EDIT: GO DM MODS OF YOUR FAVORITE SUBREDDITS AND POLITELY ASK ABOUT MIGRATION!: something as simple as "Hey, I love this community but I no longer use reddit, will you guys be making a community on Kbin or other alternatives? Let me know please, thanks." will work!! We need more voices encouraging migration!

PART 1

PART 2

ModCodeofConduct switching subs to SFW

POST ABOUT MODS FORCIBLY SWITCHING SUBS BACK TO SFW (teddit)

"What the users want" my ass. Reddit doesn't give 2 shits about what the users want.

If you guys wanna do more and get back at reddit, consider using a program that has gathered hundreds of their advertiser emails an emailing them to try and stop them from advertising, there is a email guide inside as well! USE BCC, NOT TO OR IT WILL SHOW ALL THE COMPANIES EVERYONE YOU EMAILED.

edit:

r/interestingasfuck removed as well

r/ThanksIHateit mod team removed

r/self mod team removed

edit 2:
from r/mildlyinteresting. restoration after they saw the backlash or mod team replacement? we dont know quite yet

r/mildlyinteresting update

edit 3: Reddit removed moderators behind the latest protests before restoring a few of them - restored by a different admin than the one that removed them...

Tbh everyone just needs to leave reddit

Let the bots take over

It's always been Stormfront 2.0 anyway

Fuck reddit

[–] minnieo@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yes, at this point, there is really no fucking saving it or hoping for changes, they will go as far as they need to go to get their profits back up. It must be abandoned. The only time I ever spend on reddit is to convince people to migrate to kbin or lemmy (nicely, dont be annoying)

[–] Dreckard@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

What really worked for me was the https://sub.rehab website. When I found that, it made me realize I need to stick with the people who actually built the subs I love -- the mods. Here I am.

I find that a large majority of redditors are still somehow completely clueless about what's happening.

So I made this little formatted summary of events inviting confused redditors to lemmy/kbin if anyone wants to copy/paste; seems to get people to understand.

@OtakuAltair At this point I don't care about redittors or reddit. It can go on to be wildly successful, doesn't matter to me, I've moved on.

Username checks out?

I'm eager to see how reddit becomes a steaming turd after June 30th, that imbecile is gonna end up with nothing of value in his hands. Let's see where that profit comes from then

Ironically this API issue will kill bots, which was needed.

[–] Yewb@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It will only slow them temporarily you don't need api for bots

[–] Kichae@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, it'll only kill the useful ones in the long run.

[–] CoderKat@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah. The unethical bots will just use scrapers, as they already do for the many websites that don't offer APIs. They're already violating ToS, so they don't care. Ethical ones won't have that option (at least not past the fairly low quota).

[–] troybot@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Correct. Now the bots will be constantly scraping the pages of every post which will be a much bigger burden on their servers.

[–] nonexcludable@feddit.uk 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Jesus, this is escalating fast. I never actually thought admins would go to such crazy lengths. Such pathetic desperation!

[–] The_Empty_Tuple@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I fully expected Reddit to fight dirty, but it's still surreal watching the iron hand come down against the community. Silver lining, I hope this helps accelerate the migration to the fediverse.

[–] nonexcludable@feddit.uk 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I remember ten years ago sharing beers with admins who visited London. Back when there was a push for developing local communities and Global Reddit Meetup Day. There was good vibes and a feeling of mutual respect.

I met my wife through Reddit.

I still have so much affection for the site in my heart.

It's just wild to me how much has changed.

Really glad I never got that Snoo tattoo now.

Reddit isn't the first online community I watched outgrow itself into the grave. I guess it's just the cycle of social media. Here's hoping this time's different.
