“Technical tweaks”? Did the author write this while sucking huffman’s taint?

In response to such critiques, Reddit spokesperson Rathschmidt said he did not “know of an industry benchmark for scoring content quality”.

(Emphasis mine)

This is the same tone deaf response I’ve come to expect from Reddit for some time now, and is why I’m happy to no longer be a user of their platform.

The only thing that’s changed is all the good modetators have left and the default subs have gotten worse.

God forbid you say anything mildly positive of Palestine on the main politics site. The AIPAC hired mods immediately permaban you.

I am of the belief that reddit just replaced leaving users with LLM drone users to fill the void.

reposting the worst quote i heard all year - or perhaps all my life

“There’s a lot of stuff on the site that you’d only ever say in therapy, or AA, or never at all … But we don’t need to give all of that value to some of the largest companies in the world for free.”

fuck spez, fuck reddit

Honestly, Fuck Steve Huffman.

I’m excited to see where Lemmy, Mastodon and the Fediverse go as I believe that’s what Aaron Swartz wanted Reddit to be when it merged with Infogami; a user curated platform about anything, and a great source of knowledge.

dugg their grave

So many comments/posts look like bots.

Reddit always had a “repost” problem. But this time, not only am I feeling like I already saw this post, but also all the top comments? Just regurgitation of posts from years ago.

Whatever. Don’t care. I left my account open but scrubbed twelve years of content, including hundreds (probably thousands) of answers to technical questions and dozens of posts (including guides) to which my reddit post was the only or one of the only search results.

If corporations want to profit from my knowledge, they can do so by exploiting the open source community, just like always.

Down with Reddit!

Slowpoke image: did you guys hear about reddit

Can someone message the editor and share how because of this backlash, many moved to other platforms - like lemmy?

Removed by mod

What crap. I was on Reddit for 12 years, and left with the migration, to land in the fediverse. Not going back. We are building a much better place. Onward!
