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.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

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



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

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.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

You would hope the corporate collaborators of this fascist regime will one day get their comeuppance. Sadly, if the history of corporate collaborators in Nazi Germany is anything to go by, most likely not much will happen to them or their officers...

[–] DaMummy@hilariouschaos.com 22 points 3 weeks ago

Don't worry, they'll be punished, and you'll never hear from them again. For example, have you ever heard of Hugo Boss, Volkswagen, Adidas, Coca-Cola, Ford, Fanta, BMW, Siemens, Bayer, or IBM?

[–] amino@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 3 weeks ago

the reason they got away is because the Germans expected the cops to handle the nazi cops. when a more hands on solution would've been more expedient

Get ready for the next reddit exodus. Honestly I can't wait.

[–] hellure@lemmy.org 15 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Just installed Blorp and created this account.

Been meaning too, but my 3rd party app just became useless because of their API BS, so there's that too.

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I never even heard of Blorp.

That's what makes this piece of the internet so cool.

[–] hellure@lemmy.org 5 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

I really liked the name.

It's missing a bunch of basic stuff though, ATM.

Doesn't even have a file access permission option to save pictures, but it appears to save when you click Download. Just does nothing. Have to click Share and 'save with a file app' or 'copy to folder' or whatever instead 

A few missing features aside, it does work.

[–] moseschrute@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Blorp dev here. Are you using Blorp on web, iOS, or Android? I would love to sort out the saving image issue.

Welcome to the Fediverse

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

They still have 3rd party Reddit apps? And they fucked them on API use again? lol

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 3 weeks ago

They didn't officially, apart from RedReader for accessibility reasons. But you could unofficially use some of the old apps with some minor hacks I think. Maybe they clamped down on it again.

[–] LordMayor@piefed.social 5 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

Reddit is the new FaceBook. People won’t leave so much as younger people will use the next thing.

Facebook is still around in a somewhat diminished form. I expect Reddit will persist, too.

Fuck you spez.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 weeks ago (7 children)

In about 10 years we will be reading articles like "Do you remember Reddit, Meta and Google?". This shit can only go on for so long before other alternatives present themselves.

[–] drcabbage@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I wouldn't count on that. People are too lazy to change.

Amazon, Microsoft and Google run so much cloud infrastructure that it's not in the power of ordinary peasants like us to even make a dent in their business. When we use pretty much anything online we're helping support them. And US corporations have little incentive to leave those services because the end users don't even know what they use for their backends. Foreign governments and companies are the main organizations that have the power to make an impact on big US tech by taking their cloud business elsewhere.

Then I'm glad that Reddit permabanned me in the post-Inauguration bloodbath, before ICE spun up and I would have been calling for justice.

BUT, I also had a 12 year account with a million Karma, so I have plenty of juicy anti-MAGA and anti-Trump (I called him HitlerPig for a long time) posts for them to prosecute me for.

So it looks like being a government slave in the work camps is my retirement plan.

Oh, they're not going to like me at all.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I'm not making it to the slave camps, and me, my crossbows, and my knives are taking as many of them with me as I can

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I like your thinking. Also slingshots and ball bearings. One of those to the face will slow you down. David and Goliath time.

And don't forget your videogame lessons. Pick up any loot your victims drop. Lots of good guns, ammo, and body armor.

Stay in the shadows, brother.

On one hand, I'm so glad to be British and not living under Trump's jurisdiction.

But on the other hand, I don't think I'm gonna be visiting the USA anytime soon, unless I feel like being detained by ICE or turned away at the border for being critical of the orange man and the Gestapo he's empowered.

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

Canadian here. One of my girlfriends lives in Ohio.

She comes to visit us. Not the other way around. Even if this administration burns to the ground, it's going to take a long time to renew my trust in America to ever step foot in that country again. I used to travel there. I used to deliver there as a truck driver. I spent a lot of time in America.

Not anymore. I'm in my late 30s and I may never visit America ever again after this.

Might be a naive question but what prevents instance admins here on Lemmy to also give this information?

[–] kuhli@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Nothing, though instances outside the US would have less reason to.

Only benefit is that it's fragmented so there's fewer people any individual instance can give information on.

[–] kutt@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh yeah that’s true, and also that’s why we should move away from lemmy.world. It’s great to welcome newcomers but it shouldn’t be where most users are.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago

.world is hosted in Finland, so theoretically they wouldn't have to cooperate, but they're pretty squeamish about standing up to corpos so I wouldn't count on it.

[–] epyon22@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Nothing. There also nothing to prevent instances to be ran by anyone. Lemmy is about sharing information with low regulation not privacy.

But not Lemmy right... right?

lol Fuck ICE, they will get what's coming once midterms happen. Especially those that have hurt or murdered people.

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I wanna say lemmy is to small for them to care right now. They got enough to monitor with those 3 alone. Definitely one day though.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

They're here, they're just on shifts and are approximately 7-30 accounts, depending on time. Hopefully, it stays around that.

[–] QuantumTickler@reddthat.com -1 points 6 days ago

And what accounts are those?! lol

[–] ptu@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

All votes and comments are publicly accessible, something worth keeping in mind when sharing here.

[–] zd9@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

lol yeah I know. I don't post anything I wouldn't want read in a court

[–] Shirasho@lemmings.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (6 children)

Nothing is going to happen to them come midterms. I'll only believe something good can happen in this country after it happens.

Im so surprised that the most powerful big tech companies are not there to do the right thing.

Das war bei uns genauso, absolut nicht überraschend. Viel Glück weiterhin.

[–] CaptR@lemmy.wtf 4 points 3 weeks ago

Well that is pretty much the reason I moved here.
