News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Yes let's put a site that consists pretty much entirely of user-created content behind a paywall, what could possibly go wrong?
Well, Spez is a special kind of stupid.
I think people who are content with Reddit being the way it is deserve someone like Spez.
The users still on reddit are even dumber than him
digg v5 just dropped
Quora did it. I don't go there anymore.
Don't lie. When 70% of your search results are Quora, you are going to click, you are going to encounter the login banner, you are going to rage, and you are going to click away.
Nope, those "answers" didn't help even once, so now they're filtered out of search results, and DNS banned. Quora does not appear on my devices.
I've had some help from Quora, but overall I feel it wastes my time a lot more than not. And I've never had an instance where only Quora had the answer.
This why it pays to use a search engine that lets you blocklist sites
So like Google 15 years ago when it was still kind of not shit?
Any recommendations?
Or use the ublocklist extension, this puts a button besides all search results to perma ban that domain and allows URL lists like this for automatic garbage removal.
At the risk of sounding like a shill, I like Kagi.
Even when the login banner doesn't appear, lately all the answers are "Hm, it appears that you are trying to do [question title]. To do [question title], [basic bitch advice]. Hope this helps!" Style AI slop.
When it isn't the built-in AI helper doing it, it's the users blatantly copying from different chatbots
was Quora ever good? I joined the internet in like 2019 and it's always been garbage to me, did I miss its golden age?
Anecdotally, I remember using it for answers to things about probably business, government, and certain how-to's. I also remember when the pop-over banner started covering up half the answers and that's around the time I stopped.
Here's a post discussing quora from Dec 2018.

thank you for the explainer, this is very interesting. seems reddit is following along this path lol
Once upon a time, Quora was okay, before they started paying people to generate a bunch of yahoo answers questions / AI slop questions, and then fucked with the UI and made their site into a virtually unusable mess.
i'm getting reddit vibes, that makes sense. classic enshittification
Isn't it mostly bot-generated content?
How the hell would I know?
