My friend sent me this, the current state of Reddit. (I left during the app issue and haven’t looked back)

    Hopefully the fact that they felt the need to do this means they’re doing badly financially (and hopefully this doesn’t help with that)

    It would be great if Lemmy’s devs implemented loosely based (for fair use) copies of these and gave them for free :)

    … and I am starting to see user agent and VPN blocks now just within the last few days… It’s officially over, so glad to be here. Been in the fediverse since the API shutdown. Bouncing between instances. First post on this one! Absolutely no regrets.

      Yeah I read they tried to play that off as an accident. You don’t “accidentally” block VPN users. That just doesn’t accidentally happen. They’re obviously attempting to do it, just waiting to deploy it. The anonymous social network sure does seem like they want you to not be anonymous.

        Is that what happened? I occasionally check reddit at work since it’s unfortunately still one of the better places for actual answers to things, and in the last few days I’ve needed to use old.reddit.com to get around getting blocked. VPN block explains a lot.

    Are reddit paying contributors, moderators or people creating posts¿? If no then how are they claiming that buying a golden upvote supports contributors

    God… I can barely remember the time before the top comment threads of every goddamned post were always lazy strings of circle-jerky jokes that you could predict before even clicking into the thread.

            Wow, epic! I rate this comment 5/7 with rice! You’ve won the internet for today, my friend! I’ll pet my heckin chonky pupperino in your honor! You’re breathtaking!

            This is better than that time my arms were broken and my mom took care of me (don’t worry, we’re not from Alabama! LOL 😂)

      Don’t you love it when they’re not even made by humans, but it’s just bots copying the top comment from the last time it got posted

      I was hoping when I came over here it would be more like the good old days of reddit. And i think it is, but barely. Plenty of the low quality shit made the jump as well.

      Just look at this thread. Sort by top. The top post is circle jerking about people left reddit for here. The next top post is a vomiting emoji. A fucking emoji. I haven’t even been here that long and the comments in this thread were predictable in the same exact way.

    This has gotta be the stupidest (and honestly ugliest) alternative to Reddit awards.

    Thanks for the crudely gold-colored-brass up vote, kind stranger.

    LMAO, imagine paying someone for content and then having a Reddit bot (or human) to copy it here for Lemmy.

    Is this the new NFT lol?
