"in order to simplify Reddit"
Corpospeech has evolved from euphemisms and marketing tricks to being completely divorced from reality hasn't it?
/r/all was the simplest thing ever, the best posts of all of Reddit. It was a normal button/link. It was Reddit itself, "the front page of the internet"
It's double speak.
People learned the power of words and now they are abusing them.
The American public with all their faults will nearly trust any written word. Anything besides what they've already been programmed to immediately be skeptical of they will readily accept into their reality like good little consumers.
it really is impressive
Redditors on old.reddit.com, or those with settings that default to the old Reddit experience, will continue to access r/all as expected.
I guess they are just ignoring old.reddit until they pull the plug on that completely
That will be the day I finally never return.
Old reddit is a lot more tolerable if you're using it with RES.
RES is fantastic. Couldn't imagine using Reddit without now.
At which point I will be off Reddit entirely
Same. I've already deleted my account. I use it to find info on niche stuff, if I cant find the info elsewhere.
Last I checked, old.reddit had about 2% of the users. So yeah, it'll be shut down whenever they get around to it, I'd imagine. Whenever they add something that breaks it, it'll be gone.
Yeah I think that's the thing, they haven't done anything to/with it. Once they do something that doesn't work on it, they'll go "oh deary me. Welp, better put it out of its misery" and shut it down.
Before I gave up on reddit completely, I was getting lots of 429 errors. Although asking around, some were, some weren't. Still not sure they weren't targeting me - apparently I hit their radar and they ban my accounts whenever they figure out it's me (I just want to mod in my local subreddit, I've slowly disengaged from everything else). heh
I gave up on it when I got suspended for the 4th time in half a year. I had been using it since 2009-10 or there abouts. Never had any issues. Then about 18 months ago I started to get 3 day suspensions for the most tame shit. I appealed all of them, every single one that was checked by a human was reverted. Then the last one I had, I appealed, didn't hear anything from them. So I waited the 3 day suspension run its course, sent a few messages I wanted to send and deleted my account.
Similar here except I went from a warning to a full ban the last two accounts. And for a little while there, when they banned one account, I got a half dozen bans on multis I'd created years ago for some stupid joke and hadn't used since I created them. heh.
They just really have decided they don't want the older users around, I guess.
same here, somehow they attribute your current bans that expired and they lifted as ban evasion, and then banned all counts that participated in a sub, they think you were banned it.
ALso its been reported they ban newly created accounts too, and old inactive accounts. i was on another forum how you need to go through a"ridiculous" process of warming up the account."
If they have some reason to not like older users that would make sense with my experience. I had like 100,000 comment karma over the last ~13 years. Last month I posted something like "the only way he (trump) is leaving is if 100,000 people drag him out" and got immediately sitewide banned with no warning, appeal denied. That was about the harshest thing I ever posted, 99.99% of my comments and posts were neutral or positive.
They target me for violations that are not violations, used to be I could get 3 months out of an account before a second violation, my last new one I got a violation within the first week for something that wasn't even close. This is like the us administration pressuring them. Betcha.
i think people are unaware of the old reddit interface, they just went with the doomscrolling UI like with facebook, instagram,,,etc.
That'll be my final day on Reddit. I already spend most of my time here.
It would have been the 3rd party app thing, but I exclusively use Reddit on my desktop at work. I got better things to do on weekends.
I can't believe they didn't nuke old . reddit yet. I left when they killed the API that killed off all the 3rd party apps. Deleted my account and never looked back. Fuck reddit, fuck Spez, fuck the greedy corpo that its become.
I'm entirely capable of circumventing Reddit bans and I'm probably on my 50th+ account by now. I spend most of my time here, but I still have a Reddit account for various reasons. If they finally nuke old.reddit I will at long last peace out for good and never look back. Every time I log in I expect it'll be gone. Reddit excels at making awful decisions regarding their platform.
I give old . reddit a year or two before they remove it.
It is very much unmaintained, I assume they will just let it break since only like 5 people use it still
simplify Reddit and improve Home feed personalization
AKA collect more data for advertisers.
It's to funnel users into propaganda bubbles and voids, making it harder for them to see alternate content and viewpoints. It's been pretty obvious with how aggressively they remove and discipline antifascist politics.
Also makes it easier to serve them personalised higher value ads.
This is the censorship - you can only see posts from subs they white list, or subs you already know about.
it's also for the purpose of targeting ads. Even if you don't have a reddit account the home page is still going to tailor the feed to subreddits you've visited in the past or your geo-location for example. this makes it easier for advertising.
When they removed all is when I signed up on lemmy
Welcome new friend
And I removed all my posts from that platform and replaced them with random garbage. Fair trade
I read this as they learned it was far too difficult to moderate /all and that the easier thing corporate wise was just remove it.
Capitalizing it still works, r/All
Amateurs don't even use .toLower()
I'm on old reddit and I didn't know there was a difference between /r/all and /r/popular? Theres the subs you are subscribed to and then there is the trash main page. What is a home feed? Is that the front page with your subscriptions?
Popular is supposed to be the highest activity subreddits. If you keep scrolling you'll only see older posts from the same set of subreddits. r/all is all the subreddits sorted by popularity, if you keep scrolling you see lower and lower upvote counts.
Your home feed is your subscribed subreddits.
Lemmy could use an /c/all community default. It’s a catchall for things that don’t have a dedicated community yet. It helps create posts and discussions.
Shame for the funky and weird subreddits that utilized /all to collect data and make interesting projects.
Their admins could stop being nazi sympathizers too, but that's a pipe dream.
Wasn't r/all just Reddit's "Ragebait Algorithm Central Hub"?
I get that Fuck Spez and whatnot here... But this doesn't seem terrible?
Not in my experience, but then again, I left a couple years ago so maybe they changed it when I wasn't there.
thank god the threadiverse exists
