Still, not what we want
Just pathetic.
Baby steps. At least they’re sort of addressing one of the concerns, right?
Spez can still go fuck his own dickhole with a rusty tent spike, though.
Imo, we still shouldn’t go back if they rollback everything. Reddit is unreliable and Lemmy seems like a good alternative. I say we just try and get as many people over here instead. Not saying it’ll be easy or that’s anywhere near likely that it’ll be as big as Reddit but still.
The problem is that there isn’t an equivalent for any sub I use on Reddit.
Serious, like Politics?
Technical, like programming or SpaceX?
Pop culture, like MarvelStudios?
Games, like TheSilphRoad?
Pets, like goldenretrievers?
Found programmerhumor… But that’s it.
Keep checking this community search engine, all of these are on there.
I’ve found:
Politics (with alternatives)
Programming (with alternative) and SpaceX
Thank you. I suppose my problem was that the search for Jerboa is horrifically broken, I need to use the website of my instance and fire the search there.
Just as how Netlix tweeted “love is sharing a password” a couple years ago before fucking their subscribers with no lube, any confidence in reddit is gone. They professed different values than they demonstrate now.
They’re making insignificant carve outs FOR NOW to mitigate bad press and negative attention. Those will also go away in the name profit if Reddit survives this betrayal, maybe in a few months, maybe in a couple years, but the ground under which a sense of community formed is shattered irrevocably.
Why make content to profit a platform that openly disrespects and lies to its users, many many of whom provided free labor on the basis of that now erased sense of trust and respect?
And it will only get worse after the IPO, when activist investors insist on monetizing their shitty first party platforms even more.
