A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
Random Rant: I feel like reddit died after they banned all the "unmoderated" communities. All the posts became sanitized. Now reddit is adding AI and streaks and NFTs to keep people on a platform that has no more content.
Adding NFT? In 2025? They really are desperate..
they want to paywall subs eventually, plus becoming a facebook clone down the line, where the datamining features included, like requiring your REAL ID, facial recognition, i suspect thier bannings propensity will get more intense as facebook too if you try to "lie" on your credentials.
They already require your real ID if you are in the UK
Before the API thing there was only one “am I the asshole” subreddit.
now theres like 4 of them, most of them are bots, or written by a person that is gauging peoples reaction(for thier personal projects)
What is the 99.99 stuff? NFT ? Avatar?
Reddit is really the only online place that embraced NFTs and maintained an ecosystem with them. It's a small ecosystem, but they use them in all their absurdly nihilistic glory.
If I understand correctly you can buy a NFT to use as your profile picture. But its completely useless since the only place you will ever see it as a tiny icon next to your name in the comments and on the profile page that no one visits.
Reddit says that most of these are "limited runs" but that's BS because "limited" can mean they made 5 or 5 000 000.
Both, I believe. I haven't used reddit for a while, but when I was on there and they were selling NFTs, they were both avatars (more specifically, a combination of outfit pieces you could mix and match with other pieces from other NFT and non-NFT avatars) and a collectible at once.
I honestly don't have much of a problem with how they did NFTs as avatars. If you want to monetize your platform in a way that doesn't paywall any actual features or meaningfully impact the user experience, go for it. But they really started to go hog wild on it and promoted it so persistently that it felt like you were being made to care about a profile picture you probably wouldn't have remembered you even had otherwise.
Reddit has been on a slow, steady downward trajectory for over a decade. However, it was the rampant engagement bots nagging me with inane questions that drove me away. That, and overzealous moderation deleting comments and dishing out temporary bans for the lamest reasons. Reddit used to be the place where smart and funny people hung out and shared. Now it's just another bland social media site trying to wring the greatest profit out the unwashed masses.
started in 2017, around the same time 45 first term. subs started to have very inflammatory content, so they start banning anyone that remotely they think, its offensive in that Political climate. just like you cant use the word, black, and demographic word in certain context.
Reddit died with Aaron. The fact you're still trying to milk Internet points from that site, using Reddit-style, low effort posting, only reveals you're the kind of user that ruined it in the first place.
Don't Reddit my Lemmy
