They added functionality that allows you to hide your comment history, so now you have even less information regarding whether you are talking to a real human being or not. Before, they didn't even have to advertise. Now, they've enshittified themselves so much they desperately need new users.

“Come make friends on Reddit”
Lmao. Tell me Reddit inc doesn’t understand their product at all without telling me.
No one uses Reddit to make friends. (Yes, I know some jagweed will come with a story about their friends brothers girlfriends nephew that met their best friend on Reddit)
I have never noted anyone's username regularly on Reddit. Unless it's because they consistently had terrible comments, then they would stand out as either a troll or an idiot; honestly, it could go either way with many of them.
Lemmy is small enough that I see some of your names daily.
Y'all better stay off my lawn.
I used to have an iOS client for Reddit that would hide usernames. That was actually fantastic.
I don’t care who you are, just what you say.
where is satan's maggoty cumfart when we need him?
I make friends on aita all the time. The room is always full of people. They cheer me when I'm right, and ai'm always right.
They say I need help because I talk to myself all the time, and that I haven't cleaned the roon in ages, but they told me that i'mactuakly right, on reddit.
/but really, I rareky used a platform as antisocial as modern reddit. It used to have a place for information sharing. Now it's facebook. But it has a red snoo as a mascot and not a blue f. And yes the reddit alien mascot is called a snoo.
Death rattle
Reddit posting ads for more users is actually hilarious. They were soooo unconcerned with how many users they were going to lose when they made the 3rd party API changes. Like to the point where u/spez basically had a "let them eat cake" moment and just straight up said "were successful enough we dont care if we lose people".
Netflix made up their minds the same way before tanking their subscriptions.
Come meet the most vindictive, aggravated, compulsively argumentative people you've ever met. On Reddit!
Would that be true for Parisians?
Haha I don't know enough about Parisian culture to be comfortable taking such potshots!
Neither do I, but I am vindictive and someone in Paris was rude to me once!
the french tried to invade me once in victoria 3, that should be enough
Hey you there reading this, I already upvoted all the anti-Reddit comments in this post, you can go rest instead
🙏
I could use a nap, cheers friend
Maybe they shouldn't have permabanned thousands of active users like me, with a 12 year account and nearly 1 million Karma. People like me built Reddit, and as soon as HitlerPig was inaugurated, the DOGE Goblin demanded that Reddit purge its membership. Now they're stuck with bots, novelty accounts, punsters, Russian Propaganda Farmers, MAGA activists, etc.
Proud to be part of the resistance
I'm staying with my boyfriend because of his dog. Am I horrible?
Is there a Parisian who doesn't do rock climbing, Pilates, or ceramics?
I'm going to the Maldives but I'm composting, does that make up for it?
Just between you and me, who's ever bought fruit on the metro?
So, what do we do with the people on the wrong side of the escalator?
Has anyone ever found the exit at Chatelet, or is that a myth?
These were/are popular post from the r/France subreddit. I'm a bit out of touch with reddit some I don't recognize.
Looks like there's enough space to write "lemmy" in there
I’m just so thankful for Lemmy not having built in posts that are ads. I hate it so much on Reddit.
Rule of thumb: the more something is advertised, the more shit it is for one reason or another, and you'll do well to avoid it altogether. When I'm advising people on contractors, my number 1 rule is: if they're on TV, they're criminals, I promise you.
Reddit is the most new-user-unfriendly site I have ever been to. You've got to farm an unknown amount of karma before you can post or comment in subreddits. There's a reason I'm at Lemmy now. Fuck Reddit. (Also, 4chan is a toilet. The occasional nuggets of good stuff aren't worth trawling through pages of shitposts for.)
Not only in Paris. Saw some of them in Marseille too. At first I thought it was some kind of "anti-ad" joke, where someone was giving them a bad rep because of how stupid it looked.
Guess it was not a joke.
Wow, I've never seen them actually pull ads for membership. Site must be struggling for real users. Bot takeover isn't working out, shouldn't have banned the top users for petty bullshit.
The archive of past posts and problem solving is the greatest value of the site.
What the fuck, that looks absolutely desperate! I'm sure it will have the opposite effect. Fuck reddit.
