why on earth would I imagine its value would go up?
There is no growth potential at all. They regularly bleed large numbers of users with their rando-bans, and the new user experience is so terrible that there is no reason any new person would ever want to use it.

MySpace will make a comeback.
And that gum you like is going to come back into style .

If I had to find something to critique, it is that bad-faith agenda-pushing is still rampant here, from "both sides" - rather all conceivable sides.
Not like I have a solution for it. Maybe forums shouldn't be this big, and we shouldn't primarily be talking to strangers.

Imagine investing in another company being led by Elon Musk these days.

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

It was going downhill since they got rid of the woman who was running AMA
Yeah remember that being an inflection point where I stopped being excited about updates and started dreading them.

This is basically it. It is just harder to run a fascist oligarchy these days. People are way too connected and are sympathetic to other people from other countries. The propaganda can only go so far.

MySpace will make a comeback.
It currently belongs to Viant Technology LLC, an advertising company that's deeply invested into the AI bubble. Perhaps they'll sell it off after the crash but honestly, MySpace's downfall and sellout is kind of what's wrong with Internet culture anyway so I don't see any benefit in a restart. I'd rather see a complete reset.
