everybody on ilx complains about reddit

considering reddit's role in building up the cult of musk there would be a symmetry to the platform getting totally muskified

which would presumably mean the return of explicit nazism among other things

"So Twitter lost 70% of its revenue and I said HELL YEAH GIMME SOME OF THAT"

Had a feeling that this would turn out to be the case.

Rough couple of weeks for these guys.

Reddit’s month may be going from bad to worse.

Hackers from the BlackCat ransomware gang, also known as ALPHV, are threatening to leak 80 gigabytes of confidential data from Reddit that they claim to have stolen during a February breach, according to a post from the group on the dark web, which was reviewed by CNN and an independent cybersecurity expert.

In their post, the hackers claim they first demanded a $4.5 million payout “for the deletion of the data and our silence” in April. After receiving no response, the group said it followed up on Friday with an additional demand: Reddit should withdraw a controversial new pricing policy that has sparked a protest from some of the platform’s most influential users.

Some subs are now allowing NSFW posts in protest as Reddit has a policy of not allowing ads on NSFW subs. Check out /r/interestingasfuck as one of these.

Also to avoid the ugly desktop UI try old.reddit.com. As long as that's still around I'll still use Reddit at least on desktop. Reddit Enhancement Suite still works with it, fortunately.

Spez's recent comments are only going to embolden protests, trolling and backlash. I wouldn't be surprised if a clone successfully pops up by the end of the year and Reddit experiences the very kind of exodus that helped buoy their success back in 2005.

100% old Reddit is the way to go

I dont mind the look of nu-reddit? But I guess its all I ever knew having come in late.

This chart from SubredditStats show the daily comments and posts for 5 major subreddits: r/news, r/facepalm, r/mademesmile, r/oddlysatisfying, r/mildlyinfuriating.

And that’s how we've now ended up with a Reddit full of r/MadeMeSmile. And, just in case you're curious about what that looks like — four of the top five Reddit posts were reposted TikToks.

Too bad they didn't come to ilx!

Turns out Reddit talks about us just as much as we talk about reddit

Reddit reportedly signed a multi-million content licensing deal with an AI company
https://www.engadget.com/reddit-reportedly-signed-a-multi-million-content-licensing-deal-with-an-ai-company-124516009.html?guccounter=1

As the moderator of my town's subreddit, I suppose I should have some sort of doomed-to-fail opinion about data privacy. If it wasn't opvious already, only "AI" buzzword compliant b.s. is getting funding - all of it spent to monetize the shit out of everyone and everything.

can't imagine how this could go wrong

Reddit's IPO plans are the stupidest thing I've heard in a while

(specifically this plan: https://apnews.com/article/google-reddit-ai-partnership-a7f131c7cb4225307134ef21d3c6a708) which IMO just means most people who care will stop using reddit
