The notifications are redirecting even Old Reddit users to WWW… not a good sign…
I don’t have an active account anymore (mine got banned because I called someone a fascist sanewasher and any new account I try to make gets immediately banned), but I still browse Reddit specifically because there are several subreddits for my local area (my county, my suburb, and the big city nearby) which are pretty active. I get a lot of local information from there which really isn’t available in such a concise way anywhere else.
mined just ended up like this, was purged in FEB, 5+accounts with anwhere to 1-11years of history), recently was shadowbanned as soon as my comment was removed by a MOD, i suspect a mod personally removing a comment has more weight in getting you shadowbanned than an automod would. i am appealing to see whats thier response, eventough its unlikely. apparently from the shadowban sub, they do apply a shadowban and it does have a time limit(depends on your “violation” and someone said when they lifted thier ban, they were rebanned, because admins said the oriignal ban dint expire yet, or some bs they came up with.
Porn?
better to go to a non-PH and its affiliate porn sites if people wanted that. almost half of its promoting OF accounts, and even OF videos end up on these non-PH sites anyways, if people wanted the good stuff rather than paying for OF.
I’ll bite I guess. I use Firefox with ublock to browse two niche communities. One is for the small city I live in which is relatively active and a very useful source of local news/events info. I’ll stop using reddit if I can’t use an ad blocker or if they make me use an app etc.
Waterfox (water beats fire), AdNauseam (uBO fork that also clicks ads to mess up their tracking data), and NoScript (selective JavaScript-disabling per site) here!
Because I don’t want to make another account just for an AutoHotkey discussion board, but /c/AutoHotkey is dead while /r/AutoHotkey is very much alive. The same can be said for so many other subs. Why else would one stay there?
That’ll lose them some users, but they’ll truly seppuku themselves when they inevitably drop the porn.
All Reddit users should consider seppuku

Take a screenshot of your username/account with your karma and account age; then delete it.
Oh yeah, I forgot that that’s been going on in legislature… Hmm…
I deleted my account a long time ago but still visit on old.reddit. When they get rid of support for old.reddit I will finally just no longer visit because the modern formatting is completely non-navigable
Ahh yes, reddit. Now that’s a site I haven’t thought about in a long time.
It’s a sinking ship
And the leadership is vigorously poking holes in the bottom.
well, I guess I am well and truly done with visiting reddit even occasionally
The only time I’m there is when I search for something and the answer happens to be a Reddit post/comment. I hope this will happen less and less often, but there is genuinely a good decade of knowledge in there. It’s not rare that a 7 years old Reddit comment solves my issue.

It will be soon, and I agree but I think we will all be shocked how quickly the fediverse grows lots of niche communities. I don’t think the numbers will grow as fast as the amount of niche content either, because I think this will be a product of highly motivated people who come here specifically to recreate those niche communities and contributing to fleshing them out far more than a similar sized community would be on a corporate social network.
How and why the fuck is anyone still there
Because there’s a lot relevant forum content that’s been absorbed by reddit over the years and lemmy isn’t there.
Lemmy isn’t as easy to Navigate for those used to the Reddit app.
People use the Reddit app? That thing has always been really bad.
nope, the only users for that app is people who has OF/ and advertising thier links account, from another site they are doing it because the app apparently, they are less likely to look intoy our account for suspicious activity if you multitudes of accounts rather than a PC browser.(of course they use proxies and anti-detection browsers too.
With Jerboa, you can pretty much get pretty close to Baconreader.
Content.
“A dumpster fire, you say? I know what will help calm things down. Gasoline!”
Sounds very likely indeed
