Yeah, it’s almost as if it’s people who were the problem all along 😀
“Everyone here is so much nicer than on <insert massively popular mainstream platform here>”
Haha, it only hurt because it was true. Hopefully it’s performing much better now.
Huh, we’re a meme already. All publicity is good publicity I guess.
Have a look at Liftoff app. It has the option to hide NSFW content behind a click-through warning.
5·1 year agoTildes is nice, just a bit quieter and fewer beans.
1·1 year agoMy god, what a weird experience that was.
I’ve been using old.reddit over the last couple of days to manage my bot as it shreds my old account histories, so to look at that interface without feeling sad is very unnerving.
Haha, Liftoff! to the rescue. Full usernames FTW
And to think we were all here for this glorious day. What a story to tell our children.
Yeah, this seems very unlikely to go anywhere other than in gaining media attention (which is a fair aim to have at this point).
It wants to keep control of how people get access to its data. The recent massive surge of interest in A.I.s means that there’s a lot of people looking for good quality datasets to train new models. Reddit is sitting on a goldmine, and it currently handing out gold nuggets for free.
It wants to charge these desperate users of its data through the nose for that access, and $12,000 per 50M API calls is the market rate it has determined (and it is clearly comfortable that existing commercial users of its data such as marketers will also pay those rates).
The fact that this will kill third party clients is just the icing on the cake. If reddit wanted to kill such clients it would just turn off voting and comments in the API.
Only till the trolls arrive and have competitions to try to see how badly they can get downvoted without getting banned.
Well, here we all are now, all the lads.
Oof, that’s an aspect I hadn’t even thought of. It may well be a total bin fire.
I wonder if the Reddit board really appreciate how hard it is going to be to find large numbers of new mods. Being thick-skinned enough to cope with being hated by so many people for so many contradictory reasons while also being flexible and responsive and ready to plough through piles of work for free isn’t a combination of qualities many people have…
If you think about it further, everything is fire.
