Madison_rogue, hace 11 meses a RedditMigration en Inside Reddit's path to an IPO, where employees see 'thrash' from constant pivots and say more managers may leave amid a flattening

I wonder when buying these 3rd party apps as acquisitions, if Reddit brought along their dev(s) in the process. It sounds like they didn't, which would be so shortsighted. Because what it seems is that once Reddit had these programs in their possession, they didn't know what to do with them, or how to integrate them into their own source code...at least with Spell this seems to be the case. I have no idea about Alien Blue, which I had used at one point prior to using Reddit's own mobile app. All they had to do with Alien Blue is rebrand...why didn't they?

How do you employ nearly 2,000 people. an army of unpaid moderators, and not come up with proper tools to navigate your own program, or find profitability off its user data? I think that Huffman has had no plan, leads a top-heavy organization, has been coasting along the company putting out day-to-day fires, and now he's scrambling to quickly find something profitable to show his investors.

There are a lot of things that don't make sense at the core of Reddit, because Google, Chat AI, and ad revenue are the places to make a profit...not API usage from 3rd party apps. I watched a really great video of the history of D&D last night on Nebula, and wow talk about lessons that Reddit could learn about 3rd party contributors.

(I'm going to link the video, but you need a subscription to Nebula and/or Curiosity Stream to view it). TL;DW summary: D&D works best as a business when it collaborates with 3rd party contributors and its fans.

Shocked Pikachu face there...

On top of that, Reddit hasn't been able to fully integrate Spell's technology since its acquisition, two employees familiar with the matter said.

No time for Reddit to comment because they're working on mod tools....right....RIGHT?

The API pricing would cost him nearly $20 million per month to run his app

I really wish journalists would get this right. I've seen $20 million per month instead of per year more than once.

Madison_rogue, hace 11 meses a RedditMigration en People in /r/redditalternatives are talking about a "Reddit 2.0" What website would fill that role?

I'm just as old as he is, maybe only a few years younger. I started to learn computers on a Commodore VIC 20 and 64, used tape drives for storage. I entered into BBS near the end of its popularity, however I used chat boards, AOL, and Geocities...old forums as well. I also moderated a forum for a few years on a Star Wars fan site before the admin shut it down and I moved to Reddit.

I have a lot of experience navigating forums as well...Fediverse sometimes takes a little bit more digging to find what you want. The point I was also trying to make is that these platforms are also in their infancy, their alpha programming state. So things will change, the platform will develop. This kind of thing isn't built in a day, yet IMHO it's so much nicer not having ads forced down my throat on desktop every five posts.

If this person doesn't like the experience here, then there's nothing saying he can't go back to Reddit.

It's different, it's not that difficult, only mildly annoying with some compatibility issues for platforms that are still basically in their alpha phase (like kbin).

It's incredibly annoying, and pushes people right back to centralized systems.

Yet the community of active users continues to grow.

I just find ActivityPub kind of confusing. It works for Mastodon because that's user-centric, and most people only have an account on one site. But the same communities can exist on multiple sites, and it's confusing to navigate all of that.

This sounds like someone who hasn't even tried. These instances aren't difficult to navigate, they're just setup a little differently. It's like refusing to go to another country because they use metric instead of imperial (or vice versa).

This has been very helpful reminding me that I need to get my bicycle fixed. It's been almost a year since I wrecked it and broke my arm.

Madison_rogue, hace 1 año a RedditMigration en Kbin Familiarity - a theme i made to replicate old reddit on kbin!

First...Kbin's UI is IIRC currently in its alpha state. This isn't the finished product. Secondly, the UI is setup in the manner old internet forums used to be organized, with some additional tweeks to prioritize boosted and upvoted topics. Finally, this UI may not emulate Reddit in its final upgrade because it's a different kind of social platform.

I'd just ask people to be patient. There has been a huge influx of users to kbin, and lemmy over the course of the past month and the people behind the scenes have been working tirelessly just to keep up with user/server demand.

Madison_rogue, hace 1 año a RedditMigration en Did Karma really matter that much in Reddit?

What would you do if you had to engage in conversation?

Madison_rogue, hace 1 año a RedditMigration en Did Karma really matter that much in Reddit?

So true...my well thought out comments mostly flew under the radar. Stupid ones, or low effort ones received the most upvotes.

It's such an odd measure, and people in different subreddits were all over the place with their upvotes. I often couldn't make sense out of it.

Madison_rogue, hace 1 año a RedditMigration en Reminder: reddit may be dead, but trolls are not.

Yes. Back then there wasn't any upvoting or downvoting, so the only way you interacted with a troll is either engage them or ignore them...preferably the latter.

Images like this were typical...yet helpful.

This site gives an idea of how Lemmy & kbin are growing.

Although I didn't use your app, Christian. The work you and other devs have done with your 3rd party apps for Reddit was outstanding. Good luck with whatever's over the next horizon!

Sorry things went sour with Reddit, and wish it could have been different.

Madison_rogue, hace 1 año a RedditMigration en Op-ed: Why the great #TwitterMigration didn’t quite pan out

I don't think it's a question of enough people ditching Reddit, but just enough to create and/or provide quality content.

And really that doesn't matter as much as participating in a platform that's free of all the BS Reddit evolved into. Fediverse has a platform free of almost everything long term Redditors came to hate.

Isn't that going to happen anyways if Reddit doesn't supply better mod tools by midnight tomorrow?
