This post is Meta.

On a serious note, can we appreciate Meta’s marketing team for the timing of this announcement. They waited for Twitter to bleed to kick it in the shins.

No

Well, new Reddit might easily mean better but also diffderent Reddit. Also, I am not sure whether people actually call it a new Reddit. Most of the time I heard the destription was a Reddit alternative which by definition doesn’t imply that it’s identical or even better in all ways.

That is not overtime, it is during normal working hours.

This guy kinks

!RemindMe 7 days

Why would he not want to say the reason though? If that was the case, the OP could just say he is a shy pooper. Instead we now suspect that this is some kind of orgy with a fetish.

Guys we did it!

Brave for your to assume that people read the automod comments. I quickly learned to igbore it, it was a second nature for me to scroll past it.

Than again, I never had any serious troubles with my posts or comments being moderated. Perhaps I was just not being a jerk which seems to get you very far (not already if course as some Reddits were nazis about their silly rules).

I would say that some bots were useful. Like the one that would convert the units from “freedom” oned to ones that actually make sense (or the other way around).

Also, I like the bot that summarized the article.

Listen here you little shit…

Why so doom-and-gloom already? We just moved from Reddit and peope are excited about the possibilities that fediverse brings. Which are undeniably much broader when compared to Reddit.

Of course we don’t know what is going to happen in the future, but this model certainly has better chances of being run “by the people for the people”.

I don’t care that the admins of lemmy.world money make a business out of it. In fact I would be glad if they did.

Having said that they know perfectly well what happend to Reddit when the company wanted to become more authoritarian. And we are talking about people jumping ship from Reddit to fediverse which is way big of a deal than people jumping from one instance to another which, once you are versed and familiar with how fediverse works, is child play.

My point is that the only business to make with fediverse is the one that servers the users, that is, a “CEO” or a collective will have no option but deeply care what the users want and need to make some bucks. Otherwise this enterprise can collaps really quickly when people jump to another instance.

Anyone else from Reddit feeling weird seeing this exchange?

Yes, it’s a weird one. We got used to the fact that everything is pretty much free on the internet. Unfortunately, nothing is free, we either pay with out personal data, watching and interacting with ads or through subscriptions and paywals.

There is just no incentive for people to provide good content on the internet unless they have other means of sustaining themselves or they charge for it.

For instance, there is so much free stuff thanks to developers making their hard work open source. However, they are only able to do it because even if they are not getting payed for this, either they have a job that pays for other work they do or they have access to other means of financial support like family for instance. And I am not saying that much of open source (not all) is not essentially people giving away their hard work for free but I am saying that if the choice was to make some program for free and go hungry or charge for it and have a meal then we all know what it would look like.

Yes

I wanted to say Bender and I have to say Zapp Brannigan instead as well.

It’s this actually true though? I always had to add Reddit at the end of the search query as it always gave me some shit websites as sources otherwise.

If you are on the phone try using the apps. I am on Jerboa on Android I don’t have this issue.

Well, tell that to beehaw, apparently they were being flooded by trolls and Nazis…

But on the serious note, I totally agree, so far the discussions are so interesting and respectful, even if heated at times.
