News and Discussions about Reddit
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:
Rules
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.

MODERATORS
I dunno - I'm here and about the only way I've interacted with reddit since they killed RIF is with Hermit using a suspended account (scrolling combatfootage once in a while).
Previously I upvoted and commented? Not anymore. Now I'm not important but I don't imagine I'm completely alone...
I'm not back, I don't miss that place - kbin/lemmy has been awesome and getting better every day.
This place reminds me of Reddit 10+ years ago
Unless we can agree on a definition of a victory, it's pointless to say whether they "won". For example as far as the FB users are concerned, FB might have won with Reddit ages ago.
We are here and I don't know about you but I'm glad to be here with you all.
Yup, reddit never cared about the user. They're not a nonprofit. They're a business. So this wasn't a surprise to me.
As a former Reddit user, I'd like to think I traded up to the fediverse.
Lol this has just started. Once they IPO and we learn how many tens of millions spez made off mod's unpaid labor, more and more mods (and power users) will wonder why they are doing unpaid work just so spez can get rich.
How many billions did that one company figure they lost on likely market cap? And they want to say they won lol.
I'm doing my part!
Eh, who knows. You can buy a news story now so we'll never really know much of the truth. I know I haven't been back, and I don't even care about API stuff, I just disliked the way the CEO was so dismissive of what the reader/user base wanted.
What price victory? They've lost user confidence, they've lost the faith and trust of moderators, they've lost apps which made the site easier to use. Spez has abandoned any credibility he had with users and now just looks like another self-serving tech bro, willing to cut his own mother's throat to raise his company's stock price a half point. Whatever Reddit has "won" was not worth the sacrifice.
I guess. I only go back for a couple of niche subreddits that will never make reddit any money. And I canceled my Premium subscription.
So... they won, good for them I guess.

They "won" short term. Let's see what Reddit is like in a year.
But as other's here have pointed out, those of us that left are the real winners. While Reddit will always be around, it's already going through enshitification. It's only a matter of time of when the majority abandon it.
