Reddit is still a mess
Reddit is still a mess
Reddit's battling massive user dissatisfaction at the same time it's running r/place, a cooperative event for users.
Still no mention of Lemmy or Kbin
It's so weird. User's will complain like hell, but never actually stop being users.
How is "competition" supposed to work if you're not willing to to switch to a "competitor"? There's no competition forcing a company to improve if you just really sternly tell them off, then continue being a customer regardless.
Gradually, then suddenly.
Most users don't make principled stands that easily. People are still on Twitter.
They'll jump ship eventually, as the services will inevitably continue their downward spiral. As far as I'm concerned they can take their sweet time. I'd much prefer seeing the fediverse grow gradually along with its own culture rather than having a sudden influx of users act as if it's an exact substitute for the place they are leaving behind.
Just like every article about Twitter dying will mention BlueSky, Threads, etc but not Mastodon.
Mainstream media will not advertise the free market decentralized solution that is a threat to their power and influence.
Very glad I switched to lemmy.
They didn’t even mention the r/save3rdpartyapps banner having the r/blind logo and tag - it’s part of the banner, along with many 3rd party app logos.
Sorry, but where is the mess? Sounds like lots of people are still actively engaged with Reddit. That's sounds good for any investors of Reddit for sure..
Sorry, but where is the mess?
Reddit brought back r/place so Redditors could have somewhere to vent their anger rather than making subreddits private or other forms of protest. R/place is a distraction and the majority of Redditors fell for it.
Reddit is dead
Oh no! Anyway.
Reddit has been a rotting shit hole for years
Accounts that are couple of days old are clearing anti spez artwork. You can see it live. Just watch the pixels get replaced as they are replaced
Reddit leadership forgot where their value comes from. Let it burn.They reap what they sow.
And people are still going. More news at 11.
"The changes in July made access to Reddit's API too expensive for smaller third-party apps to maintain operations. This forced some to shut down, like Apollo, ReddPlanet, Sync, and BaconReader. These third-party apps were popular because many were available before an official Reddit app was created in 2016. They also offered accessibility options for the visually impaired that the official app doesn't."
Right. This is exactly why everyone thought the 3rd party clients were better.
=\
Always has been
It’s becoming more of a mess every day
Let's just stop talking about Reddit and move on.
