News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

thanks for posting here. I have no idea who the venkman01 is but the way they worded that post is borderline cringe

[–] [email protected] 88 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Yeah, "sunsetting" is such trash corporate speak.

Corpo scum are allergic to saying exactly what they mean, so they insist on hiding their intent behind flowery words that sound "good" to them. I guess they think that if they use weasel words, it'll soften the blow when they decide to strip out features and further destroy their platforms.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

It’s not an allergy, it’s hiding punches. It’s concealing the fact that they’re fucking you in the ass by telling you it’s just a penis-based prostate exam, and that you’re the one being weird. It’s gaslighting.

It’s one of the things I hate most in our capitalist dystopia.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

Also he is using it wrong because "sunsetting" means a slow winding down. You know, because the sun doesn't instantly turn off.

But they basically literally just suddenly turned off gold today, without any pre warning.

They have basically sent a message to everyone telling them they've already done it.

This made me realize I spend too much of my life reading and writing trash corporate speak because I breezed past most of this as yup, seems normal lol.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I’m so sorry. You should spend more time here, where everyone uses language in a completely classy, sublime, and not-at-all-ungrammatical-ever way.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah, next they'll say it's time to 'say goodbye' to awards. thanks, I'm 6

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That means it'll come back soon, right?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Right, Anakin?

[–] [email protected] 56 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Official reddit posts are always cringey. They unironically call people "Snoos".

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Gesundheit?

Anyways, who has time and energy to read such a dumb, way too long post?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I will say one thing. At least he didn't use a cringe gif in the post.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What, you don't like 3 gifs per line?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It feels forced and inauthentic. For a little while posts seemed like they followed a template and to be honest many of them were just embarrassing that an adult posted them.

I am pretty upset that they are removing awards from past posts because I've given out 455 golds, 125 platinum, and 200 community awards and now those posts won't carry those badges anymore. I just don't understand that.

Also, are you the same person that created the Fast Report Userscript for reddit? It was a godsend for the 9 months or so that I was aware of it. I created a ban bot for which that tool was an essential part of the workflow. Anyway, that's all over now. Lemmy's API looks to be much , much easier to work with than reddit's so I haven't found any roadblocks whatsoever to moving my entire presence here so that is my current plan.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yup, that's me. I've got some lemmy scripts in the works too. Here's one that sets your language automatically when posting, and let's you use command enter to post on a Mac

Fast report has been updated, removing the botdefense 1 click submit. Funny thing is, I wrote fast reports to make using a bot on rAndroid easier

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm an 11 year user, but I don't see myself using the site much longer, or if I do, continuing in the same way that I used to. I've modded probably 150 or more different subs in my time. All good things must end.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How can you see how many awards youve given out on Reddit?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's on your profile page on old reddit.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Of course it's cringe. Wankman can't even spell his own username correctly.

"Trust us everyone, it'll be great! Also we're taking away stuff you paid for and we're not refunding any of your money because fuck you LOL."
