News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I don't know man, but I feel like I'm supporting a maniac CEO with every second I spend on reddit.

I do. But I can't bring myself to delete Sync from my phone. Its only purpose is to serve as a reminder that I'm waiting for Sync for Lemmy but sometimes I click on it by accident. Muscle memory.

I feel like going to the Chernobyl exclusion zone every time I had to specifically go in there, not to access content from there (I use libreddit, teddit or archive.org for that), but to check on my accounts (via old.reddit).

What I do is to just do what I need to do, see if any of my posts or comments have resurfaced, scrub them off, delete them (or just use Power Delete Suite for that), and then go back out without any delay. The less time I spend there, the better.

Thanks - this post made me think to check if there are browser plugins that automatically redirect Reddit links to teddit. There's teddit redirect for Firefox and teddit please for Chrome. Mobile is more difficult but it's a start.

No client anymore, so cannot visit anymore

I treat the blackout and what came after (replaced mods, etc) as a strike. I don’t cross picket lines and I don’t support scabs.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I quit visiting Reddit.

Rmemeber to use adblock + don't use the default app

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I just don't visit Reddit. Problem solved.

Have had a few moments where I've been tempted to open it up, and even that makes me feel grubby.

There are far worse things I have yet to boycott though, so it doesn't feel very balanced to have such a strong reaction to this particular thing.

Will visit in a few days to ensure that my comments have remained deleted and to close my accounts. I gather Reddit has been reinstating content deleted via PowerSuiteDelete and the like. Most of mine were done long before the recent crisis, and overwritten for a while before being deleted, so am hoping that though they'll still have original versions on a server somewhere, it will be too awkward for them to bother making them visible.

May also make a GPDR deletion request. Strongly suspect these companies don't truly respect those, but it does mean they have to be a bit more cautious with relevant data.

Since I use an ad blocker, visiting reddit means I'm making them spend money for no revenue.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

I won't go back. I'm a full lemming now.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wouldn't know, I haven't gone since the blackouts.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

same -I even removed the bookmark from firefox. used to be the first one on the right, now it's my email or something.
Still trying to figure out if I want to lemmy or kbin.
Lemmy seems more popular, but the dynamic feed is disruptive sometimes like I'll be reading a headline or looking at a thumbnail blown up by Imagus extension and then it shifts suddenly.
Kbin is more stable from that perspective, but I somehow have -2 rep points (that I care about for some stupid reason) despite having (so far) more ups than downs on my few comments. OH and the very frequent 503 errors on random pages, but I suspect that's growing pains from an enormous influx

-still haven't quite removed rif from the phone though. might check on it 7/1 and see if it works or not

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Right now, kbin is using boosts for the positive and downvotes for negative reputation points. I think there's a proposal to change to upvotes for the positive points.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I see, good to know that there's at least a proposal out there to make this less confusing!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Personally I don't. Reddit won't go away anytime soon.

Instead, I have a reminder to delete my posted content and account when 2 days are remaining until API becomes paid. The I would only visit Reddit using desktop and never on mobile.

I haven't taken baconreader off my phone yet because I'm not ready, but I also don't visit Reddit anymore either. I'm pretty happy on Lemmy right now, and I was thinking about giving Mastodon a go.
