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.
They are all concentrated on the tankie and conservative communitiesm

I was a 12 year member with nearly a million karma. I was permabannef right after the inauguration, for repeating an anti-HitlerPig opinion I'd repeating numerous times before he was elected.
I came to Lemmy and found out I wasnt alone, i was part of a bloodbath. I've seen posts from many people with 10+ year accounts who were banned. We're the people who built that site, and made it what it was. Somehow we managed to be active for over a decade without a problem, but suddenly we all became violators in the same month, and need to be banned.
Now we find out Spaz wants to buy TikTok, AND The MuskRat threatened him. No doubt the threat was that if he had a prayer of being awarded the privilege of buying TikTok, he was going to have to obey, and violate Reddit's foundational free speech mission. The classic Reddit is dead.
Thanks for the warning. Spaz buys tiktok and I delete it. Bout to already, honestly.

DNC started astroturfing heavy around 2015 and kept pushing. It's been an entire decade of slop on that hellsite
Dnc isn't on Reddit much, which is a separate issue the the GOP have successfully coopted all social media, thats why they are in power

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.
Now many of the major subs are concentrated to a less than 100 mods , which controls over 500+ subs.

Good. As shitty as they've been and as hostile as they've become to their own users, I'd live little more than watching the entire damned things crash and burn. More (but still not very) likely though is them desperately selling off before it completely self destructs. Of course if they do sell it, whoever they sell to will likely either make things worse or just shutter it. Most likely they'll stay the course and continue hemorrhaging usefulness and thus popularity.
Any way you read the cards Reddit is in a tailspin that they seem unwilling to do what is necessary to pull out of. Which is to say, they're too stubbornly idiotic to reverse their stupid, stupid changes and make a more open, user friendly, and community friendly platform. And I don't see Spez being that smart.
Probably turn into Y/A answers before shuttling the site completely.

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
Full AI moderation is what killed it, it was liberally and indiscriminately banning people last month with the slightest indiscretions

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.
I contributed to Reddit for 4 years and I got banned supposedly for posting putting down a bull terrier that violently attacked a family member and their was a child in the family,
I have a suspicion that my negative political comments about what is happening in Government may have been the real reason
All my friends that were on Reddit have been banned they are all good people with views
No free speech on Reddit it will gradually die

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.
That's where Russian trolls come in,
-
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.
Lol I sold mine in January. I'm fucking Warren Buffet.

There may still be lawsuits, however. There are still many ways that he could lose a lot of what he gained.
I think you mean presidential pardons
-
That's where Russian trolls come in,
Do you think people are buying it, though?
I've never seen so much cynicism against all things controlled media as I see today? -
Came over during the great 3rd party app API debacle. It didn't even make the list. Am I old now?
-
Not to mention how many posts are made to get you to react viscerally, instead of engage with the community - things like AITA seem especially prone to this.
Politics is the most obvious, most of its run by AI
-
Wait until they figure out that reddit provides very little of value. The users are the ones who post content and keep the site alive.
Reddit sold its user data for AI training that is the sole purpose of why spez allowed the site
-
i wonder if reddit will eventually ragequit and restrict access to all content in there before trying to sell it off
They will paywall first or become like Facebook, require more and more about your personal identity, like face scans, IDs,,etc
-
I got banned in 2022 for hate speech against Cops. Ive been lurking with libreddit.
Did you know many subs are controlled by former and current Leo. Justiceserved, legal advice, publicfreakout,,etc
-
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.
I was chasing in R/pics that the OP was barking up the wrong tree about Gaza, blaming of course Biden but no Republicans ever
-
I think I linked to it before here months ago but Reddit won't let mods go dark without prior authorization. The mods basically gave up any means of meaningful protest outside of leaving by capitulating during the API revolt.
Powermods also control dozens of subs each.
-
I think fediverse being the ocean is apt.
We’re just here, with wave after wave eroding the shore of the island that is Reddit.
Would lemmyy be brittania,

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.
This time, they overdid it. Since Nov 5th there were at least 3 ban waves by Feb 13th. The same time I got banned, now we are in the 5th to 6th ban wave right now. This way more than normal
