You know I was a multi time a day user, I had lot of favorite subreddits, I accidentally posted in a sub that I had been “banned” in from my other account (for making a comment that was not particularly political and they said it was), it was not malicious, was not intentional, was not trying to “get around their ban” just accidently posted from the wrong account. Didn’t notice what sub I was in. Then 4 months later I did the same thing not, I was just not paying attention to what sub I made a casual offhanded comment in. I ALSO happened to be using a VPN. And BAM! IP banned, all 8 of my accounts banned even my business account. I was so so so upset. But now a month later, I still get kinda upset that I can’t use it to ask questions. but man what a fucking time suck it was. My brain was just rotting away there. That whole IP banning thing is total bullshit.
yep. not to mention the laughable appeals process. Their entire help section is essentially just two people and an automod.
The problem is Lemmy is still really small in comparison
That whole IP banning thing is total bullshit
Got my entire office banned that way. People have to work now.
Having 8 Reddit accounts is so goddamn funny and normal.
Aaron Swartz is probably rolling in his grave for what Reddit has become.
Ditto. Had multiple accounts for anonymity and different algorithms lol. I was talking about a “murder suicide” true case and that got flagged as “threatening violence” and I got permanently banned 😅 jumped on a different account and…perma banned. And yep, instantly took out all 5 accounts 🤷♀️ hence why I’m here lol.
And I get the whole it’s their business and they can do what they want but when it’s a monopoly basically, they should not be allowed to IP ban people.
Regardless, they’ll still bend over & take it.
Hi everyone, this was the last straw for me. Can anyone point me in the direction of the porn?
Just use it. You will never see an ad if that is the only thing you are looking at.
try fedinsfw.app
This is the thing that gets me. It’s kind of a double edged sword using an underground community like Lemmy. I still use Reddit for nsfw (God bless red reader) because the normie girls haven’t migrated over here yet. There is such a mature community of self posting NSFW content that I haven’t found anywhere else on the Internet like it tbh.
Yep
There simply isn’t anywhere here for me to post the content that I create
then make it
create a community
I don’t care enough
Go to Bluesky. I think due to the size of the Fediverse its porn content is infinitesimally smaller than Reddits. To flab my cheeks together and speak out of my ass locally hosting explicit content on a home server is also too risky. The low content available + search complexity makes googling boobs a better option.*gestures in the general direction of the entire internet *
Fuck you, spez.
With a dull, rusty, red hot spoon.
Whispering slurs from your mom’s basement don’t help.
Bros we need a better lemmy plan.
More content. And making spez super sad and poor.
Someone needs to build a Firefox extension to periodically poll best content from subreddits they like and automatically repost to lemmy. Automatically.
So there are tons more content on lemmy. U get it?Not self hosted docker - most people won’t bother setting up residential proxies and fight bans, no - just a real browser, simple extension and simple settings, with legit ublock and auto reposting to lemmy. This way people don’t have to do shit and content would just transfer.
It’s fair use because it’s for ai.
This will make spez sad and poorer. Let’s do this
“More bot spam!”
How bout fuckin no.
Get only the most upvoted content bro.
But the upvotes come from bots.
I get what you say, but people already mirror Reddit posts on Lemmy, and post Lemmy content on Reddit
Not as long as they can’t deprecate old.reddit lol
Fuck u/spez
You can get around it, there’s literally a Reddit how to post xD
I’m not getting that pop-up but it’s probably blocked by my browser. I’ll still continue to use it in my browser while also using Lemmy. I hope more people are going to join the Fediverse due to this.
I find it does this off and on. If you change the user agent or open the site in desktop mode itvsuddenly goes away. They are still tryingbto push the app. And the app still looks terrible. Rif used to be my jam.
Not only does the app look terrible, it’s able to collect much more juicy data from you.
RIF then Apollo, though Apollo really set the standard.
holy fuck, RIF was epic. RIP RIF.
I guess it died around the same time that its name became a false statement.
this just in: company enshittifies product and doesn’t give a fuck about you, only money. More at 10.
Anyone holding out as long as possible, old.reddit.com still worked for me earlier this week on mobile. Ymmv
LibRedirect addon allows one to change links to reddit’s and other sites’ mirrors instead.
I thrive on the
oldsubdomain, yeah. The new form with variable popup-like post frames depending on how you approached the content is barely even tolerable, and certainly much less appealing.By the way, Slide works really well (again); that’s the mobile app that I use. You just have to go through the steps to list yourself as an app developer and claim it’s your app, which the current Slide maintainer literally instructs you to do to use the app lol. It’s great and cuts through all the crap. However, I’m really trying to be more active here across Lemmy, all the same. If Old and the remaining mobile apps like Slide go, then I’m totally out.
I think they’re keeping it around as a dirty little secret that either leadership doesn’t acknowledge or they realize it’s the last bastion of their power user base.
To that end, I hope it sticks around for a while, but if they ever get rid of it, I think the only ones left would be noobs and bots.
Hello I would like to buy your competent product aaaaaand it’s gone.
This might explain why my RSS reader sometimes breaks. All I go to Reddit for via RSS is to read shitposts about my shitty baseball team, anyway. My cardiac health would be better if I just quit.
Mets fan? 😇
Sports shitposts when the team is doing awful is such an amazing coping mechanism. Some really creative stuff comes out.
Is that why lemmy.world is now shitting the bed every third load like it’s under a DDOS?
Oh shit, it all makes sense now. Was on .world earlier this morning and thought DDOS for sure. Slow af and dropping requests.
My bad
I had to test it, using Firefox on iPhone (so webkit) in the EU, got a small pop up at the bottom nagging about their data stealing app, but with a big closing button at the top. It closed just fine.
The article says they’re testing this with some users, but not all yet. So some of us may have different experiences.
It could be however also that they don’t do it to EU users. Who knows.
3 days tops before some reverse engineers the app and makes a proxy website. You won’t win this fight, spez. You will just lose in the most expensive way possible.
I just got a notice that if I want to keep FB chat running, so I can talk to my mom and her siblings, I need another fucking pin code of sorts.
Because essentially adding 4 digits-only to the end of your password is valuable at all.
In this light, it’s hard to gauge where the enshittification baseline is.
I don’t think there is one. If they move fast towards worsening the product, people notice and bail early, but if they slow roll it really patiently, the bleeding of users seems to be much slower and less pronounced overall. It seems that there may even be some among us for which there is literally no floor at all, and they would tolerate anything, but ultimately leave at the end only because everyone else already did and there’s nobody left to talk to. Now that they have LLMs, maybe they can retain that last cohort with no standards at all; we’ll see!
I wonder if it is possible for me to express, even mathematically, just how MUCH their “app” can fuck off?
“Personalized experience” AKA “even more ad revenue”.
