Yeah, but now spez allows a full invasion -- and AI moderation dropping banhammers on "violent" users -- so that he would then sell off the data to anyone willing to pay him millions.
I have used Reddit for nearly 15 years, and never once received a ban/suspension, until this past year when I've received 3, all triggered by AI moderation.
Not that I'm distraught over them, but it is annoying because I use Reddit specifically for niche sports communities that just don't exist on Lemmy.
And even those communities are full of bots, so I can only imagine what the mainstream subreddits look like now.
If their sole motivation was making money they had plenty of way more reliable options for applying their skills than gambling on Digg shitting itself and everyone jumping onto their lifeboat. Capitalism didn’t create Reddit, people laboring under capitalism did.
I'd have to say... Space Haven? It looks kind of like the lovechild of Dungeon Keeper and RimWorld I've been hoping someone would make, and it has received excellent reviews throughout its lifetime.

Can confirm.
One of my more ridiculous bans from reddit was "advocating violence" by joking about mosquitoes getting cancer.

Said I would slap someone for jump-scaring me on a video of a jump scare prank where someone was slapped. Permabanned. Even tried to appeal.

I got banned from a forum because someone was being racist and I called them out on it. HE IS STILL THERE.

Spez ruined Reddit, and then gave AI the chance!
l_isqof@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 257d
Yes and no. I'm sure most of the bans from the past year are automated.

Greed ruined reddit, AI was just some shitsauce on top.

So capitalism

Capitalism also made reddit in the first place though. Greed isn't exclusive to capitalism either.
optissima@lemmy.ml · 19 pts · 257d
No, capitalism didnt create reddit. People inspired by DIGG created reddit while living in a capitalist economy.

They're all just forums with voting, but the salient point was that they were created to make money for the people who started the company.

Another instance of capitalism being shit

AI slop is ruining Internet for everyone*
ClockworkOtter@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 257d
Not ruining it for me, just saying.

Would you be willing to admit it's worse than it was 15 years ago?
ClockworkOtter@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 256d
Based on the reports by other Lemmy users it sounds like it's worse.

Reddit can take a leap.

Greed is ruining everything for everyone.
Akasazh@feddit.nl · 4 pts · 256d
Deservedly so.
Greedy little fuck boi ruined it
its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 256d
Best sort made reddit unusable for me. Opaque systems for no reason other than revenue makes me irrationally angry.
bhamlin@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 256d
Yes. The ai. That's why reddit is bad. The slop. Uh huh.

If /r/CFB didn't exist I would never have a need to go there

Of my several hundred open Firefox tabs, /r/FreeGameFindings/new is the only Reddit tab remaining.

What's a game on your list that you have been wanting (maybe a few years old, not new)?

Unmoderated mods aren't helping reddit either

FB is mostly AI slop
