When I search for things at work, and reddit may have the top result, I stopped clicking them becasue they want me to log in.
When I search for things on my phone, and reddit is one of the top results, I stopped clicking it because now it won’t let me read it in browser, and forces me to use their app.
They got rid of old reddit.
Clearly they are trying to pad their logged-in user counts.
I’m done. I’m sorry to say that I’d rather have an AI-generated answer (that likely is citing the right answer on reddit anyway) than to give reddit the satisfaction of making me open their app or log in.
Fuck them.
Fuck spez.
RIP AaronSw.
They even banned /r/Lemmy. The nerve lol
They’re JUSTIFYING it with AI bots. Very different.
because of AI bots
Is it because they want it to be only a.i. bots, because that seems to be where it’s heading by making it more and more hostile to humans.
Reddit is also killing itself lately. I hope it goes down forever and good platforms like Discuit or Lemmy become the mainstream thing.
i stopped missing them when i found this place
Well, this is it. Time to make my online residence on Lemmy permanent.

Lol Reddit
I actually forgot about Reddit in the same way I forgot about Friendster… Which I want to point out is also still around and being used by real people, somehow.
I wish Lemmy was more popular. I still use Reddit for niche things; for example, I’m getting a new Pebble watch and I want to see posts about that. Here, the whole community has a small handful of posts. On Reddit there are new posts every day. Sigh!
I’m finding that Lemmy and the Fediverse in general isn’t good enough for normie stuff, like TV and movies. Frankly, i think videogames too now that i think about it. I’ve seen news about videogames, but never people talking about a videogame. Even anime and manga is very limited.
I don’t think that’s inherently a platform limitation though. Maybe an initial hurdle for people to join, but once you’re on here, you’re free to talk about whatever you want.
The real issue is that AI fucking scans everything you ever post, so most people don’t want to give out anything real anymore because - surprise - people like privacy.
That huge chunk of people who are aware of what’s going on in the world (weird conservative global takeover) and are tech literature is basically a circle, so you don’t get a ton of people on here divulging their hearts out.
Tldr basically, conservatives ruin everything.
tv and movies used to be a larger community, until the last big instance shut down. people decided to scatter to different platforms or instances, thus diluting how much topic we get on entertainment.
And the types of anime/manga you’re allowed to like on Lemmy is also very narrow.
A lot of the subreddits i used to frequent have virtually dead (less than one post a month on average) mirrors here, or none at all.
It’ll get there just in time to for the IPO
Lemmy won’t ever become bigger than what it currently is. I’ve been waiting for years but the reality is that Lemmy will forever be a niche platform for left wing politics that’s banned on Reddit and tech bros.
There’s right wing politics too. Don’t be weird bro.
On here? Where?
There are a few communities. One example: !conservative2@lemmy.today
Bruh, it’s dead. The last post was made over a year ago
Anyone with a bit of foresight could see this coming after the site became closed-source sometime around September 2017. The saddest thing is that the network effect is real, and most of the subreddits I’m interested on will not move to the Threadiverse any time soon.
Enshittification continues
Reddit is killing reddit
Definitely to stop their userbase using 3rd party apps and force them to use their godawful ad-hell
Oh look, reddit removing features and making the platform worse? Anyone remember when tech got better as time went on?
Reddit is insufferable. It’s impossible to get an interesting convo going and the vast majority of posts are slop. Even the subreddits for hobbyists are affected. I’ll save a sad memory for the glory days but it’s time to move on.
