I still have it installed and even though it doesn’t and will never work, I still like to open it, and have it once again try to retrieve posts only to return “forbidden”. I do it for old time’s sake, like a digital pouring one out for RIF and the Reddit I used to know.
I still have to google search reddit when I’m looking for specific info like opinions on games. Unfortunately lemmy’s not reasonable to search, and Reddit has a much bigger userbase with a longer time to accumulate info about most topics.
The comments are just so much worse than the top posts. It is akin to Twitter after Musk pushed the main active user base away in exchange for a Faustian deal with right wingnuts. That or Reddit was truly duplicitous in their messaging and are perfectly fine taking money from propaganda organizations running in other countries which can pay the API fees to push narratives still. Not that they’d want that before an IPO or anything…
That’s not accurate. The article is about Australia. Netflix Australia had a net loss of 200K subscribers specifically due to the anti-consumer moves they’ve made which affects a lot more than just sharing a password with a family member. That’s a 3% decline in a major country. Meanwhile, Netflix rivals had subscriptions increase overall and several saw huge surges. Netflix remains #1 by total subscribers in Australia, but that shouldn’t shock anyone given the inherit momentum they possess.
The article was never about Netflix globally. It was always about Australia. Companies operate business units in regions, and each region must perform.
It’s difficult for me to give any less of a shit about Reddit. I’m perfectly happy with Lemmy.
We are so irrelevant that cryptoscam bots don’t target us 🎉
Mac users know that feel
There are Dozens of us!
"You’re a fat little girl, aren’t you Mac?
“Nooooo”
“SAY IT!”
“I’m a fat little girl”
Nah we just have regular old crypto shill people instead
Cryptoscam bots don’t target us yet!
Course it doesn’t stop the CSAM spammers ☹️
It’s been a hard habit to break after 15 years, but I’m getting there.
Luckily for me reddit made it easy by killing 3rd party apps and I only ever browsed it with RiF.
Same, when the app I used stopped working, I tried the reddit default one and bailed out after like 5 minutes of using that ad riddled shitpile
RIP Apollo.
Same haven’t been back since I joined lemmy in June.
You’ll turn into a pile of salty salt if you look back. Don’t do it 😀
Lol oh I understand that reference and agree I will keep looking forward. But never did get around to deleting my account.

They have yet to kill old, but I assume it’s coming, and there’s no way I’m tolerating the new interfaces.

Same here
Reddit just that niche 3 sentences of extremely specific scenarios I need
The best way I’ve found to search lemmy and kbin is using trystract.com with the discussions optic.
I mean… I like seeing that it’s clearly going way down hill and fast.
Went to reddit to see what the top posts were. Not much has changed.
“I kicked a puppy. AITA?”
“Gang of teens beat up an elderly homeless guy. Not ragebait.”
“What are your favorite dating tips? Help me write my fluff article.”
you forgot “Men have it so much harder than women and here’s an entire fucking essay on why you bitches!!”

So the same shit as here, except for the “look at how bad Reddit is now” posts?
99% of lemmy posts are reposts from reddit.
There is currently a top voted Lemmy post that says “netflix lost 200k users, crackdown backfired”. It is a repost that was on reddit yesterday.
Netflix gained 5.9 million users in the same period. Lemmy users are just as woke as redditors.

I always enjoy a bit of schadenfreude in the morning.
Agreed. Fuck Reddit
The API kerfuffle finally gave us the critical mass ofbusers to make it viable, and it’s only uphill from here
