Get well soon charlie! Let’s hope the break doesn’t grow back together wrong.

That’s part of what made reddit interesting tho. Having these niche subs that still had a reasonable amount of activity. If they loose that this is the one thing they had over lemmy for me personally. I’ve never been particularly attached to say r/pics but r/aspiememes was the bees knees. They are coming to lemmy by now.

Yup. But then that another reason for users to leave reddit behind. Which should interest reddit. But it’s been clear for a while they can’t even act in their own best interest.

Russia fines Reddit for first time over 'banned content,' RIA says ( www.reuters.com )

Russia on Tuesday fined social media site Reddit for the first time for not deleting "banned content" that it said contained "fake" information about Russia's military campaign in Ukraine, RIA reported on Tuesday, citing a Moscow court....

Good match. Let the IPO addict and the cash strapped authoritarian duke it out.

They look like they have a LOT of questions! Kind of like a cat next to their empty bowl. 🧡

An interesting case of moderation in the fediverse ( blog.ownlifeful.com )

A small group of people were offended by a joke that unintentionally came across transphobic, and as a result this persons account was blacklisted. Even after getting the account reinstated, there were lasting complications with the state of the account (these probably technical issues) and the account was basically lost for...

Wait what? Tranny is offensive? But Kim Petras tweeted about being a tranny with a Grammy. This non binary person is confused.

Especially after they cracked down on the protests like they did.

So actions have consequences?

Also from the article

And because your Reddit account can be permabanned at any time by Reddit’s Anti-Evil Operations bot with a modest amount of reporting from a number of sockpuppet accounts, you’re not able to tell these people to fuck off and go to hell when they inevitably ask why you’re discriminating against them and their sickening photos.

I did not know that. That’s a horrible system.

I’m also a big fan of the complete tone deafness of Tim Rathschmidt wanting to help mods mod. After they nuked all the apps with the mod tools.

Not that I ascribe any sort of reddit awareness to Huffman but even then it’s a new level of not understanding his own product. Twitter had oodles of celebrities, politicians, journalists, activists, government accounts, companies and so on and the verification was important before musk ruined it. I’m not sure reddit has actual entities of public life that regularly post. I’ve seen a stray Arnold Schwarzenegger mentioned somewhere and I think a YouTube video about tenacious D responding to fans but that’s it. Who on earth needs verification on reddit as a user?

Reddit Refugee here venting

I’m in the post-ban blackpilled mode right no so please forgive me. I know reddit is falling apart but it isn’t happening fast enough. Is there any hope that the whole site will be destroyed? I really just want the whole site / app completely destroyed and thew Vichyite mods unable to have their power trips anymore.

I think it could lead to a whole load of narcissistic rage to see his brilliant ideas backfire.

I have a very small rented flat and an extremely tight budget. So maybe having something that does things ‘ok’ is appropriate for the situation? 🤔🤔

Thanks! Not in the US but I have been wondering which modules are good. And affordability is certainly a very big factor.

Why did I just notice reddit was good despite it’s leadership?

I really wonder about bot synergy. How many haiku’s will one not write that another will correct the spelling on and a third find that all words are in alphabetical order?

Product road maps changed in May as the company focused on the API changes and on boosting content creation by users.

Yeah… The api debacle totally boosted content creation…

I’m really fascinated at how in the lead up to this they consistently alienated moderators and users so into reddit that they looked up 3PAs. Like they really went ham on the users that make their site work and go all shocked pikachu when people leave/disengage/protest. That’s a level of social incompetence I can’t conceptualise when the stakes are this high.
