My friend sent me this, the current state of Reddit. (I left during the app issue and haven't looked back)

Used to browse Reddit daily. Once Reddit is Fun closed, I only go on to search for an answer.

Now it is Lemmy daily.

[–] [email protected] 53 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (6 children)

Yep, same. Multiple times daily, created posts, commented a lot.

Deleted all my accounts.

The way Spez and the admins treated Apollo's dev was more than enough for me to leave Reddit, and that's before the shit he said about the vulnerable users of his site (essentially seeing them as dollar signs - I know CEOs are scummy but holy fuck).

Open Lemmy, nothing new, close Lemmy. Open Lemmy again to check if something new. Nothing new.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Live life, check back in six hours, all new.

Everything top six hours is the best.

... and I am starting to see user agent and VPN blocks now just within the last few days... It's officially over, so glad to be here. Been in the fediverse since the API shutdown. Bouncing between instances. First post on this one! Absolutely no regrets.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 10 months ago (5 children)

Yeah I read they tried to play that off as an accident. You don't "accidentally" block VPN users. That just doesn't accidentally happen. They're obviously attempting to do it, just waiting to deploy it. The anonymous social network sure does seem like they want you to not be anonymous.

I am constantly amazed that anyone is still using that corporate dumpster fire of a website

[–] [email protected] 65 points 10 months ago (10 children)

"See you next week," one user smugly commented to me on my way out.

I haven't been back, and I haven't missed it.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

The overwhelming smugness was the very thing that finally got me to leave lol

God... I can barely remember the time before the top comment threads of every goddamned post were always lazy strings of circle-jerky jokes that you could predict before even clicking into the thread.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I could barely remember too, then I took an arrow to the knee!

I can't even open reddit on a phone nowadays, cause my preferred sub have 18+ posts and reddit don't let you access that if you not logged in. Also, there a notification, that I need to use shitty official mobile app. Also, there notification to login via google. Also, there a notification... Nope, I not using this shit ever again.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Firefox mobile now has a full suite of extensions, including old reddit redirect to bypass all that bs. It's the only way I access reddit anymore for answers/the last few niche communities that haven't been built up on lemmy yet.

For the occasional time where I’m troubleshooting something and Reddit has the only solution on an “unmoderated sub” or one with 18+ posts, I just change the “www” in the URL to “old”, and get the old, non mobile friendly UI. It lets you bypass the other app popups, etc. Sometimes when you go into a post you’re back in the new UI, and might get another pop up, but backing out or changing the url to “old” usually solves it in my experience.

Lmao they removed their somewhat unique award system with charm and replaced it with colored arrows

[–] [email protected] 38 points 10 months ago (2 children)

On another topic, what kind of complete nonsense is that comment section?

It reads like if my phone's autocomplete decided to go haywire one day and start spitting out random associated phrases: "Pablo Escobar... Colombian Drug Lord... District of Columbia...hungry hungry hippo..."

I don't even know which is worse, that these are all bots, or there are actually multiple people who thinks posting these in public is a good idea.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (7 children)

Pablo Escobar lived in Columbia and owned hippos.

Just because you don't get a joke doesn't mean it was written by a bot, you goon.

edit - I just realized that I called esteemed character performer Margot Robbie a goon. Many apologies. I respect your dedication to the craft.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 10 months ago (6 children)

I get all the references, but making a chain of references without any jokes isn't exactly funny.

Meta comedy is overused to the degree that it is difficult to do it well.

Audacity aside, wtf is the difference between the $1.99 and 3.99 gold???

Fifty bucks? Are the bits made of gold?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's only there to make the other ones look cheap.

Each of those arrows is uglier than the last

[–] [email protected] 26 points 10 months ago (6 children)

Are reddit paying contributors, moderators or people creating posts¿? If no then how are they claiming that buying a golden upvote supports contributors

Hopefully the fact that they felt the need to do this means they're doing badly financially (and hopefully this doesn't help with that)

[–] [email protected] 25 points 10 months ago

Very MTX-heavy mobile game aesthetic.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

These arrows look like they were AI generated. "Make the arrow look more golden"

LMAO, imagine paying someone for content and then having a Reddit bot (or human) to copy it here for Lemmy.

Is this the new NFT lol?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 10 months ago

This has gotta be the stupidest (and honestly ugliest) alternative to Reddit awards.

Thanks for the crudely gold-colored-brass up vote, kind stranger.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 10 months ago

This entire screenshot looks horrible.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Giving Gold supports the contributors you love

Is... is this implying the person who got gilded gets a cut? Huh?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Yes

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Interesting how they never say how much real money gold and upvotes are worth to these contributors
