Reddit’s 50% Plunge Fails to Entice Dip Buyers as Growth Slows.
-
I’ve bumped into some of them. But I’d say there isn’t a bot infestation of fake users. Yet.
DNC started astroturfing heavy around 2015 and kept pushing. It's been an entire decade of slop on that hellsite

I used to mod a million plus sub. How on earth could you do it without 3rd party tools? I am very happy here. It’s nice to be able to talk to real people again.
Oh we did use third party tools, and there were 5-8 moderators depending on which sub. I just loved the mod queue on reddit sync to just approve/delete reports on the go. Since I'm in Asia I often got them before my US counterparts, so could clean up the queue early on.

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.
And my Reddit account is now gone, I nuked it.
-
They’ve banned all of the good people that made up the site. I used to do Secret Santa. For 10 years! And I had mothers thank me for making their kids holidays. And they banned me. Because I made a death joke about how old McConnell was. Dude looks like death walking. Prove me wrong.
I was a good user. Dark humor isn’t hurting anyone. Reddit will die. Just like every other popular site.

Eat shit Spaz. Fuck you.

Same reason I left. Why hang around to get yelled at by bots about "living in a liberal Reddit echo chamber" WHILE the entire site is sucking fascist dick the entire time?
I remember when I got banned for saying that hey maybe it isn't hate speech to say that Israel shouldn't murder children.
WTF. It's israel's right to murder innocent people! /s

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.

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