It looks like it was an interesting AMA. Good answers, though no particularly hard questions.

I hope there’s more to this because that sounds illegal under the GDPR

They value your privacy.

That’s why they’ll sell it to the highest bidder. And the second-highest bidder. And anyone else that wants it.

Awww…shit. Here we go again.

I love the fact that both my ublock origin & pihole detect and block absolutely no trackers when I’m on kbin (I’m sure the lemmy users are just as fortunate).

Another shit Reddit moment, I’ve not missed it at all.

cooljacob204,

Surprisingly 2% blocked at lemmy.world. Cloudflare insights which isn't the worst tbh.

I guess that depends on the instance and its admins, rather than Lemmy as a platform.

TheGreatFox,

It does. 0% here over on lemm.ee.

@Arotrios@kbin.social avatar

They've had issues with CSAM and DDOS attacks - they're probably using Cloudflare to help mitigate that.

HipPriest, a RedditMigration en Looks like Reddit is removing the ability to opt out of personalized advertisements.

I guess I'd just assumed they'd already done that at some point already

CoffeeAddict, a RedditMigration en Looks like Reddit is removing the ability to opt out of personalized advertisements.

To the surprise of no one here, they are continuing to make reddit worse.

@CoffeeAddict guess we'll see another kbin/lemmy + masto bump soon.

just wait until they start monetizing karma. it's gonna turn that site into a race for the bottom

Don’t forget their plan to allow users kick out mods and then imagine how people with monetary interests will conspire to kick out mods that stop from from maximising their profits…

I hate that you’re right.

squirrel,
@squirrel@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I hate it too. As much as I enjoy Lemmy, Reddit was my go-to social platform thing for a long time. I hate to see it being mismanaged by an incompetent fool like Spez.

Haui,
@Haui@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Same. It’s heartbreaking. But people were/are not ready/able to save it so we have to move on. As sad as it is.

squirrel,
@squirrel@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

At the moment my main gripe is that people still refuse to move to other platforms despite it all. I want to scream “It’s not going to get better, folks!” at them all of the time. But I am too tired to do it.

Damaskox,
@Damaskox@kbin.social avatar

I wonder would one reason be that if "the most" of the community is there, it's just better to be there with the folks and the content rather than take a leap to a much smaller place and feel small or lonely or something like that...

(I haven't used kbin/lemmy for more than an hour - seeing whether this is a new place to stay)

squirrel,
@squirrel@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Yes, of course. The network effect is buoying up Reddit as it is and probably will be until a critical mess of users leave it for good. Besides the obvious truth that Lemmy/Kbin are slower and that’s not what Redditors are used to who have learned to expect something new every time they update their frontpage.

nicetriangle,
@nicetriangle@kbin.social avatar

Somehow missed that and well... fuckin yikes. Reddit is incredibly easy to bot, this will get abused in short order.

mintiefresh, a RedditMigration en I just wanted to leave this here

Wow Reddit is becoming Twitter.

Telvayn,

Reddit leadership saw Musk nuking his site and thought “hey, we can do that too!”

stringere, a RedditMigration en I just wanted to leave this here

“Each subreddit creates its own Community Points token, with a custom name and symbol.”

So based on the art in that panel: communities for a fidget spinner, pinwheel , and a brick…

Seems like par for the course.

Weighted polls? Something something Animal Farm.

TheRazorX, a RedditMigration en I just wanted to leave this here

Run weighted polls to make big decisions in your community, like getting input on rules changes or deciding how to distribute Points.

Unlike regular polls, these polls give a larger voice to people who have contributed more to the community. The more Community Points someone has earned, the more weight their vote carries

Am I the only one that thinks this is a horrible idea considering the creator to lurker ratio?

originalucifer,
@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

i find it hilarious considering they used the same excuse for forcing sub policy change reversion; "only the active people voted, you cant just change the sub policy because of allll the lurkers"..

reddit executive lacks cohesive governance. just a complete shitshow

So anyone can pay to manipulate content now, and not just people with big pockets? Neat. I think I'll just buy @ernest more coffee...

If this is indeed new and not from 2021,I'm waiting for Reddit to implement about 10% of it badly and then make promises about the rest for another 5+ years.

@Arotrios@kbin.social avatar

JFC I left just in time. This is literally encouraging me to go through the effort of deleting my old reddit accounts. Am I the only one that became notably nauseous when viewing that link? It's like it's been designed by the CCP for kindergartners.

forgotaboutlaye,

I had 3 accounts from the last 12 years that I went through and deleted the comments on. I never really posted anything helpful, so I didn't feel too bad depriving the communities of the content, but it felt really good to do.

My favorite part

Communities are the lifeblood of the Internet. But on today's Internet, they are not in charge of their own destiny. Instead, they are controlled by the large platforms that hold all the power online. It is time for a change.

It's time for a change all right, lol

LostMyRedditLogin,

Whoever wrote that has a future in the Trump campaign. Zero self awareness. Too funny.

curiosityLynx,

The irony is strong in this one. 😂

Humorhose,

Reddit can’t possibly be that self-aware lol
