This is what got me to return to Lemmy
Welcome back
Welcome back! How are you finding it this time?
Reminder that people did fuck-all to actually try and stop spez from turning Reddit into this dumpster fire
We are here now, so there’s at least that
Everyone on this website did something to stop it. Leaving.
They are going to pay those mods, right? Right?
LOL next it’ll be you need a Premium Member Subscription to be a mod.
I went back to check things out for the first time in a while and realized just how awful it is in comparison to Lemmy. It’s an incomprehensible clusterfuck of bots and influence campaigns. As long as engagement and new account numbers look good on paper to appease shareholders, I guess.
Not every sub. The ones I use are mostly unchanged
Other than OF-style content, what exactly are they planning to paywall?
OF content would be a massive money maker. That might be enough to justify the whole project
If they paywall their porn, the site tumblrs off a cliff.
Not just paywall their porn, also force linking:
-
Payment method and thus Identity to reddit account
-
Identity to whatever degenerate shit you like to get off to.
That’s why I downloaded the top 250 non-text posts from 250 different pornographic subreddit when they announced the API bullshit over a year ago. I got an old man style static spank bank like playboy magazines in the 70s on my home server for safe keeping.
I should probably scrape the top 250 from this past year from my favorite 20 or so subs manually or find some automated way that still works 🤔

Beautiful turn of phrase.
Could please share the article from the screenshot? The one where he says he wants to paywall r/asshole design?
So basically anything goes in terms of content…
EDIT: The reference to assholedesign is a joke, the first part is legite (that they are generally considering paywalled subs).
Gross and also why is this here?
why is this here
Because it’s relevant?
Don’t let a bad thing go to waste, it’s a great opportunity to shore up, improve, and accept migrating users with friendliness and openness.
A great time to share the ideology behind decentralized social media.
So every negative news about Twitter, Instagram and literally every non-fedi social media platform is “relevant” too?
The post itself doesn’t even make an effort to connect this to potential benefits for fedi.
Yes, I’m surprised with the score of the post as usually those tend to be downvoted. !reddit@lemmy.world is there for a reason
