I found out today that they have removed r/all from the mobile platforms.
The one unifying feed... Heaven for it folk experience consensus media or have a shared experience.
By slicing it all up they can tweak individual algorithms to push more jank than ever. No longer do they have to game the system to get AstroTurfed Ads on the front page.
Actually, didn't they used to call themselves the "front page of the internet"? How does that work if no one sees the same page?
I think most people unsubscribe from r/all anyway and subscribe to subs related to their favorite hobbies and games and work related info. Most of my frontpage is for video games I'm currently playing, programs I'm currently using and odd fun subs like moviemistakes or maybemaybemaybe. I wish I could do that here.
And that's all cool... But it is weird to take that choice away from users.
Much like here, a quick browse of all introduces me to a wider world with different concerns. It's how I find stuff.
And I'm pretty sure what you do is possible here... What are you having a problem with?
I can't figure out how to unsub from the Lemmy version of r/all. So I'm getting latestagecapitalism, politics, politicalmemes, various communist instances. 80% of what's on my page is politics. I'm not interested in that.
there are still people on reddit? thats a bot hell
I don't know who this guy is, but the fact that he is crying on twitter about being shadow-banned on reddit tells me I don't really give a fuck about him, his opinion, or his perceived slights against him.
Niche communities don’t turn on a dime to a new platform. He’s on Twitter because his audience is on Twitter.
I care if reddit is dishonestly enforcing rules to force people to buy ads. That's good for us actually. If only we had more enlightened instances with more functionality.
Fuck reddit and all the admins that attempt to run it.
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
Dude needs to go play in traffic.
an ad spend
When you're off the used car lot, 'spend' is still only a verb, and the word you wanted here is maybe 'purchase' or 'deal'.
'The spend', 'the ask', and other cheese should stay back with the pre-owned Pontiacs.
pre-owned Pontiacs.

You mean a company that owns a platform is operating it only to make money? Shocking. You already were fooled once with the first reddit exodus. Now it is just shame on you for expecting things not to go this way.
What's a Reddit?
I think it's the name for one of those weird sex moves.
Fuck Reddit
Once I got banned like a thousand times within the span of 5 minutes because I reported a pro-Trump post as child abuse. I assume it really triggered some admin.
I wonder if this admin was named maxwellhill.
Sound more like you learned the hard way what "abusing the system" mean.
They found out the hard way that abuse is only tolerated if you have passed a certain wealth threshold.
Oh, no, I didn't give a shit, I burned through Reddit accounts like nobody's business. The fact that the admin was so triggered as to sit there, banning and unbanning me, just to spam me with notifications, was the greatest possible reward I could have ever asked for.
First thing I did on the new account was report the exact same post. Didn't get banned.
Quite odd behavior, this is not a moderator but an administrator on the site wide?
Yeah, moderators can't do sitewide bans, only Reddit administrators (employees) can do it.
Fuck you u/spez.
Wtf is organic posting.
It's a variation on a reddit as I understand it, an unusual sex move. Organic posting is where, well, you don't want to know.
Writing spam posts like "I'm really satisfied using this website, totallynotanad.com" or "try using Company XYZ, their service is really good"

So let me get this straight. Some jerk off looking to advertise his site by spamming links on several subs was hoping to AstroTurf COUGH I mean organically post... And Reddit Ad Team saw that and figured they could milk him for some dollars? So this doucher takes to Xhitter to try to get sympathy?
Ahh capitalism at its finest.
He might not be morally good, but what Reddit is doing here is illegal in many places.
