And they also have to let people use a VPN. And make UI load faster, it’s way too bloated.
Comment on Reddit brings back its old award system — ‘we messed up’

Cool, now do the API and I’ll consider not actively avoiding your website.

I tried going back for a while, but when I couldn’t connect on VPN, I left again.

So they can train openai on your comments? No thanks. Its done for good IMO.
barsquid@lemmy.world 7 months ago
The AI companies will do that shit on Lemmy also. At least there isn’t a far-right Nazi getting money on our user generated content tho, unlike reddit.
Wooki@lemmy.world 7 months ago
The profiteering and shitting on the community is what got me to remove my content and account. As an owner of the platform, they cant have it both ways.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
They’re going to do that regardless.
I want an open API so I can use third party apps. I’m totally fine with them requiring an API token or something with a sensible rate limit to limit abuse by parties like openai (they’ll have to go through a sales contract).

Nah, too late. Now that I’ve finally migrated to the fediverse, I’m staying here.

Not even the API. Just a usable page that doesn’t feel so broken and bloated.
viking@infosec.pub 7 months ago
Did they switch off old.reddit.com in the end? That was the only useful front-end on desktop.
spookex@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Nope, that is still there, RES still works as well
viking@infosec.pub 7 months ago
Ok at least something. Not going back, but that was always the last potential nail in the coffin.
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 7 months ago
Sort of, you no longer can sign in or create an account without using the new site
zecg@lemmy.world 7 months ago
That ship has sailed, I thoroughly nuked an account that almost could have drunk in the us and I’d be fucked if I make another after the assholes restored my comments as by [deleted] or some shit and now they’re training fucking electronic snoids to parrot my wisdom and humor to obsolete me. It’s the principle I object to, I piss in this pot here knowing full well there’s runoff across the fediverse and I’d never be able to sponge back all the piss, but those assholes lie and steal.
barsquid@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I’m done for good, myself. Moved to Lemmy and there are far fewer dimwitted Nazis here.

I won’t. They’d have to fire Steve with no golden parachute, then maybe.
tsonfeir@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Just let things die is my opinion. It’s much nicer here.
jeffw@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Nicer in many ways but also less active. I find myself posting a shit ton more just to make the activity I want to see. I made probably less than 50 posts on Reddit in my 11ish years before I left. Now I make that many every 48 hours
dugmeup@lemmy.world 7 months ago
We appreciate your contributions :)
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
Same.
I’m not a huge fan of lemmy, but I do like it better than what Reddit has become. If I had to pick today’s lemmy or Reddit from 5-ish years ago, I’d go with Reddit every time. But that’s not the options in front of me, so I stick with lemmy.
cobysev@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I actually prefer Lemmy because it’s less active. I browse Lemmy’s version of r/All and I have more than enough content to keep me entertained for hours. Plus, when I find a popular thread, I can actually contribute to it and my comments aren’t buried under 10K other comments within a few hours. I feel like I can actually communicate with the community here, instead of shouting into the void like on Reddit.
tsonfeir@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Yeah, but I know your username. Because you’re the person posting all that stuff I read. So, thanks ;)

Thank you for being you :)
Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 months ago
Agreed, Lemmy feels like “the old net” in the most refreshing way possible. I haven’t touched Reddit in over half a year and I feel better off for it. Feels like I can actually be myself here instead of trying to walk on eggshells to be part of the hivemind.
spookex@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Opposite for me, this place is way more left-leaning and if I comment like I used to on Reddit, the comments easily end up in double-digit negatives
crossmr@kbin.social 7 months ago
The best part is the mods who don't remove posts where people celebrate someone being killed, or suggest someone be killed because they disagree with them. The unfiltered bigotry is really the second best part of the fediverse /s
MxM111@kbin.social 7 months ago
Just imagine if all Reddit moves here if it dies.

Lemmy 2
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
I don’t really care how much Steve gets out of it, I just want a not-terrible platform. So I’m cool with a golden parachute if that’s what it takes to get rid of him and get someone better for the platform.
That’s not happening though, so I’ll just avoid the platform.
MxM111@kbin.social 7 months ago
I don’t mind him having golden parachute- it is heavier and most likely won’t open.
