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.

this is a slapfight I can get behind. I'm with team piss baby on this one.

[–] charade_you_are 1 points 1 hour ago

I don't really understand what piss baby means but I like the sound of it

Close, but that's Texas Gov Abbott. Easy mistake, as they're both giant pieces of shit.

Reddit has benefited from Google search updates and internal site improvements that have helped it gain a significant amount of new and returning users, which the social company refers to as logged-out users, over the past year and a half. Reddit has said it is working to convince logged-out users to create accounts as logged-in users, which are more lucrative for its business.

Expect to see more login paywall bullshit from Reddit.

The best way to increase the usage base of a social media site is to block people from accessing it. Everybody knows that.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 week ago (8 children)

Lol. I was perma banned cause I said something mean about Trump.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 18 hours ago

I was site banned for saying anti-zionism is not the same as anti-semitism. The mod called me an antisemite and a nazi.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago

Every ban is a potential new fedi enjoyer

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I was "suspended" (by the admins, from the whole site -- not just banned by mods from a particular subreddit) because I accurately reported misinformation in r/conservative and the snowflake mods whined that it was "report abuse."

-13% after hours on one day is huge. Many stock markets having emergency stops if the main index drops by 10% in a day.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

NVIDIA's stock tanked a month ago, and it's already back up. Nothing really changes. There's no such thing as a "plunge" in the stock market, unless a business is truly going bankrupt.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago

It's referring to that after-hours part.

Reddit has said it is working to convince logged-out users to create accounts as logged-in users, which are more lucrative for its business.

By "convince," they mean:

  • Popup to automatically sign in with Google
  • A button right under where you close that popup that shows a QR code to install the app
  • Bottom bar on mobile telling you to make an account
  • Clicking an upvote or downvote button instantly sending you to the account signup page, even if clicked by accident
  • Full-screen popup only on mobile to download the app if you're accessing anything NSFW (includes posts that simply have too much vulgar language, and are considered "NSFW" in that community, as well as any account page for an account that has ever made an NSFW post)

Yes, very convincing, heavily coercive even!

I love when I'm troubleshooting something, click on a record link from like 2018, and get a modal encouraging me to "join this trending conversation!"

In other news, Lemmy stock mooned infinity% from 0.00 to 0.00 plus beans.

No, user numbers are not down because of a Google change. User numbers are down because they went ban crazy during the election and Luigi stuff.

If you ban people who produce your content, your site quality & engagement declines. It’s not rocket science.

Btw, they’re definitely reversing some of these bans to try to pull people back, and inflate the number of “returning” users. They permabanned two of my accounts for wrongthink during the election, and they’ve already reversed one with no prompting from me at all, after denying appeals months ago.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

they are still ban crazy since last week. i and many people had several accs sitewide banned

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, my alt account was re-banned after I posted this comment. I guess they unbanned a bunch before the earnings call to boost their numbers? Dunno.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

seems like they are on the verge of selling reddit off, since they have been banning since NOV, in large waves(3 according to some people). i was in a forum where the people that use of had 10-50+ all gone at once.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

I got an account strike the other day and a post removed "by Reddit" according to the message for saying something to the effect of "protests without a threat of violence behind it doesn't mean much to those in power these days" on a thread about some ongoing protests.

Something about a site rule violation for advocating for and/or calling for violence.

Jfc that thumbnail of Huffman's face triggered me. How did he manage to make his face look MORE punchable??

It's almost like communication platforms shouldn't have profitability as their main goal... maybe they could be... distributed... like some sort of... federation. Yeah. That's it. Then everyone would follow along like... lemmings or something

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Holy hell how much plastic did Huffman invest to look like a dollar general bond villain.

Why does his head look like that?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago

Because he’s a greedy little pig boy.

The stock’s valuation makes no sense at all. A market cap of 38 billion on no revenue and declining growth?

Get fucked, Spez.

“It primarily affects logged-out users in the U.S.,” he said. “This one was particularly interesting because there really was a swing down, but then a recovery shortly thereafter happened right at the end of the quarter.”

Show me the graph, spez. Pics or it didn't happen!
