"Despite these concessions, dozens of Redditors promised to stop using the site altogether "
There are dozens of us!! Lol
i think most reluctantly have some use for it still. i only use it for gamethreads and the shittiest of shitposts, or for super niche things that don’t have any equivalent on lemmy. at the end of the day, i think people would rather stay connected with their communities than abandon them, even if it means providing value for some of the stupidest and most malignant people in the world at the same time. look how many people are still using twitter
I didn’t see you at the convention in Munich last summer.
“Technical tweaks”? Did the author write this while sucking huffman’s taint?
Did you see spez’s senior prom picture in the article?
The only thing that’s changed is all the good modetators have left and the default subs have gotten worse.
God forbid you say anything mildly positive of Palestine on the main politics site. The AIPAC hired mods immediately permaban you.

I am of the belief that reddit just replaced leaving users with LLM drone users to fill the void.
The bots were always there, the bot-to-human ratio is just much higher now

reposting the worst quote i heard all year - or perhaps all my life
“There’s a lot of stuff on the site that you’d only ever say in therapy, or AA, or never at all … But we don’t need to give all of that value to some of the largest companies in the world for free.”
fuck spez, fuck reddit
dugg their grave
Down with Reddit!
So many comments/posts look like bots.
Reddit always had a “repost” problem. But this time, not only am I feeling like I already saw this post, but also all the top comments? Just regurgitation of posts from years ago.
Whatever. Don’t care. I left my account open but scrubbed twelve years of content, including hundreds (probably thousands) of answers to technical questions and dozens of posts (including guides) to which my reddit post was the only or one of the only search results.
If corporations want to profit from my knowledge, they can do so by exploiting the open source community, just like always.
It’s worth googling “reddit /u/username” and rechecking your post history (including changing between hot/top/controversial and different time ranges) every few months.
Googling will show up a lot of the posts/comments you have missed using 3rd party deletion tools.
Reddit caches sometimes pull older content from the database or whatever, and you get “access” to it again.
Can someone message the editor and share how because of this backlash, many moved to other platforms - like lemmy?
This is a Reddit circle jerk article, so no.
