Damn I never noticed but that dude looks like a dollar store knockoff alpharad
No, user numbers are not down because of a Google change. User numbers are down because they went ban crazy during the election and Luigi stuff.
If you ban people who produce your content, your site quality & engagement declines. It’s not rocket science.
Btw, they’re definitely reversing some of these bans to try to pull people back, and inflate the number of “returning” users. They permabanned two of my accounts for wrongthink during the election, and they’ve already reversed one with no prompting from me at all, after denying appeals months ago.
I got an account strike the other day and a post removed “by Reddit” according to the message for saying something to the effect of “protests without a threat of violence behind it doesn’t mean much to those in power these days” on a thread about some ongoing protests.
Something about a site rule violation for advocating for and/or calling for violence.
My accounts were permabanned because Trump said Liz Cheney deserved to be shot, and I said I didn’t care because she’s called for the deaths of millions of people overseas. Banned for “advocating violence,” simply because I didn’t clutch my pearls that a warmonger was threatened.
Why does his head look like that?
Because he’s a greedy little pig boy.
Dollar store Ken.
Its a side effect of a diet that is a little too heavy on the pineal glands, so, I was told.
He eats pineal glands??
Leftover lube residue from him removing it from his ass moments before the picture was taken? I didn’t click on the thumbnail just my default assumption…
As someone who has to check reddit once in a while, they’ve begun to completely hide the topic and replies of some threads. Luckily, old.reddit still works. I’m not going to log in to see shit that is public.
I wonder if the “google search benefit” also includes google down ranking lemmy instances
“Plunge”
Lemmy poster OBLITERATES claim on NBC article. Readers OUTRAGED.
NBC SLAMMED by commenters from the fedisphere. Atlas SHRUGGED, twice!
-13% after hours on one day is huge. Many stock markets having emergency stops if the main index drops by 10% in a day.
NVIDIA’s stock tanked a month ago, and it’s already back up. Nothing really changes. There’s no such thing as a “plunge” in the stock market, unless a business is truly going bankrupt.
It’s referring to that after-hours part.
Fuck spez
[email protected] if you want to help promote Lemmy Piefed Mbin to new users!
I always thought he was a little piss baby but pigboy works too
Close, but that’s Texas Gov Abbott. Easy mistake, as they’re both giant pieces of shit.
Fuck spez
Fuccck spez
Fuck spez
Reddit has said it is working to convince logged-out users to create accounts as logged-in users, which are more lucrative for its business.
By “convince,” they mean:
- Popup to automatically sign in with Google
- A button right under where you close that popup that shows a QR code to install the app
- Bottom bar on mobile telling you to make an account
- Clicking an upvote or downvote button instantly sending you to the account signup page, even if clicked by accident
- Full-screen popup only on mobile to download the app if you’re accessing anything NSFW (includes posts that simply have too much vulgar language, and are considered “NSFW” in that community, as well as any account page for an account that has ever made an NSFW post)
Yes, very convincing, heavily coercive even!
old.reddit still works… And it’s still a far superior experience to the shit they churned after.
Yep, that’s what I have to use any time I need to look at a Reddit thread. Although the “fuck spez” comments that people replaced their old comments with definitely make the experience worse… as intended. Good for them.
It would have been more fun if they pointed out that old.reddit is better, and also a link to RES lol
I love when I’m troubleshooting something, click on a record link from like 2018, and get a modal encouraging me to “join this trending conversation!”
So glad I got banned from that site (Not for anything wrong, I just pissed off the wrong power hungry mods which resulted in a site wide ban.)
Same here. The mods there are just power-hungry wankers.
Cant open any unverified communities, which is very arbitrary, any small community now requires the app
That’s part of the enshittification rug pull, they take over as the hub of forums for most of the internet and then gatekeep as a power play.
Just deleted my account I’ve had for the past… six years.
Reddit has benefited from Google search updates and internal site improvements that have helped it gain a significant amount of new and returning users, which the social company refers to as logged-out users, over the past year and a half. Reddit has said it is working to convince logged-out users to create accounts as logged-in users, which are more lucrative for its business.
Expect to see more login paywall bullshit from Reddit.
The best way to increase the usage base of a social media site is to block people from accessing it. Everybody knows that.
Lol. I was perma banned cause I said something mean about Trump.
I was “suspended” (by the admins, from the whole site – not just banned by mods from a particular subreddit) because I accurately reported misinformation in r/conservative and the snowflake mods whined that it was “report abuse.”
Once you understand how reddit admins are basically mods themselves it kind of makes sense. The company has hired lots of power mods over the years that don’t “respect the human”. And the forces that be want to continue profiting from volunteer mods’ free labor. It says a lot more about the individual reddit admins that they make the lazy decisions they do.
lol, I was making fake Gmail and Reddit accounts just to mess with people in r/Conservative lol…good times,.
Every ban is a potential new fedi enjoyer
I suggested Ukraine started attacking back at Russian civil infrastructure after Russia attacked a shopping mall.
Spez did not like that one bit, since he’s a Russia supporter.
I was also perma banned because I did the same during Trump’s 1st term talking shit about the spray tanned orange turd, as well as cursing too much.
I commented on a sub with an alt that I was banned from without knowing, it was public freakout on the front page, I went through all the stages of grief, left an abusive relationship that took all my time
Same, haha
I was permabanned because I made fun of anime on a non anime board and it was reported as “bullying and harassment “.
Fuck your Chinese cartoons.

Well, maybe deleting my account
Fair point
What if every time you logged back in Spez would get kicked in the balls?
They should make an app for that.

It’s too bad when one person on planet Earth has published a solution to a problem you have. And it’s some random commenter on Reddit from a few years ago. And under optimal conditions, the only thing to do would be to give a little thank you.
Vaat majority of time that account is deleted, banned, or inactive
What if they paid you in real life money?
deleted by creator
How very “Landed Gentry” of you.
(I am assuming that whole debacle is how you got your username? Haha)
deleted by creator
I mean sure, I would do it if it paid well…and then donate all the money to awesome fediverse projects and communities!
It will be a cold day in hell before I make another Reddit account
They been putting them up for years now.
fedi4life
Give me more reasons to not visit!
Right now the only reason I have t ovisit is ‘wearing powered armor to a magic school’
Jfc that thumbnail of Huffman’s face triggered me. How did he manage to make his face look MORE punchable??
With the power of ai they managed to create the most punchable face ever. So he only had to follow the blueprint laid out for him.
Bros face looks like my cats anus while sliding a cookie out.
In other news, Lemmy stock mooned infinity% from 0.00 to 0.00 plus beans.
Beans!
It’s almost like communication platforms shouldn’t have profitability as their main goal… maybe they could be… distributed… like some sort of… federation. Yeah. That’s it. Then everyone would follow along like… lemmings or something
Reddit shares plunge after missing engagement numbers due to fall off following enshitification
Lol fake news would never admit that a company got punished for taking a dump on its user baze’s heads
Holy hell how much plastic did Huffman invest to look like a dollar general bond villain.
Dollar General‽ Please. Don’t insult DG like that, dude looks no better than Dollar Tree grade
(For non-Americans, Dollar General is a “discount” store chain, largely found in “food deserts”. Dollar Tree is a bonafide dollar store where everything (was anyways) just a dollar. Yes, the quality is about as crap as you’d expect (though sometimes they did sell good stuff if they were able to acquire it cheap enough))
