Fuck Reddit.
Fuck Spez.
been banned on reddit for stating the truth already and tried many times to fix things. reddit is anti free speech on all accounts when it was nothing inflamatory just stating truth and their mods are mostly corrupt anyway for their industry agendas. lots of ai bots and spam. useless platform when it gets incorporated it becomes useless
At the end of the day that site is private property and at anytime the owners can boot anyone out they deem as “harmful”.
So if I understand this right… people who left because they were mad, won’t have an old reddit to ever come back to if they ever decide to go back and haven’t logged in for awhile?
yes, around 6 months or you can become a moderator
So just make your own sub is enough?
Fuck you, spez.
It was good while it lasted. Join Digg and geocities I guess. Reddit In Peace
My thoughts exactly
Reddit is mostly ai bots, & bots, and maybe a few genuine users.
I had my 18yo account 0erma-banned by ai. Then, ai reviewed ai … … ai said ai was correct but would send it up for further review… … by another ai. Who sent it to a human… … and the human sent me an apology. “Sometimes, we get things wrong. Your account has now been fully re-instated. We are sorry.” … and then ai stepped in and overrode the humans mods.
HAL 9000 is not fiction.
Lemmy are also bots.
Yeah and all they’ve been trained on are Linux distros and Star Trek forums.
Old.reddit still works fine on firefox on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 8+ but my PC, pixel fold, and every other device only lets me view the old style when browsing multiple subreddits. If I want to see an individual subreddit I append the address with a banned sub e.g. old.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales+narcofootage.
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
Reddit is gone move on
Was there for about 15 years. Been gone for over a year and I’m not looking back.
This is the modern reality of capital capturing digital communities.
More like deaddit amiright?
I have to say, this war on Old Reddit is doing wonders to curb my Reddit use.
It’s actually amazing how quickly it killed my usage of the site. I deleted my account years ago but still lurked every now and then. Now I literally can’t go back, I won’t download the app and the new site layout is pretty much unusable for me.
I stopped commenting years ago. Old reddit changes stopped me browsing too.
That change helped reduce scraping and automated abuse, but still allowed any logged-in account to access Old Reddit, including accounts with no prior Old Reddit use.
To close this gap, in the next few months, we’ll further limit access for logged-in users to only those who have used Old Reddit in the last six months
How horrible, ANY logged-in account can just access old reddit?? That needs to be fixed asap, how dare new users just use old reddit when they have a perfectly good shreddit available to them. — Reddit admins apparently
Nice admission there. Didn’t expect them to be this open about their true feelings on the matter.
We know RSS has been a beloved part of the open web for a long time, and we’re grateful to everyone who used it to stay connected to Reddit,
It’s like they aren’t even listening to the words they are saying themselves
Oh God they are dumping RSS too? Fucking hell that’s the only way I even use that platform anymore since it means getting a handful of news updates on some games without going there.
Yeah, last nail in the coffin for me. Fucked if I’m gonna wade through more than titles to sort through the bullshit. Maybe RSS-Bridge can save us, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. Wonder how bad their real user numbers will tank.
Yeah, they actually said the quiet part out loud.
My friendship ended with Reddit. Now Lemmy is my friend. 🫂
Until a comment you makes pisses off a power tripping mod and then you are permabanned from like 16 communities.
Shits infected here too.
Mods can’t manage more than 5 communities by design.
All the communities with power tripping mods here are either minor or have significant viable alternatives.
I wish that were true.
It is true. Did you even try?
Edit: why are you talking about being banned from 16 communities when the modlog only shows two bans? You wouldn’t be ban evading, would you?
I mean, you should have definitely been banned from the Seattle community for saying that Washington state deserved what was coming to it with ICE because they implemented gun control after mass shootings, but that didn’t happen to this account.
Luckily, Lemmy is a place, where you can communicate with the actual human beings.
Why are we still caring what Reddit does?
Because realistically I can only scroll on Fedi for maybe 20-30 minutes in a day before I’ve seen everything and if I have more time to kill, Reddit is there. Although I don’t comment there at all anymore, it’s truly worthless for conversation.
Why not try Duolingo or something? Or a crossword? The NYT app lets you play some games for free.
Reddit is fantastic for certain niche communities. On the whole, it fucking sucks, but it does contain so much helpful info because it just brings people together over a specific topic.
There is literally nowhere else I can go for live game threads for sports as good as reddit.
not that it’s much of an improvement but there is Discord.
It’s not an improvement at all, Discord is actively terrible for any community bigger than about two dozen people and I hate that it has taken the place of traditional forums.
There are so many of those. Literally just search the term sports forum, and there are millions of them that have extremely active threads for all games
Millions of them? Give me your top 200,000

Because when Reddit fucks up those users will look for alternatives, like Lemmy.
In this case it’s important to highlight that Lemmy has many different front ends and apps available. Lemmy can look however you’d like it to look.
I like to keep track of enshittification in general.
Because to forget it is to repeat it.
Fuck reddit but r/gunpla is 100x better than c/gunpla
So when the shitty AI moderation kills your latest account, your new one won’t be able to access the only decent interface. Good to know.
I only use reddit now to mod two subreddits. If I lose that account, that’s it, I’m gone. I already stopped posting news to my local city one because I just don’t care enough.
Same, a long time ago.
I never posted anything close to political or “sketchy” either. Was never impolite; it was just a place for niches. I still don’t know why I was banned/shadowbanned…
I am not signed in and old reddit works fine. I have noticed that subreddit specific search nsfw tick boxes dont always load for whatever reason.
