Reddit

this just in: company enshittifies product and doesn't give a fuck about you, only money. More at 10.

If you are still active on Reddit after all the enshitification, you are enshitified and getting furious is no longer an option.

Someone contact the mods of that subreddit and tell them to point to https://join-lemmy.org/ instead of lemmy.world

Thank fuck I said goodbye to that place. A shame to see such a fantastic online community be murdered by capitalists try to squeeze money out of it, but probably inevitable.

It works really well for me actually. Every time that mobile app begpost comes up it's a great reminder that I shouldn't even be looking at Reddit at all. Cut down my doomscrolling on my phone immediately.

Fuck you, spez.

I got permabanned this week for saying "Poor white people are being tricked into blaming black/brown/trans people for their problems instead of billionaires."

Apparently it was promoting hate based speech and attacks.

Reddit was kinda neat 15 years ago, it's a fucking cesspool now.

https://old.reddit.com/ is still working fine for me.

If Lemmy would pick up some more content about RVs and sailing I would leave there but meanwhile the old way still works.

This wouldn't bother me at all if reddit didn't appear at the top of almost every damn question I Google nowadays. Why are you pushing reddit for answers if you won't let me see them?

Users do anything but stop using reddit

Reached for comment, the company instead offered a puzzling explanation: that the site-breaking popup is for users’ own good.

Fuck you reddit, fuck /u/spez!

RIP reddit. We knew this day would come. At least Spez will have plenty of bot accounts to keep him company.

Well, old.reddit.com still works fine on Safari mobile anyway. Just tested it out of curiosity. Wonder how long until they try and lock that one down too?

"Personalized experience" AKA "even more ad revenue".

Reddit is not dying fast enough

I like how reddit allows moderators to just ban users with basically no appeal process.

What a great business plan. Allow randoms to decide who gets to keep being a customer

I'm not getting that pop-up but it's probably blocked by my browser. I'll still continue to use it in my browser while also using Lemmy. I hope more people are going to join the Fediverse due to this.

None of this would be a issue if the lazy fucks would migrate to other platforms like Lemmy etc, right now this app is very limited compared to all the various subreddits, people need to start making replicas of the popular and niche subreddits and make it easier for people to migrate

Why??? I will tell you my non expert opinion.

Reddit makes money by selling data to advertisement companies. Users that aren't logged in are probably hard to track. They probably have a bunch of untargeted data they can't sell for much.

Reddit does not actually care about the end users experience. They want you to use their site enough to provide them with sellable data. It's like Facebook. Facebook could show you your friends posts in chronological order everyday but instead they throw in all this spam on your feed to keep you on the app. They can see what you're interested in. If all you do is 'like' your friends baby pictures then that data would be hard to sell.

I don't know why they bitch....they're just going right back. weak

Reddit has enshittified multiple times at this point. It shocks me that people still use it.

The annoying thing about the app was that it copied Facebook and constantly spammed my feed with subreddits I was not subscribed to. I used an alternative app for a while and that worked ok. It is so annoying when Facebook and the like constantly force you to follow pages and groups you are not interested in.

Surprised there isn't a Firefox add-on that literally just loads the reddit site's HTML like the browser usually does and then moves all the shit around to a more mobile-friendly layout.

Wait, IS THERE such an add-on?

I read ghislaine maxwell is back as a moderator on world news ... and why the hell isn't america going after the youth obsessed model world full of predators? Hello its time for frickin regulations

This is every companies dark patterns.

Guess who doesn't intentially ruin user experience ? Foss .

Well, most of them... Can't be perfect.
