A mass user protest six months ago over technical tweaks had big downstream effects, and now the ‘front page of the internet’ is changed for ever

Haven’t been on there since the event, though I do read some threads if they come up in a search. Not intending on returning, though I haven’t gotten rid of my old account yet

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.

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

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

The bots were always there, the bot-to-human ratio is just much higher now

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.

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

This is a Reddit circle jerk article, so no.

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

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.
