Anon doesn't like reddit

4chan was hating on Reddit before it was cool

updoots encourages circlejerk

I mean, making a post about hating on Reddit, on Lemmy, is pretty circlejerky too at this point.

It's already dead. r/wholesomememes decided to allow only original content (no bots or reposts), and, after two days the only post was one begging human users to post anything original.

There are no users left. It's bots all the way through, like maggots in a rotting corpse.

It dies every time someone stops using it.

I'd argue discord is even worse.

Why is lemmy obsessed with talking about its ex

Whenever I stumble on reddit I make sure to post disinformation or some kind of dumb shit to throw a wrench into the LLM training data they sell to google.

"ruins the Internet"? This coming from 4chan? That's rich

Reddit doesn’t even like Reddit.

So many on Reddit bitch and moan about reddit. Just delete your account and use alternatives if you hate it so much.

Forgot

• APIcalypse
• sold user content to AI
• let's only Google index.

I miss the IMDB discussions under each film..

Was great to finish a film and have a question or and ideas and be able to talk about it.

Restricting search results to reddit is still a nice way to filter out corporate junk and just get honest end user opinion on things. As much as I hate the management of the platform now, you have to remember that Reddit didn't always used to be shit. Aaron Swartz was a co-founder.

I use it less and less. I only really visit two sub reddit, and one of them has been really declining as it has grown.

I've made an active effort to bookmark any active forums I come across. Even Lemmy doesn't quite fill the niche that actual forums provide, though it is still useful.

The hardcore forums survived.

Nobody likes reddit. Nobody. Everyone is just stuck with it and spez's dumbass moneygrubbing bullshit.

It's gonna die like Digg or Fark ... Which are still around, but shells of their former selves. TBH most normal folks haven't even heard of Reddit, let alone Lemmy or Mastodon.

Will the bots be what ends it?

bans controversial subreddits

They are ruining valuable conversation by banning GasTheKikes and Jailbait. My free speech!!! /s

My account has been banned for like 2 years but I can still watch porn so idc.

"Ruins the internet"

I happen to remember the forum culture of the mid-late 2000s. It wasn't that great.

It was dead to me over here until you posted about it. Want a reddit hate circle jerk updoot buddy?

They will also just casually full bore ban you because you were mass reported.

That's what someone I talked to theorized happened to me.

I was banned for posting "I think my right to punch Nazis should be protected by law".

Not kill, murder, maim, I didn't even name any groups where there was a lick of grey area, Nazis, the one group that since WWII, everyone has agreed are alright as a universal bad guy.

Not soon enough.

Look, I also left Reddit because it got worse, but this just reads like "I said something racist and people got mad" to me.

Honestly fuck Reddit. I hate the polarization of politics that’s somehow spills out into literally every single community that realistically should be devoid of politics. If I’m in a memes sub it shouldn’t be full of political memes, and when it isn’t a political memes everyone wants to argue about politics. On top of all of that Redditors are so far left leaning it hurts and if you say anything to even slightly disagree with them they will bash you, spam you with insults, and just be overall nuisances. Hell, today I was called a right wing maga cult fa**ot for asking someone for proof of claims they were making, I came back and posted a few links to articles proving they embellished the truth with their statements and told them that if you can’t provide proof of your statements they are likely lies and I received a ban. Actually in all honesty this is why I sought out Lemmy or really any Reddit alternative, I’m done with toxic af Redditors for sure.

Reddit is garbage because of the mods.

I enjoy using Reddit.
