I've been in a few for various reasons. There's one where they choose a few redditors at random and you get 7 days to talk amongst yourselves, after that you are banned from the sub forever. That was amusing. Kinda gutting when you get the ban notification.
If you met someone who you really enjoyed talking to, what would stop you from staying connected to that person after the 7 days were over? You would know their username, right?
You absolutely could, but that feels weird after you've kinda just met. It's not like having a one to one chat with people, I think there was like 15 or 20 people?
Nope, the biggest sub to my knowledge that tried to move bringing a sizable audience is r/piracy.
Most other subs have kind of mentioned lemmy or kbin exist, but haven’t established communities over here. (IAMA didn’t promote anything at all sincethey didn’t even take part on the protests)
I’m petty sure (and hope) that Reddit will slowly die. If a s% of the users creating content that are not bots move to Lemmy of kbin, it’s game over for them eventually.
The only thing that’s quite sad is the amount of information you can find for an insane amount of problems. I hope that everything will get archived somehow.
It's been archived, but I can't find an easy way to browse it. So far I've just been using the web archives plugin and finding a archived version of a page
Some subreddits require a certain level of karma to be able to post or reply to comments. I don't know if that was to help against bots or people who would make an account to avoid a ban or something. Other than that karma was just an ego boost for those who cared about such things.
Yes, it was great protection against spam accounts, b/c on day 1 they would start with nothing, and have to actively earn karma before they could switch to selling t-shirts or promote OF sites or whatever. Every little bit helps in the efforts to combat simply spinning up a thousand of those and be able to instantly spam whatever sub(s) you wanted.
Karma (especially comment karma) is useful to indicate someone makes positive contributions, but once you’re above a few hundred it doesn’t really make a difference. I do wonder if it makes Reddit worse though, because it incentivises low effort comments and content to get easy karma.
The Navy also had a recording of Taps on YouTube, but what with the ad-blocker changes happening at YouTube right now, figured that the Navy site would be a preferable source.
I just did about an hour ago. App updated with the new farewell message and the Sync for Lemmy sign-up, which I filled out, and then uninstalled. And then I uninstalled the official Reddit app, too. And Baconator, which I forgot I still even had.
I can't browse Reddit on my Xbox anymore! What a shame.
@christianselig Thank you for an amazing answer to the Reddit app from a former AlienBlue user. It was difficult to lose AlienBlue and the sting is familiar with Apollo. I used your app near exclusively on an iPad and adored it, so I can’t imagine what you must have had cooked up behind the scenes. I’m excited to follow your next chapter from my new home on kbin. :)
I don't know why, but I'm still in shock it actually happened. RIF is the only way I've ever used Reddit. Spez is burning down one of the best and most informative communities just to up his future net worth a few percentage points. It's disgusting.
What really confounds me is how he can confuse creating infrastructure for creativity and information sharing with having any actual value? Lol. The dude is a fucking nitwit. Full stop.
