Porn Historically Decides Tech Adoption... Fediverse? ( kbin.social )
Historically, porn has organically decided which platform or formats become dominant. It's incredibly anti-censorship, but walks many fine lines....

Mojang's dropping its official support of the Minecraft Subreddit ( www.overclock3d.net )
Minecraft's subreddit is losing its official support from Mojang, and Reddit's management is to blame

Well, it happened a bit earlier than I expected but I'm officially here now. Hello friends 👋 ( media.kbin.social )

Reddit seems to be speedrunning 'self-destruct and devalue IPO'. What would be Reddit's next worst steps?
Given how Reddit has responded to the whole API, community-mods, etc. fiasco, I felt like they're doing some of the more effective things in not only destroying their communities but also their IPO valuation....
Never thought I would get emotional about losing an app ( kbin.social )
I was with Reddit for 12 years and bounced between Rif and Apollo, I am sad I am losing both

Unpopular opinion: deleting your Reddit account is 100% justified, but mass-scrambling all of your posts and comments with an online tool is worse than leaving them as is ( kbin.social )

What was the subreddit that represented to you the best example of downspiral of quality? To me it was /r/dataisbeautiful ( kbin.social )
At first it was all about presenting data in an original looking way. In the end it was about pushing political ideas in your throat using a plain bar graph. It was not about sharing something interesting you found but about taking advantage of a captive audience.

Hot take: 18 years of user contributions to reddit will serve as a base model for an AI that generates content and conversations. the reddit experience continues as a simulation, to harvest clicks, sales and ad revenue. ( kbin.social )
most of the time you'll be talking to a bot there without even realizing. they're gonna feed you products and ads interwoven into conversations, and the AI can be controlled so its output reflects corporate interests. advertisers are gonna be able to buy access and run campaigns. based on their input, the AI can generate...

As Reddit protests turn to porn-bombing, advertisers face increasing brand safety concerns ( www.thedrum.com )
Protests on the social platform have entered a new phase, with users shirking the platform’s NSFW content rules en masse. The development has some media buyers on high alert, experts say.

Top of r/all ( old.reddit.com )
Is this new to post-blackout reddit is or has it been this way for a while. Top post of r/all is a tweet from like 2 years ago about a “current event” that no one has talked about since then and 100% of the comments are talking about this like this topic is the focus of today’s or any recent time’s 24 hour news cycle....

Reddit feels like it's gone back to 100% normalcy already. Was the protest a failure? ( beehaw.org )
I was looking at reddit today, and the front-page felt like nothing happened. I scrolled and scrolled and scrolled and clicked into comments. Everything is popping off buzzing with activity. All the subreddits I was subscribed to that went dark are now back up and business as usual....
