Last year, while opposing Reddit’s API changes, a large number of subreddits turned from public to private or turned NSFW (Not Safe for Work) to impact ads on the platform. To prevent this kind of change, Reddit is bringing new rules where moderators will have to submit a request when updating community-type public or private or maturity ratings of SFW (Safe for Work) or NSFW.
why anyone is still on reddit is beyond me. it’s so garbage at this point that it makes me angry any time I so much as see it referenced
Well let’s be honest to our self, most content in lemmy are from Reddit.
So in the end we in the repost loop, 4chan > reddit > lemmy/Instagram/tiktok > Facebook > reddit > 4chanThe answer is simple: Even a single popular subreddit has more users and content than all Lemmy instances combined.
That ‘mass migration’ a year ago made Lemmy viable as a social network, but barely affected Reddit at all in terms of numbers, and numbers are all they care about.
I’m still here on Lemmy, but to the Vast majority of Reddit users, nothing has changed (at least not enough to leave the place where all their communities are)
Reddit comments are still useful in search results when you’re looking for advice on a specialized topic, though often comments have been deleted in protest.
There are definitely a whole lot of people here who still frequent it or we would not keep seeing these posts. I’m with you: I don’t get it.
I wasn’t aware they could enshittify that op any harder, but… Here we are.
Incredible
Fuck Spez, but not proper fuck
