Wha… do you get some kind of reddit currency if you make a post that breaks 1000 upvotes, with a multiplier based on your log in streak length?
Jesus Christ, these fucking dark pattern, microtransaction shit just needs to be universally banned.

Even on old reddit they have these annoying and constant “achievement” notifications now.

I’m so glad I left completely (minus the random search result with no other leads, but no browsing) when the API fuckery started, corporate social media sounds like an absolute hellscape now.

I’m almost there, I had to block the reply button with ublock origin. Quite the habitual addiction.

Why not just nuke the accounts and be done with it

They have a “basement dweller” achievement if you hit two years.

Yeah honestly a social media streak getting bigger is a sign I should probably take a day off.
Bezier@suppo.fi 11 months ago
Gamified social media with streaks and fomo notifications for daily scrolling or posting or whatever is hilariously bad and transparent.

The streak made me want to not log in days in a row because it highlighted how much time I had wasted on the site.

That’s it, we are taking away the awards system.
Jk, you can have it back.

Every? It was news to me that even reddit does this. I must have left them all too early.

For a second, I thought OP got banned from Duolingo.
lugal@sopuli.xyz 11 months ago
I mean back when duolingo has discussions or what they called it, you might write nasty stuff. But now, imagine being banned for the wrong translation.
I haven’t used duolingo for a few weeks because my hack to have infinite hearts broke again and I’m too lazy to put in the effort even tho it’s not that difficult actually

Try Busuu

I’m gonna be real, Duolingo is literally only good for motivation and easy vocab review. It has been years since I used it, but the best advice I got on that website was when forums still existed and people told me that the translations for JP were shit and to learn somewhere else, which is probs why those forums got deleted.
If you have to use hacks to not be bored/deal with the bullshit, then just leave man. It’s not worth the bird begging you to come back. Find stuff online, YT (unfortunately) is your friend for resources.

The thing is that I needed to learn a language but that duolingo motivated me to learn a language in the first place. It sadly never made me dig much deeper. Nothing else I’ve tried ever stuck. So for me it’s not duolingo or learn a language seriously but duolingo or candy crush (never actually played that game but you get the point)

I use Busuu for Fr*nch these days.

Yep, they want you to login everyday FOR MULTIPLE YEARS
msprout@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Well, I did that on my own to be honest. Not anymore, though, lol.

Same, I’m glad to be out of the cesspool.
