I have to say, this war on Old Reddit is doing wonders to curb my Reddit use.
Reddit is gone move on
More like deaddit amiright?
Man I know I’m the minority here, but once I see a paywall, age verification, or logon block, I just move on with my life. It’s not that important… Or there are other sources.
The day they blocked my old.reddit is the day I came over here. It honestly was easier than I thought, there are only a handful of communities I really miss, and those were all getting filled with AI bots anyways. It’s emptier here, but at least I’m talking to actual people.
I don’t think you’re in the minority here
i don’t buy this “continues to fight AI scraping” bullshit for a second. they literally ceased API access for regular users after they sold the rights to google to specifically scrape their site with AI.
Fight AI scraping by anyone who hasn’t paid them for the privilege.
My friendship ended with Reddit. Now Lemmy is my friend. 🫂
Until a comment you makes pisses off a power tripping mod and then you are permabanned from like 16 communities.
Shits infected here too.
Luckily, Lemmy is a place, where you can communicate with the actual human beings.
Fuck Reddit.
Fuck Spez.
Nothing to see here folks, just reddit continuing to dig its own grave.
Digg its own grave? (sorry)
😂
Why are we still caring what Reddit does?
Reddit is fantastic for certain niche communities. On the whole, it fucking sucks, but it does contain so much helpful info because it just brings people together over a specific topic.
There is literally nowhere else I can go for live game threads for sports as good as reddit.
not that it’s much of an improvement but there is Discord.
It’s not an improvement at all, Discord is actively terrible for any community bigger than about two dozen people and I hate that it has taken the place of traditional forums.
Because realistically I can only scroll on Fedi for maybe 20-30 minutes in a day before I’ve seen everything and if I have more time to kill, Reddit is there. Although I don’t comment there at all anymore, it’s truly worthless for conversation.
Why not try Duolingo or something? Or a crossword? The NYT app lets you play some games for free.
And the alternative to Lemmy is what? Viewing the same content of fifteen years reposted by a bot every once in a while, and having your discussion subverted by bad faith actors and bots?
I definitely don’t feel like using Reddit much anymore. Most of my time is spent in a particular programming subreddit to answer such fruitful questions as ‘what is a function’ next to master thesis-worthy posts, which is entertaining I guess.
Reddit said a long time ago there were no plans to change availability of the HTML version of the website, and I suppose now there are plans driven by unscrupulous shareholder interests.
The lion’s share of people are still on that platform, and those should be slowly nudged away from that burning garbage heap. It would be both tragic and hilarious at the same time if the mention of Lemmy caused the platform to ban you instantly.
