FreeBooteR69, in Reddit CEO Steve Huffman: Reddit “was never designed to support third-party apps”
@FreeBooteR69@kbin.social avatar

Deleted my account with the message "Your contempt for your users disgusts me". Oh well, account since 2012 permanently gone. Long live the Fediverse!

PabloDiscobar, in Reddit threatens replacing moderators from privated subreddits, citing vandalism and squatting.

That's not the attitude of someone who's confident that his flock will come back.

Let it go, overwrite your content and leave reddit.

PabloDiscobar, in Reddit communities with millions of followers plan to extend the blackout indefinitely
@PabloDiscobar@kbin.social avatar

The reddit admins have an excuse for booting out the last mods, for stability reasons, since the blackout caused a downtime.

The last redditors will be modded by robots and what they say will be analysed by other robots for money. How fun.

I remember Digg saying the same thing.

This just in from forbes.com:

"Investors are fed up. Fidelity, which led Reddit’s $700 million funding round in 2021 with a $10 billion valuation, has cut its Reddit company valuation by 41% since it invested. This could scupper Reddit’s plans to eventually go public with a reported valuation of $15 billion."

Who actually loses a game of chicken of this magnitude?!? u/spez, you listening?!?

OurTragicUniverse, in [CORRECTION] 7742 went dark out of the 8299 that committed. Interesting to note: 204 of the top 250 subreddits are dark (src: save3rdpartyapps.com).
@OurTragicUniverse@kbin.social avatar

8479/8838 subreddits are currently dark as of 15.09 BST (British summer time).

This is so heartwarming. Haha, fuck spez.

Thanks.

theghostie, in PSA, you can add subreddits as an RSS to view without supporting Reddit
@theghostie@kbin.social avatar

Is there an Android app that will display both the post and comments in-app? It seems like all the ones I've tried can display the images/posts, but will send you to reddit if you want to read the comments.

Ones I've tried:

  • Feeder
  • Feedly
  • Plenary
  • Flym

We're better than Reddit. Why try to duplicate something worse?

@Big_Boss_77@kbin.social avatar

Reddit still has users? I thought I was all chatbots?

Not a surprise Redditors hate losing coins.

abff08f4813c, in Working subreddit migrator?

Could probably modify @BotIt to get a lot of the current stuff for a subreddit.

If looking to migrate the complete history, it may make sense to combine the above with something that mines the pushshift torrents, to retrieve posts and comments that are no longer available on reddit's website or by searching.

The Snoo Platform gone mad with their own userbase...

Eggyhead, in Reddit kills awards and coins
@Eggyhead@kbin.social avatar

I never bought coins or whatever, but I had inherited a bunch somehow. I jumped on reddit just now to find an old thread I'd saved and found this in my inbox:

Hello from Reddit,
We’re reaching out because you have Reddit Premium and/or Reddit Coins on your account.
TL;DR: We're making updates to awards and coins on Reddit that we'll complete by September 12, 2023. As part of this, we made a decision to move away from Reddit coins and awards. This includes the 700 monthly coins* and Premium Awards, which are currently part of the Reddit Premium experience.
You'll still be able to use your Reddit Coins until September 12, after which they'll be removed from your account.
Note: all other current Premium perks will still continue to exist, including the ad-free experience.
As we looked at our current awarding system, there was consistent feedback from redditors that stood out – particularly around the clutter from awards and all the steps involved with awarding content. We also learned that redditors want awarded content to be more valuable. With that, we are reworking how great content and contributions are rewarded on Reddit. We will have more updates to share soon.
If you have further questions please check out our announcement post to read more about the update.

  • This perk is part of the paid Reddit Premium experience.

Thought it was kind of funny considering I never once cared about coins in the first place. Just checked and apparently I have "13325 coins to spend." I'm just going to let them go unless someone has a more maliciously compliant suggestion.

Award a bunch of posts and memes making fun of r/spez

Grimpen,

I can’t think of anything too maliciously compliant. Maybe give Reddit Gold to posts describing how to join Lemmy or something? Awards should boost visibility. It’s at least a little ironic to use Reddit 's own awards to help people escape.

Eggyhead,
@Eggyhead@kbin.social avatar

This is not a bad idea at all. I’ll do a search for “lemmy” and “kbin” at some point tomorrow and throw coins at any of the useful posts I find.
