lucky for me that completely banned me. everytime i tried to create a new account, they shadow banned me. So now its not as exciting as it was before and now after their latest changes, I dont even care anymore
I haven’t because unfortunately some content is still there and some communities haven’t left, but the rest of the time is Lemmy.
That and I don’t think I am capable of actually deleting it there is too much stuff there that although I have backed up I would feel bad that would dissapear by my own hand.
Private messaging after a post on a local subreddit is how I met my now wife, back in college. Would go back and look at our awkward exchanges from 10 years ago occasionally.
Glad I screenshotted them years ago, now that they’re off reddit. Figured that would happen eventually.
Very true, glad I didn’t have anything super essential in the chats, but still peeved as there were a couple of nice interactions I had that I would occasionally look back on.
They aren’t universally hated. No one likes them, sure, but as with a lot of things the silent majority is in the “doesn’t give a fuck” camp. This is the camp Reddit is relying on to keep using the website no matter what they do.
My guess is that spez and co are hoping they’ve hit a critical mass of FB level users (your mum, your boss, that wacky aunt, the bus driver, etc) that after they fucked everything and the exodus happens, there will be enough people around who dont care cos “lol cats funny”.
Only lurkers would be indifferent to losing all their messages. I guess they are likely more numerous but Reddit needs active users to keep functioning.
You would be surprised about what content reddit curates and keeps from getting amplified.
Do you guys remember when you’d be banned from Facebook for posting the NY Post article about Hunter’s laptop? Or the the NY Post Twitter account was banned?
It’s all to serve a narrative, all the time, forever.
How many times did you hear “He crossed state lines!” As if that was a crime, or something?

I bet this has to do with complying with court orders. Can’t turn over something you don’t have.

I just don’t understand what the top brass at Reddit are hoping to achieve with these changes.
I mean, they’re universally hated. What’s the goal here?
They aren’t universally hated. No one likes them, sure, but as with a lot of things the silent majority is in the “doesn’t give a fuck” camp. This is the camp Reddit is relying on to keep using the website no matter what they do.
Now as for why, beats me.
My guess is that spez and co are hoping they’ve hit a critical mass of FB level users (your mum, your boss, that wacky aunt, the bus driver, etc) that after they fucked everything and the exodus happens, there will be enough people around who dont care cos “lol cats funny”.

Hatred of the universal level is the tippy top as far as I know. Maybe it’s a personal bet or, even better, a dare? You can’t back down from a dare!
Ok they consisted 99% of scams
There’s nothing about it on the top two pages of Reddit so either people don’t care or let’s get out our tinfoil hats and make this make sense.
Tinfoil hat is ON. Spez and Loyalist are squashing any and all criticism that appears on r/All.
It’s the reason for everything happening on Reddit and Twitter.

It’s all fake bullshit
Hunter’s laptop is the fake bullshit.
