Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
I mean, I would be super surprised if they didn’t expect it. They will probably overstep their authority and clean it up and get caught like they did last time and cause yet more strife.
I’m just glad to have left the place when Apollo stopped working.
Reddit absolutely expected it. Wanted it, even. Reddit is going to show prospective investors its usage and engagement statistics for the duration of Place to demonstrate its continuing viability even after the API controversy.
Absolutely. Any publicity is good publicity for them. Stats are used to tell their story to shareholders
It’s not. I read this in any post here and it just doesn’t make any sense.
r/place made the rounds the previous times outside of Reddit. It showed what an engaged community can do, and it was beautiful (especially the first one). This one will only make it clear how much of the active community is against these changes. And it’s making it much more obvious than ever.
Yes people are using the site but Reddit won’t make bank on this. Most of the people protesting are probably using scripts and so on pc, and as such for sure using ad block as well. That’s no revenue for Reddit. Even the official mobile app can’t load it, so people aren’t even using that.
Yes they can boast about having more engagement and activity for a few days but that’s not worth it in this case at all. Reddit shots themselves in (the other foot).
Reddit isn’t looking for immediate ad revenue from Place users. Reddit is looking for the extreme engagement of Place to have great stats to show investors and advertisers.
Only to immediately bomb following, showing that their metrics are extremely unreliable, and their user base volatile.
If advertising is becoming hard on Twitter who is going to be buying big ad campaigns on Reddit? I can see it in my reply, products you don't want to support.
This is why I have been pressing the ONLY solution to this for the past month.
Do you want change? Leave Reddit. Delete the app. Never go back.
The French flag had a guillotine with the "snoo" character labeled "Spez" in it. It's since been removed.
I’m just glad they’re streaming on YouTube so I can see the shot show without visiting Reddit and pumping their numbers
💀
I reported that to YouTube for harassing huffman by saying "fuck spez."
As unlikely as it is, Reddit getting banned from YouTube for harassing Spez would be hilarious.
I want my 3rd Farty Apps
Don’t lie, you just wanted to post Deep Cock Galactic
Don't forget My Little Porno.
Ah yes, My Little Porno and Deep Cock Galactic.
Cock and stone brother!
If you cock'n'bone, you're never alone!
This sort of thing is why we need to save 3rd Farty Apps
People should stop projecting all their hate onto the co-founder and top dog admin Spez and hate the entire platform and site itself instead.
Tbf , we are trying to recreate certain elements of that platform in the fediverse and such a take would be needlessly nuanced
"Stop the corporations" or "save the API" just isn't as effective as saying f the guy who decided to change things
We should go and write AARON SWARTZ FOREVER on it too.
R.I.P Aaron Swartz. The world did not deserve you.
Wouldn't it be great to carve out a space for ”Lemmy" there?
I'd love to but that would be giving reddit more traffic so I personally won't be
Reddit's normal traffic is 52 million users a day and 450 million a month. Lemmy has something like 150k active and 500k total users. Contributing to a thousandth of a percent of their activity to spread awareness of Lemmy isn't going to even be visible unless literally everyone went.
I also stopped using Reddit, but I don't begrudge people for poking their head back in. Though the Lemmy pixels got wiped out at some point.
Convenient timing on r/place sorta like it’s to drive up traffic
They're also purging mod teams right now
I like how yesterday everyone was like "wow what braindead timing, what are they even thinking" and today it's people posting non-stop r/place updates.
Their goal is to get people to use their shitty platform and get ads into eyeballs. Congratulations, you all fell for it.
DEEP COCK GALACTIC is doing well, I see.
they are allowing everyone to vent these frustrations and heal this is unacceptable
I already told my discord buddies that the only way I'd go to place would be to draw graphic pornography. It really should just be a giant pixelized Goatse or LemonParty made out of Fuck Spezs lol.
Save Bro Farty Apps!
Never forget what was stolen from redditors...while completely caving and still using the platform.
a sad day when Bluey and Bingo are in worse shape than MLP porn
r/SAVE3RDFARTYAPPS ?
Glorious
Yo dawg answer that survey for your 3 cents
