I'm pro Sped or whatever his name is. Reddit is a massive shithole, mostly because of its jannies but I'm sure the admins and owners are to blame as well. Regardless of who is at fault, I'm for large platforms going to complete shit if it means more people want alternatives.

I'm surprised there hasn't been a Fediverse style project for forums by now as Reddit is just a centralized project that takes a bunch of forums and puts them under one umbrella. More so, forums aren't dead as a concept, there are some rather popular ones and they're amazing for useful information (people like Palmer Lucky swear by them), but the biggest pain is making an account on each one, so if there was a way to make one account to use across forums like on the Fediverse it would probably take off.

Some carpetbaggers decided to move to Lemmy, which is based on Mastodon. This is an ideal choice, since (a) it was a failed social media platform for Twitter refugees, and (b) is full of pedos.
 
While originally I was happy Reddit seems to be crumbling... I'm now afraid of all these faggots breaking containment. I'm sure this will 100% make the internet a worst place as Reddit refugees look for new dwellings for their degeneracy.

I now believe in the sanctity of Reddit for the sake of us all.

Fortunately,
  • The farms are still TOR only, likely for long enough to avoid the reddit tide.
  • Redditors stand out like a sore thumb if they dare try to leave their site, you'll know when you see one and they'll be laughed out before settling.
  • They're incredibly unwilling to move over to a new site, the reddit alternate shilling that has been going on with privated subreddits usually fails or forms a miniscule splinter community that slowly dissolves back to reddit.
Redditors are bound to their corner of the net, and the only thing that could possibly change that and produce a keter level reddit swarm is the entire site shutting down.
They'll cite digg as proof that they can migrate to a new service, but the amount of digg users on reddit has diminished over the years and the Internet is no longer the same beast it was back in the days of digg.

Reddit has an avatar system + the dude spent $5k on it? lol no returns buddy, that's the first rule of those kinds of sites. You having access to what you "paid for" depends on you following that sites rules. Game companies, Amazon, any of that shit with a digital store front.

It's more autistic than you could ever imagine. They had an avatar system which had special reddit premium exclusive accessories and a couple of things you could buy with reddit coins. However they now have reddit avatar NFTs that you have to pay actual cash money for (they don't accept their own reddit casino money):


Amusingly some subreddits ban users with NFT avatars. You can resell them on any platform (it's linked to a "reddit vault" which is basically a digital wallet). There's a 5% royalty fee on resales.
Under the Ts and Cs:
As stated in the User Agreement and our Content Policy, you must follow and comply with the rules for our Services and the rules of the individual subreddits you participate in. Failure to do so may constitute a breach of the Previews Terms and result in a temporary or permanent ban from the Services or certain subreddits or the removal of your posts and comments, including those subreddits where you might have access to Features. In such instances, you might lose the benefits of Features, which may include Features that are Paid Services, subscriptions, Virtual Goods, Vault, or Verified Verified Virtual Goods, and we will not compensate you for this loss.

So if the jannies do get banned, any NFTs they have in their "vault" are lost forever. I doubt they read the terms and conditions.
Rather appropriately, the only "high value" avatar currently in stock in the reddit store is a lolcow

Idk what’s more terrifying - the fact that somebody would pay $99.99 for a Reddit avatar that isn’t unique, or the fact that 165 Redtards have paid collectively near $16,500 to be one of 250 people with this cow avatar 🤨

Like, does spez really think all this shit is gonna drive investors to buy their stock? This is shit that happens when a site is dying.

Spez should have just kept the site normal or reneged on the API pricing, for now. But like his name sake, he had to spaz out. Enjoying being king of a pile of ash Steve Huffman. Ask the digg guys how that turned out.

what he should have done is go back on the API changes and do what the jannies ask, and take notes on which jannies supported the protests.
then, over the nest 6 to 12 month, slowly and quietly remove all those jannies from their positions. flag their accounts as unsuitable for moderator positions, and replace them with spez loyalists.
when all relevant subs are run and controlled by spez loyalists, go back and roll out the API changes as planned.
 
Reading reddit makes me misanthropic. It's not the shitty moderation. It's not the halfass user interface. It's the hateful userbase. Fuck reddit, I only use it off searches.

If nothing else, it marks who could be future thread material for our corner of the interwebs.

I like it when you go to the smaller subs and see how literally everything has 0 or -1 points because various people or bots just downvote every single thing. What a healthy place to be!

I would argue they're largely like that because they have been curated to select for it. If it weren't for the powertripping jannies deleting all wrongthink then it might be somewhat tolerable. Anyone who doesn't drink the troonshine will find every comment they make gets deleted and will just stop taking part pretty quickly.

Every subreddit past a certain size inevitably attracts the tranny powermods and becomes a room-temp IQ echo chamber. I 100% blame them for what the site became and I am relishing the schadenfreude of the janny scum getting a reality check on who is really in charge of the site.
 
I'm laughing so hard over them being upset at being banned and not being able to get a satisfactory explanation out of the mods. Oh you mean like when you ban and mute people if they ask about it because you got a case of the butthurt from them thinking different things to you.

Also "we're going to sue for hurting muh feels"

If you leave a subreddit without and Skynet levels of censorship for more than a few minutes organic users actually start shitting on trannies, making edgy jokes, sharing forbidden statistics on sensitive topics and calling mods faggots and all those would get organically upvoted too. The subreddit for my country has like 50k members but its always the same small group of mods and soy faggots posting because of course they'll ban or downvote anyone else.

Allowing freedom of speech increases the ammount of real users posting and engaging with each other but advertisers and propagandist can't use the site anymore. imagine john oliver doing and AMA and the top comment be someone calling them a soyboy faggot lol
