Been thinking of making a post like this for some time, apologies if some of this is not completely relevant: this community seems more like it’s about Reddit the platform/product than Reddit the social “thing”, but I’m sure a lot of people have similar experiences to mine. Maybe on some instances more than others....
So ban me over my pro-Palestine stance and well the rule I broke was basically depicting child abuse/neglect. But that as well has me going cause it’s like when it comes to the war how can it really be define as child abuse to show how the children of Palestine are suffering. Anyway I hate reddit so much right now and have...
Btw for those who don’t know, this app is called Blind. It’s where tech workers go to anonymously post. Also 700k TC is basically their yearly take-home pay, and it’s a real number (see levels.fyi)...
I’ve been using Boost(s) since the APIcalypse since I mod a dead subreddit. A few hours ago the app stopped showing content and started showing errors. Is it just a me thing or is this more general?
someone on a subreddit said they had brain bleeding. i asked how it happened. a mod immediately removed it and said that it was an intrusive comment or some nonsense…i messaged them asking them to explain how, and i explained how i thought it would actually be beneficial for the readers if they decided to answer and that they...
Browsing Reddit at work like I’ve literally done every work day for the last six years, suddenly Reddit won’t let me vote. Says my account has been suspended, but all I have to do is reset my password, using the email address I have on file. I don’t have one. Can’t get the email to reset the password, can’t add an...
New here. Migrated from Reddit. Still trying to figure out Lemmy - what’s everyone’s experiences like coming from Reddit and does Lemmy serve as a good alternative? Pros and cons/differences?...
As a little background, I didn’t actively use Reddit for months following the blackout. I still barely stop in over there and if I do I’m never logged in our contributing to the communities there (where I was previously a daily poster/commenter)....
As soon as people showed the slightest signs of paying less attention to the Israel-Gaza situation, the entire frontpage is suddenly not enshittified anymore. Wow, look at this insane rapper beef! I haven’t seen memes this funny in ages! Hey hockey fans, look at this insane helldivers 2 drama! Of course, all the political...
Historically, I’ve perceived Reddit as slightly left leaning, with strong pockets of conservatives. Recently though, a vast majority of comment sections seem to excuse violence, such as in this thread (TW: police brutality), where people say things like...
I use old.reddit.com, and had trouble logging in from there today. “Too many redirects”. I also use the Redirect to old.reddit.com extension. When I disabled that, the login link it now takes you to is www.reddit.com/login/. That, of course, takes you to www.reddit.com....
So, I used the Reddit app a long time ago. I was eventually permanently banned for “report abuse” because I kept reporting people calling for genocide in Gaza. (This after I was banned from every news sub and many more for calling out the IDF’s war crimes before it became mainstream.) Anyway. I deleted the app and all the...
So I ran Power Delete Suite as I periodically do. I have it configured to edit a comment and then delete it. It deletes comments that are older than 1 week old....
There are a few subreddits I check out from time to time because Lemmy doesn’t have the volume of users required to keep those niche conversations active....
So I checked out reddit after a long time and was going through the top of r/videogames subreddit and I could clearly see a pattern in most of the posts there. Posts were mostly like “what game ______ for you?” or “what game _____ like this?” Now I could be wrong but it doesn’t feel ‘organic’ (if that’s correct...
It is a subconscious level ad for the utility/value of the platform. You don’t need to be overt about the screenshot containing Lemmy by name. Any subtle details are all that is needed. This is all it takes to attract the most valuable people; simply show them that they are missing out on something useful. It is effective psy...
