What a liar. I hope that pasty cat f***** suffers a slowly from feline AIDS. Seeing as he’s the reason the feline population even caught it.
If I may say that I hope more people support Lemmy. We need to get away from Reddit and it will be difficult. I’m kinda new to Lemmy and I plan on donating.
Welp good bye old reddit
The real story is buried in there:
Reddit is going to ask for a bit more identifying information from its users, too.
Yeah not going to happen.
if they said that about 3rd party apps 2 years ago i would never found Lemmy
Its been 2 years already aye. I was so optimistic at the time. “Finally I’ll be able to stop doom scrolling”
How innocent I was
Yeah, these assholes made me engage with them!
Fuck you cunt (endearing) I’m on sm because I had to reply to your comment >:(
Red Reader is an open source, ad free, third party Reddit app that has been allowed to continue free use of the API due to its usage amongst the disabled community.
I’ve been using it for nearly a decade & continues to get ignored by folks for some reason.
It’s also in the official Play Store, I believe.
I actually continued to use a 3rd party app up until a few months ago. I created a Lemmy account when all that happened 2 years ago, but I didn’t use it much. Glad to see it’s been improved, well until recently finding out the creators of Lemmy support Russia.
That’s the beauty of an idea, though. The worst people can have good ideas and good people can benefit from them. In certain cases, they can use the ideas against the creator themselves. I just consider it a fact of life and avoid giving those people my money directly where possible.
Who cares? Lemmy is open. There’s already many alternatives that are connected, mbin, piefed, etc.
Edit: I don’t agree with their views, but this platform is now bigger than them, and they designed it to be that way. I have to respect that.
Yeah, it’s disappointing to know some of the things the Lemmy devs support but this being a federated platform means you don’t really have to be on Lemmy to interact with the posts and users here. Piefed and Mbin work just as well and are fully independent projects so you could try those instead.
It kind of makes that people with such strong/extreme views would have enough initiative to start it though. We need to remember that Lemmy development was going on for years before most us took notice.
Boost still works as long as you patch it with your own API key
Doubt
Cool, it’d be nice if spez dies in a fire.
that’s the smile my friend gets when they’ve got their butt plug in…
Huffman will never know such pleasure.
he might - if he ever gets his head out of there
Hah. I got banned from /r/politics years ago for using that saying to a toxic rando.
That place was a shithole.
straight up propaganda network. same with /r/conservative - same with /r/interestingasfuck - same with just about any sub with more than a thousand subscribers. digg on fentanyl.
/r/Canada
totally. i’m not alone when i say that canada shouldn’t and wouldn’t have gone this way if it weren’t for the devil down below.
fuck you! i got banned from about a dozen subreddits because i told someone on /r/conspiracy that they said something stupid.
Oh yeah??? Well fuck you, I got banned from r/all
i just… how? i mean i was banned from the site, but that’s a whole new thing, right? edit - fuck yououuou!!!
Reddit let that sub be a global hub for dangerous anti-vaxx misinformation during the pandemic while going after everyone else. Made zero sense.
yeah, so it makes perfect sense to limit the people who point that out, right?
This vibe reminds me of the Reddit I enjoyed back in 2010. No, we can’t always be toxic af everywhere (sometimes it’s a fun little treat), but at the same time, not everything needs to be a goddamn bubble-wrapped “safe space.”
The before times. We were so innocent then. So cute.
This is a change from “we will keep it online forever” which is common for a pigboy
why does it matter once you’ve been banned for saying something and they won’t tell you why and you can’t appeal the decision?
they’re actively moving users OFF of their platform.
It’s what they did to me. They made up an excuse because I was critical of Musk.
huffman is both terrified and aroused by elon, it’s fucking weird.
They’re both accelerationists, which is a doomsday cult that wants to rule over the ashes of a world they help destroy.
Edit: And white supremacist Nazis. Can’t forget that part.
wow, happy isn’t the word to describe how i feel to see that other people are aware of accelerationism. to me, it’s by far the biggest threat to society as a whole. these rich cunts are so fucked up, and the French had the right idea about heads with thoughts like that.
