r/news has the worst moderators on reddit by far. Like I seriously suspect they’re children.
Was banned for calling out atrocities by Israel. And this was long before October 7th. The way they responded in DM made them sound like I was arguing with a 14-year-old.
It’s a 1-week-old red pill incel account.
If you ever want to observe or engage (be ready for the pile-up) with these same folks, r/ShitPoliticsSays contains the exact same user-base of extremists. These are dyed-in-the-wool folks because they use this as a launching-point for brigading other subs comment threads. Lots of Canadian righties there, too. The only credit I’ll give is unlike r/conservative that they never censored so you could pretty much discuss and test argumentative points to your heart’s content.
Just read the thread covering this very article about T_D lol
Of course I still think a sizable chunk of these folks operate in discord channels and astroturfed Sanders subs (especially the 2020 election), ChapoTrapHouse, etc.
Imagine being them, subbed to a “Reddit” community on Lemmy, complaining about people who use reddit…
They’re not exactly deep thinkers.
I miss Aaron Swartz. Spez is so greedy and incompetent.
Also many of the mods on default subs, not all, are literal teenagers lacking a modicum of reason or maturity I swear. Not the brightest bulbs.
Right. Unless you’re a complete power-user whose entire life revolves around reddit, even the it’s a massive risk akin to saying, “I’m going to go start a successful YouTube channel!” (which would still be a better venture).
Of the three people involved in Reddit’s creation, he was the most useless and antithetical to reddit’s greater vision.
Swartz was a far better person.
After 10 years, approaching a million comment karma, and many sourced write-ups and copy pastas I got a fair amount. Probably 200 of a mixture of gold and the occasional platinum. This was concentrated in later years as I better understood reddit, and understood specific audiences more. I strove to give genuinely good information, too.
Unfortunately reddit’s admins are lazy, suck, and some subs’ moderators even worse (looking at r/news) and they screwed me. Their loss. I’ll find another platform to publish content, like here of course and elsewhere.
They completely ignored my appeal. 0 response. Later that wrongful suspension was used to justify a permanent suspension.
I loved Reddit, until executives took a nosedive and their admins screwed my account over with a blatantly false suspension.
Swartz would be appalled at what Huffman has done.
Honestly, this blows. WordPad fills a niche between a full blown text editor and notepad. Most of my random daily notes use WordPad still when not OneNote.
Oh that makes a lot of sense. With Alexis and Swartz gone, it left only the greedy imbecile in charge.
Yeah I don’t know how anyone could compel themselves to buy one. Do they really have that much of a monopoly on the industry? Is their tech that much further advanced? I genuinely don’t know.
What is the best, more ethical alternative? Growing up my dad had New Holland and we liked them. Eventually I’ll be going more rural and choosing a route to take and it sure as shit won’t be John Deere.
Because most are.
Now I know the new trendy thing is for gun lobbyists and right-wing operatives online to stoke the division by pitching guns to the left. I know the intent is to profit from a wider market while simultaneously muddying the waters of who is the most violent ideological group.
… And some ground is being made with this vector, but it’s still nowhere close to comparable.
Yeah it took them around 20 days for me.
I’m sure you’re right, but curious why it took so long to process my request? If it’s automated and easy, why isn’t it done immediately?
You could try emailing them at RedditDataRequests@reddit.com
If it was automated I don’t think it would be an arbitrary time within the 30 day window, would it? Unless it’s a low-priority task scheduled automatically for off-peak times.
11 year, here. I lurk for it to supplement my news until Lemmy ramps up. Otherwise, I’m done there. Not exactly by choice, but because I was wrongly permanently suspended and admins refuse to listen to an appeal. Their loss, for I made them money through gildings both given and received, informative content, and reporting of incivility, bigotry, and violence.
No idea. They hid behind anonymity of the ModTeam account.
Worldnews deteriorated as well.
Frankly all subs took a major dive following the controversial API change. A lot of seasoned mods with a moral backbone left and yes-men puppets replaced them.
