We experienced the #RedditBlackOut and we want to give the power back to the users.
We just granted €3000 to @LemmyDev and €333 to @ernest to support the new #threadiverse who already has hundreds of "subs" and thousands of users.
This grant is part of our engagement with the @copiepublique initiative that gathers companies who pledged to share profits to grant #FLOSS and #digitalCommons.
Nous avons assisté au blackout #reddit et nous avons souhaité redonner le pouvoir aux utilisateurs ! ✊
Nous versons 3000 € à https://join-lemmy.org et 333 € à https://kbin.pub qui proposent des alternatives avec déjà plusieurs dizaines de milliers de "sous" et de membres actifs de ce nouveau #threadiverse 🧵
Cela fait partie du 1% de notre chiffre d'affaires que nous versons tous les ans avec @copiepublique et on est pas les seuls !
🤬 Reddit Gives Final Warning to Subreddits Using NSFW Protest Tactic
—@PCMag
“Please immediately correct the NSFW labeling on your subreddit. Failure to do so will result in action being taken on your moderator team by the end of this week,” Reddit told(Opens in a new window) the moderators of r/PICs. “This means moderators involved in this activity will be removed from this mod team.”
Well everyone, it's the first week in July, and #Reddit CEO Steve Huffman is still a lying asshat who treats Redditors as voiceless resources to exploit. So, as promised, I'm off Reddit and out of r/zfs for good.
The good news is, Practical ZFS is up and running as a replacement, with more than 100 registrations in its first day online and more continuing to come in. I hope to see you there soon!
Community Members and Community Supporters wanted!
I've set up a new home for OpenZFS community news, discussion, and education at https://discourse.practicalzfs.com/ and although it's still new and ugly, it's ready for folks to start kicking the tires.
I have deleted all my posts/comments on #Reddit ahead of deleting my entire account tomorrow. If you are leaving as well, don't just leave your comments and posts in limbo! That allows reddit to profit off your content through ads. #redditmigration#redditblackout
The guys from the Open Source Security Podcast are right about the fiasco of Twitter and Reddit shutting down their APIs:
"The people who are using these APIs are not the kind of people you want to push out of your ecosystem - they are the people that literally built the ecosystem."
What do most TikTok users and Reddit users have in common? They still have understand anything about how to check Reddit, TikTok (and other socials) properly, even without need to see a single ad. But obviously they react like if the end of Apollo is equivalent to the end of the world.
#reddit tells the mods that if they want to stay closed, the users will have to vote on it. Users vote to stay closed and then Reddit says they have to open up anyway.
First they came for /r/pics ... now Reddit are coming for the individual personal subreddits
Quite some years ago I'd realised that amongst the problems with using Reddit as a personal blogging space (my avatar here is a relic of that, if you'd not put the two together) was that I do not in fact have any permanent claim to that space.
Reddit's previous policies of moderator re-assignment bothered me. The policies apparently instituted September 2022 and being rolled out aggressively in recent days ... have not weakened my concerns.
And, checking in now, I find a day-old modmail to /r/dredmorbius, a subreddit which only ever was my own personal posts with comments from a few friends, and about 1,000 subscribers ... has received a notice to reclaim by /u/Modcodeofconduct, screenshot attached here.
I have not abandoned the sub. I had closed it in protest of Reddit's continued failings and war against its volunteer moderators and general community.
So this is new or I have never seen it before. The message comes up when I open a link to #Reddit in my browser.
What is this? The content could be inappropriate but it isn’t inappropriate anymore if you open it in the official Reddit app? This doesn’t make sense at all except that they want to force people into their app.
Oh. Reach out #reddit admin about "what next steps will take place" if I don't reopen.
The lights aren't on anymore. I've left.
I was the creator & sole mod of most of my communities. We aren't "stewards in a position of trust with our users." We made a house & invited users in if they liked the way it was run.
I still mod a few #fannish reddit comms close to my heart in the hopes I can find a decentralized self-hosting option to redirect them to. I want my own damn house. #redditblackout
Schon bemerkenswert, wie User gegen eine Plattform kämpfen, bei der sie freiwillig sind. Als gäbe es keine Alternativen.
Meine Prophezeiung ist, die User werden auf lange Sicht die Kröten schlucken.
