Reddit plans to lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says | Reddit executives also discussed how they might introduce more ads into the social media platform

Welcome, I joined here after the API protests. It's a smaller community so content is slow to move but it's nice to have forums where you're having constructive conversations with people, not a huge amount of bots or repeated to death catch phrases
Enjoy this little bastion before it attracts mainstream attention.

With the API changes, I became read-only (without an account) on Reddit.
I now skim the communities that don't really exist here.
... it's actually saved me a lot of time now that I can't (and thus don't feel the need to) debate local politics with morons anymore!
... unless and until they come to Lemmy.

What's Reddit? A clone of Lemmy?
-
I left 2 years ago from my 13yo account, deleted everything as well
Obligatory Fuck You spez
No regrets, I love Lemmy
-
I was thinking a profit sharing concept for the people running the sub would make sense. I’m sure that’s not what it is though.
-
It's for people with that much money to waste. Saudi princes and the like.
-
Lumbergh...
-
RIP Reddit
-
Looking forward to having more conversations with fewer people. I’m not trying to argue politics anymore. It’s fruitless.
-
Yeah that’s pretty much the only real market I can see for this.
-
I haven't had an account since the Apollo purge but fuck Spez.
-
This is the actual reason for me too. I'm making a point to never visit that website again.
There's exceptions like when searching for troubleshooting help and a relevant result happens to be on Reddit, but otherwise I avoid it as much as possible.

After reddit goes paywall It's time to Lemmy
-
Welcome!
The fediverse situation has been improved a lot since the first API migration, hope you enjoy it here!
-
Lemmy can expect some inbound traffic

Is there anywhere I can find a complete scrape of Reddit threads and comments from before the 3rd party app apocalypse? There was a lot of useful info shared on there, but I don't want anything to do with what that site has become. I'm happy just to CTRL+F a big dataset. It'll probably still work better than either Reddit or Google does nowadays. Without media I imagine I could fit it somewhere.
Also, Spez is a greedy little pig boy.

Hi, I think I’m doing this right. Just joined Lemmy lol because of this. Can people see my comment?
-
Yes! Welcome to the fediverse
-
Wild that that was almost 2 years ago now..
-
Risk vs reward. I could see reddit swinging either way depending on which they think smells like more money.