They’d be the cringiest of edgelords if they weren’t so pernicious and dangerous.
pernicious is now my favourite word, but i digress.
Scaroused
new word for the English language, and i’m sorry: humilijactulation
edit - i forgot to say i like yours more
Ill donate another word: Masculinititties.
i guess i’ll just have to change the name i gave to my hard little man nipples. that’s okay. any suggestions?
edit - i’m far too out of the loop to be able to make things out of stuff now, but it would be really funny if someone started a campaign to rename men’s nipples.
edit2 - i’d feel like an ass if i didn’t make a suggestion, too. so… napples?
Elon probably gave him some spare change
you know, i hate the guy but i’d still say something nice to him if he’d give me some of his spare change. and so would just about anyone. but this is an obvious problem. jesus christ, for a country that’s spent the past two decades preaching national security, it’s funny to see what’s happening now. i’m sure the fall of Rome was much less funny (but i guess they didn’t have tiktok back then either - edit - or memes)
I don’t know I left voluntarily and overwrote all my comments with garbage data.
i’ve already done that, too, with all of the meaningful stuff i contributed. sad, really. but not, really.
When they say “people,” does that mean, 1, 20, 8 million, or what? They will define it and I’m sure this is a way of saying they’re getting rid of it so there isn’t a grand exodus.
Yea this sounds like preparing to make excuses and claim “no one was using it” (aka less than 1 billion users). I’m expecting it to be removed in 2026.
I guess this does matter to me, because every time i see new reddit, I take the requisite 10 seconds to retype the URL and change to old reddit. I never log in anymore, but I do make sure its old reddit.
I have no reason to believe tbis. Not that it matters to me.
old.reddit is literally the only thing that keeps me coming back. i hope they kill it. i’m sick of scrolling for ten minutes just to find a post worth clicking on. i’ve got netflix for shit like that.
I’m still using old reddit, but I’m very excited about the return of Digg and partnership of Kevin Rose and Alex Ohanian. Hopefully that scares Huffman and somewhere in the Great Beyond, Aaron Swartz is smiling.
Does it only work on a desktop now? Even before I stopped using reddit regularly, the old.reddit domain stopped being in the old reddit format, and looks no different from just going directly to reddit.com.
There’s a browser extension that forces it.
Yes, it still works in browsers.
yet they’re keep making it harder to use. they removed the old login form for no reason lol (it still works if you add back the removed html so it’s obv no security bs)
Who cares. Reddit is dead.
Worrying about Reddit on Lemmy reeks of insecure-ex when your new girlfriend is way hotter and actually nice.
These kinds of “who cares” comments are rather rude, I came across an article about Reddit and I posted it to the relevant comm.
Doesn’t mean we’re all spending every minute of everyday thinking about Reddit
I’m a rude boi. I’m just made this way
Unsub from this community if you don’t want to see anything Reddit related.
You are actively viewing a community called !reddit@lemmy.world , then complaining about the community containing news and info about Reddit.
Yeah I’m dumb
nah, you’re not dumb - you’re just used to reddit! :P
The Japan-related subs where people share visa, legal, medical, financial and other resources are super important to those of us living here and, despite many times asking, will not move over. Moving over without the people holding that knowledge is pointless. So, as much as I dislike it, I still have to use a very limited section of reddit for things like that (being a new small business owner in Japan be hard).
You might want to just block this community then.
There are still some niche subs that Lemmy hasn’t replaced yet, and this is a place where we can discuss Reddit without having to worry about shadowbans, automods, or other means of Reddit admins quelling discussions that they don’t like.
Yeah I’m dumb
Many niche communities have not migrated to Lemmy or any other platform. The value isn’t the platform, it’s the people that make the content. Until reddit is truly dead, it will continue rotting itself from the inside out, and that affects all of us who still need to use reddit for the niche.
Network effects are a hell of a drug
Yeah, you know what’s nice about Lemmy? Not being shadow banned, or banned for expressing a legitimate opinion that’s appropriate considering the topic at hand. I mean, it still happens on Lemmy, but at the community level, it’s not pervasive throughout.
