Why is this subreddit now just askreddit for movies?

Some time in the last few months, r/movies has been entirely consumed by askreddit-style questions like "What's your favorite hidden gem??" or "What actor fell off the map??"

[...]

What is now causing all these unique, seemingly-non-bot posters to suddenly start flooding this particular subreddit with their discussion posts, instead of going to askreddit? Did the whole reddit protest shit change the moderation rules? Has the subreddit been infiltrated by a secret Buzzfeed content farming cabal? I unsubscribed from r/askreddit because I got sick of this shit, but now it's back on r/movies!

What is going on??

I think the comments are most interesting though

Because the audience for reddit has dwindled since July. Reddits offial site and app push controversial posts over just well yovkted ones. Most controversial posts asks inane questions. Then there's bots reposting those questions for karma and then websites juicing social media for content to get crammed down your throat via SEO.

They should make a second internet just for people

This all started with the boycott.

[...]

I’d assumed things would go back to “normal” after the boycott, but it looks like a lot of power users really did take their ball and go home. (I wonder what they’re doing with their time instead? Hopefully some new hobbies? Time with friends?) Maybe reddit will regret removing the 3rd party apps, after all? Maybe we’ll just accept a future where niche subs become little more than BuzzFeed polls, but we get paid if our poll does well, so users won’t care?

It's because Reddit is trying to drive engagement. I don't know if you noticed, but since the purge of third-party apps, the comment sections have been kind of meager, and things don't get as many upvotes as they used to. Heck, half the comments act like bots anyway. It seems like reddit has been distilled down to those most addicted to it and has taken a hard lean into all the most extreme views.

When Reddit killed third party apps, the quality fell off all over the place. It took me about a month to realize the timing and why r/all had so much AITA rage bait stories and celebrity gossip and stuff now. I think a lot of the quality posters and people who liked more high brow discussions just left Reddit.

I haven't tried this, but maybe someone will find it useful and test it out. You could probably also easily do it in the database instead of using the API call.

This is a compilation of the paintings in "The 7th guest" and "The 11th hour". Can you help me to find more ?

Thanks to darkshoxx, die4ever2005, quickbrownfox42 and genebertram3833 for their help ! They found some of these paintings !

or maybe some other terminology would be better? lots of people get confused when you ask them to choose an instance, sometimes I think even the word "proxy", "host", or "hub" is simpler

the specific terms aren't my point, just a discussion to see if we can come up with a better name

"New Comments: Bumps posts to the top when they are created or receive a new reply, analogous to the sorting of traditional forums"

I feel like this is underutilized and can be really good for keeping old discussions alive and reused. It brings us back to the old school forums ways. On Reddit you see the same questions being asked over and over again every month or so (especially like on r/movies), if they had the New Comments sorting method then they wouldn't have to do that. And if you could subscribe to a post to get notifications about new comments that would be even better.

Now I'm also thinking Lemmy could have a Mixed sorting option to combine some of the main sorting methods, so you could see posts from Active, Hot, Top 6 hours, and New Comments all mixed together.

Quake Speedruns Explained is a seriously underrated youtube channel

Here is a version with just Game Audio if you prefer that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MWTjBjBLlE

Or a version with just Game and Mic, so no alerts or any of that other stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DevDxFIDI5E

I can’t believe I have finally achieved something I once thought completely impossible, even more so I can’t believe I was the first one to do it. What an amazing journey I’ve had in Super Metroid. Thank you to everyone who has come on the ride with me and supported me through all of this. I was and am still in complete disbelief about the 41 IGT. How crazy and wonderful!

Should be compatible with Build Engine Randomizer since we just modify map files, but I don't have a VR headset (yet) to test with.

Also supports Blood, Shadow Warrior, and Powerslave
