I would have thought that most people who didn’t want to use Reddit anymore have probably already stopped using it.

But yes I hope to see more bad news for Reddit such as this diminished valuation.

The story seems to be from a marketing-focused website, so it makes sense that the author is addressing advertisers, and how the events with Reddit will affect them.

Also, surely this story proves that the protests absolutely have had an effect. It’s causing advertisers to think twice about spending money with Reddit. And as stated in this TechCrunch article, fewer advertisers are visiting the ad-buying part of Reddit’s site.

So, the people who complained that these protests are pointless, that they won’t change anything, have been proven wrong. The protests are effective. So if people want change in this situation then they should continue with MORE protests. My protest is that I’m not using Reddit.

I wipe sitting. I think most people probably do. Standing up will push your arse cheeks together, so the poo inside the crack will just smear everywhere.

As for bidets, I don’t use them. They’re very rare in my country. I just wipe with toilet paper. I try to get my arse as clean as possible with the toilet paper, so I wipe multiple times.

Thank you for reading my post about my pooing habits.

I wonder if Britain will rejoin the EU. Perhaps it might happen. But I guess it will take a few years before politicians are willing to consider that.

No user of Reddit is powerless. Every single user of Reddit has the power to fuck with Reddit in whatever legal way they want, and they also they have the power to quit using Reddit.

Maybe they plan to park cars there.

Or maybe they just don’t like cutting the grass. Can’t blame them. I hate having to cut the grass all the time.

He’ll be remembered for breaking rules yes, but he won’t be remembered “as an innovator”.

Maybe they had early warning signs that something was wrong with the sub. Maybe it imploded later. Dunno.

It’s meant to be a decentralised version of Twitter. I think it was originally made by Twitter but is now a separate company.

But I don’t think it uses the ActivityPub protocol that Lemmy, Kbin, and Mastodon use, so it won’t be interoperable with them. Also, it’s invite-only for the moment. So if you want a decentralised Twitter-like experience right now, you could use Mastodon.

People are greedy for money and power. Like the Reddit CEO.

I bet this will be very expensive though. It will probably be years before it costs the same, or less than, regular meat.

Meta is a capitalist social media company and they seem to be doing okay. Facebook might be uncool with the kids these days but it’s still massive. And Instagram and WhatsApp are still very popular.

I think the difference between Meta and Reddit is that I bet Meta would issue some sort of apology and carefully crafted PR if they found themselves in Reddit’s current situation. But Reddit doesn’t even seem to care about angering its users, which just feeds the anger more.

Here’s a link to the same post on Teddit, an alternative front-end to Reddit, to read the same post:

Viewing it this way means you’re not giving Reddit traffic.

The US government hasn’t shut down the KKK though. Unless I’m wrong, I don’t think it’s possible to shut down political groups in the US, due to the first amendment.

So I think that would be a big difference between the US and Russia. Russia bans organisations it considers “extremist”, but I don’t think the US does.

Also, Russia is arresting people for expressing opposition to the invasion of Ukraine, even in private conversations. I don’t think the US arrested people who expressed opposition to the Iraq War - a war which Russia-supporters seem to love comparing the invasion of Ukraine to.

Is there actually a particular rule against turning SFW subs into NSFW subs?

Or is Reddit just desperately trying to interpret their rules in whatever way they desire because they’re panicking at losing revenue?

It’s just manipulation of course. They’re trying to guilt-trip mods into doing what Reddit wants. Reddit’s concern here is obviously not for the poor innocent users being deprived their access to these subreddits. Reddit’s concern is maximising the amount of cash that flows into their pockets.

If Reddit actually cared about the users then they would respect the subreddits where users have voted to keep the subreddit private or change the subreddit to NSFW content. But Reddit is not respecting these votes from users, because they only care about the cash flowing into their pockets.

I looked at Lemmy.world then Kbin.

I went with Kbin because Lemmy keeps pulling new threads onto the top of the home page feed. This pushes down content on the home page as you’re trying to read it. And I just don’t want it to be constantly pulling in new data, especially if I’m doing other stuff and my browser is just in the background.

Reddit’s response to everything over the last week or however long it has been:

“Fuck you, we don’t care about you, we want to line our pockets, we literally think of users as dirt, we expect you to bow down and kiss our shoes”

There are multiple instances of Kbin, you can see them at the bottom of this page.

The second most popular one at the moment seems to be https://fedia.io/, but yes https://kbin.social/ seems to be the most popular.

The chart here shows 37,000 active users for Lemmy, and this chart here shows 45,000 active users for Kbin.

And if the recent trend continues then those numbers should grow.
