One more reason to use Lemmy.

One of the most recurring things I see here is the mods are at wits end with Reddit Admins again. They've given up a lot of leverage in doing another blackout, but they really need to ask themselves what they have to gain being unpaid volunteers for a website clearly working against its users.

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.
Literally the next post under this one, sorting by 1d top posts, has 147 comments

So the Twitter boss gets to order around the Reddit boss? Typical Stevie... No spine

i feel like musk is going to demand reddit get rid of old reddit next because it's too nice a layout
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.

Thank you for not immediately going to "world", just because it has the most users.

I don't feel bad that I got banned by the guy behind the cybertruck. Ahahahaha.

I feel like as an A’s fan. The same thing happened to Reddit. Owners turned it into a shit hole.
As a fellow A’s fan I completely agree this analogy.

Takes time to quit an abusive relationship.

It is worse, I was convinced I was having discussions with AI multiple times. It seemed to me that they were using some subs for AI to post content and then interact with human and AI. It is another laboratory to train their AI.
I used to help out in r/Botdefense
The amount of them was ridiculous and only because the makers made another bot to report them to use (with stats), could we even keep up. That was before greddy piggy spez shut down API access and now? Ewww

You obviously weren't here for the guy who didn't want to poop for days. There were a LOT of replies on that one.

I've never considered that a limitation.
You only need one other person in addition to yourself, for a good discussion.
If anything, here I'm finding I actually get replies, because my comment didn't drown among a hundred others.

I never really thought of it like this despite it being obvious. Very well said

I left moderating some significant subs back when with the 3rd party app protests, but did return to Reddit after that to start my own.
But now, since early December I'm done-done.
My account has been deleted (as with Discord), and I'm all in on the fediverse. Seeing the proposed changes (the concept of a paid sub that Spez is so adament about?), I just had enough. And the more news of Reddit I see, the happier I am I did.
Most of my daily time now is spent on Mastodon, but I am here every few days trying to share a post or two.

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.
This is often overlooked. The conversations are great on the niche or smaller communities available on reddit and the experience is great. But for the most part, frontpage and every other sub has been taken over by repost bots or repeated jokes or politics.

So more traffic for Lemmy, Mbin & PieFed

More content than on Lemmy.

Don’t let it piss you off. Just don’t participate. Leave Reddit. Leave FB. Delete, delete, delete.
