Just reddit things.

Musk bought twitter because he wanted free speech...
Ironic huh
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.

Don’t let it piss you off. Just don’t participate. Leave Reddit. Leave FB. Delete, delete, delete.
It still impacts a lot of people because we here are in the minority and we can’t save them all. So it’s absolutely valid to have this piss you off.

He did. Free speech for bigots that is.

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.
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.

That...should be intolerable for redditors, you'd think this would finally make them leave.

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.
I mean, does it really matter? Are you going to read 100 responses on a single post? I feel from Reddit that the larger communities get the shittier they get. More people = smaller intersection of common ground, which leads to dull content and repeating platitudes.
-
Then lets change that
It's hard for the subreddits that barely have any traction as is. But it's entirely feasible for most of them. Is there a way on lemmy to have small communities new post always come up on the top of your feed?

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 should only post critics of Doge now.

Personally I couldn‘t 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. You‘re 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 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.

Legitimately who cares though? You‘re 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 didn’t 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 I’ve seen them 1000 before. Like being forced to watch the most unfunny 90’s sitcom.
I realize now that I would only comment on other comments— 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.
