Reddit

Not plugging the MSN news feed - just pointing out how bad its gotten. Reddit use to be the alternative now its just slop.

TL;DR: A leaked Reddit admin policy change will reportedly limit accounts to moderating only one large subreddit (1M+ weekly viewers) and up to five medium-sized subreddits (100k+ weekly viewers). This is seen as a response to past subreddit blackouts over API changes, with some moderators allegedly planning to circumvent the restrictions. Here are some screenshots if you don't want to view the cancerous link:

Honestly. too little too late and for the wrong reasons. They should have done this 6-8 years ago.

I used to love Reddit. Back in the day, it was awesome, you had customizable commands for niche communities and you had enough control over the feed so as to not see bs all the time. My only prior experiences with social media had been Facebook and Twitter so the bar was really low, yet I loved it. Now it's just a horrible site to navigate. I have like 3 communities that make up 80% of my main feeds and for the life of me I can't seem to find a single human. Like all accounts are generic names with the same pattern: quirky writing style, posts and comments like crazy in maybe 3 communities, and is like less than 4 years old. Why? Why does this make sense to them? Who are they serving ads to?

They auto-translated Original Poster as Původní plakát where "plakát" does mean "poster" but only the kind that you hang on a wall.

Another win for auto translation.

Am I right? I just read three Reddit posts. Their formats and writing styles are so similar as if someone just used ChtGpt to mass produce posts

They must be desperate for us to shut the fuck up about the state of things!

On a thread about Germans not wanting to "fight for their country", some blames the rich, while this one idiot decides to become a nationalistic xenophobe. 🤦‍♂️

I unthinkingly said "Remember to punch a [not see] if you see one, and have a great day." But, I spelled it out. (I don't want to get banned here, too, because I dunno if that's disallowed here, too.)

Yeah, I know, I just wasn't thinking, and said what was in my heart.

Oh well.

Reddit wants me to shut up, but my late dad would be proud of me, and that's what matters most.

Reddit is going to be leaning even harder into search in the coming months. The company has already been working on a plan to integrate its LLM-powered search into its main search feature, but CEO Steve Huffman said he wants users to think of the site as an actual search engine.

During the company's latest earnings call, Huffman said search is one of the top priorities for Reddit. "We're concentrating our resources on the areas that will drive results for our most pressing needs, improving the core product, making Reddit a go-to search engine, and expanding internationally."

The idea of reddit as a search engine isn't that far-fetched. Many people are already in the habit of adding "Reddit" to traditional searches in the hopes of finding relevant threads from the site. And the company has been trying to take advantage of this with its own AI-powered search product Reddit Answers. Though that feature is still labeled as being in "beta," the company plans to eventually add it to its default search bar.
