    Lol I don’t even pay for Movies / TV

    It’s not even primarily about “I don’t wanna support big corp” (although, that is one of the reasons), its just the fact that I’d be broke af if I had to pay for all that entertainment.

    I mean like… pay??? In this economy??? I don’t even get paid enough to survive

    Chexk out this community btw: !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com (blocked by lemmy.world instance)

    It will be the same types that buy a blue check for Twitter, like it’s a badge of honor to pay for free services.

      One of the funniest consequences of the checkmark is people claiming “I didn’t pay for it, Musk gave this to me!!”

  I’m glad I jumped ship back during the ban on 3rd party apps. That was it for me.

  source

  • IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Tbh, I didn’t care about the 3rd party apps.

    I just didn’t like the silencing of opposition.

    If they are willing to do mass censorship for benign things like a 3rd party apps protest, what’s to say they wont booklick governments/corportions and censor info of horrible things that a government/corporation is doing.

    It’s the censorship that I was more afraid of. Besides, I always wanted a decentalized platform, but none of it had any users until June 12, 2023.

      That’s the truth. It was tone deafness, a lack of responsiveness, and a clear lack of principles that made me leave during that.

    Yep. When RIF was killed, I closed that door immediately (was not easy). It was to be expected though, I think. Once a site reaches critical mass, money interests enter the picture and greed can always screw up a good thing. It’s a shame.

    I don’t even use any apps and was just planning on boycotting it for a few days in solidarity. Then Greedy Little Pigboy made his statement about how everyone will come crawling back and that was that.

    • JustARegularNerd@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      This is the actual reason for me too. I’m making a point to never visit that website again.

      There’s exceptions like when searching for troubleshooting help and a relevant result happens to be on Reddit, but otherwise I avoid it as much as possible.

    Same. I had even paid for the paid tier of my 3rd party app because it was such a good value to me that I wanted the devs to have some of my money. Thanks to that app, I was on the site more and pretty much never via computer anymore.

    I think it was for the best though. Quality over quantity here. I find it to be far less toxic on Lemmy overall. It’s like how people tend to be nicer in a small town because you know you’re gonna run into these people over and over again, but the big city you came from had more variety in stuff to check out. Definitely a trade-off, but I think it’s worth it to have this much more pleasant space that isn’t so packed with content as to be addictive. Good vibes.

      I’ve gone back to reddit a few times from searches, and after spending time away it is really apparent how negative most of the comments over there are.

      For example, anytime someone asks for help, someone always has to show up and get angry that they didn’t search instead of asking. Then a third person shows up and says that a search brought them to this thread… and no one ever answers the question. Thanks reddit!

      Its improving over time, I think it’ll find a decent grove as more communities pop up. I find the comment sections really engaging too I’ve had some solid conversations over here.

  Hopefully this will drive even more users to switch over. I find myself finding Reddit less useful as time passes by

    Theyll prob ban hella ppl for commenting/posting about these changes forcing them to come here lol

  • shyguyblue@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Whenever i search for a problem now, most of the posts that contain actual answers are more than a year old, and increasingly out dated.

    Fortunately, Lemmy is tech savvy and small enough that I can ask questions without worrying about the down vote brigade.

    source

    • Dindonmasker@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Yea and sometimes these older posts are filled with answers that just say “this user deleted all their data using “whatever service””.

      source
    • ShepherdPie@midwest.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Same I hardly ever find useful answers on reddit anymore. Most useful links have been from the native forums of the very product I’m trying to find answers for.

  • Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Bad news is that we’re still not setup for Reddit-level user counts. Lemmy needs much better moderation tools to allow communities to stay on top of reports.

    Hopefully a lot of new users will also produce new people contributing to Lemmy. Or, maybe some people will form some sort of nonprofit that allows dedicated designers and engineers to continually work on Lemmy. When people contribute as a side gig, most give up after a few months. Most of the Lemmy clients that were build during the Reddit APIocalypse are no longer alive.

      We have plenty of clients tho, arctic, mlem, voyager, my favorite thunder, are all available on ios and there are more, they all get updates

  I’m surprised they aren’t talking about subscriber subreddits. With the amount of porn/OnlyFans posts, I would have thought they could position Reddit as a friendly and familiar OF alternative.

  source

  • OfficerBribe@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    That probably is the idea, to have a competitor to Patreon and OnlyFans. They should have probably mentioned that as an example before some people start thinking /r/worldnews becomes paywalled.

    • sbv@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Seems like a pretty huge opportunity for Reddit. If the article mentioned it, I missed it.

    I wonder what the legality is of that when people are posting content from these porn sites and reddit is charging users to access it. How is this any different than paid piracy streaming sites?

    source
  • PineRune@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Probably because OF gets a lot of their business through promoting on Reddit.

    • Sakychu@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      So why not cut out OF and keep the users?
