Well, apparently I'm banned on #Reddit site-wide. When someone appears to be a threat to themself, I report it. How dare I use their report system in the manner intended? Banning someone for that sends the wrong message.

I've been doxxed, harassed, threatened, and even reported a terroristic threat in the past, yet the admins refuse to consider the mere possiiblity of good faith despite a decade on the site with no issues. And naturally they won't give anything other than a canned response.

I only ever really participated in was the Rust subreddit, but not being able to is a negative for everyone. The subreddit I moderated already has obvious rule violations (including further harassment directed towards me) that can't be addressed by anyone, as I was the sole moderator. Good job #Reddit.

#reddit have accidentally broken third party access (separately from the deliberate breakage), seemingly by adding user-agent based filtering

Only seems to be on certain paths, #boost can still list my DMs but can't list posts

Gli algoritmi di intelligenza artificiale non sono nulla senza le enormi basi di dati usate per addestrarli.
Ecco perchè, qualche sviluppatorer di si sia spinto a offrire a ben 60 milioni di dollari all'anno per accedere ai post degli utenti, e anche perché ora si stia per appropriare dei contenuti pubblicati dai propri iscritti.

Dal prossimo 26 Giugno, tutti contenuti pubblici potranno essere adoperati per l'addestramento delle IA di Meta.

Enjoying this thread where they pontificate about how online video needs competition, but it costs too much to do it.

I've been running tilvids.com for almost four years now on mostly community donations. The problem isn't the cost, it's the fact that every creator thinks they're the next Mr. Beast and just one video away from being a millionaire, and viewers are complacent.

We could all easily collectively decide to change this at any time.

mamus,

@tilvids sounds like there should be donation buttons below videos

@mamus Some PeerTube creators do have a donate button! That said, the donate button doesn't directly donate, it takes you to the page of their choice, so not necessarily frictionless.

Pre-warning to my followers: I'm going to leave for good and I'm blogging about the reasons - mostly because reddit management gone crazy (latest: my isn't working any more for reddit) & also because of https://karl-voit.at/2020/10/23/avoid-web-forums/

If you did not already, organize yourself a decent / aggregator and follow good content from there. My blog has also feeds to follow: https://karl-voit.at/how-to-use-this-blog/

I presume you could use Mastodon as a feed aggregator as well: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=mastodon+as+rss+aggregator&ia=web

REPLACEMENT

I asked this a while ago but I wanted to ask again since I'm on a new server :

Long time Reddit user but I'm tired of their bullish!t and want to move on like I moved on from the bird site... or now I guess it's the swastica site.

What is everyone using to replace Reddit in their lives?

@kbsez I can't help, I'm afraid,.I could never get to grips with Reddit.sorry.

Good luck finding something though.

A couple of the groups I followed on Reddit moved to various Lemmy servers & some kbin

Some are in a.gup.pe group accounts https://a.gup.pe/

You might want to search on Mastodon for like the title or keyword of reddit forum & look under profiles to see if anything pops up that might interest you with Lemmy, kbin or a.gup.pe domains & then visit the original profile or follow and take a chance

People have strong opinions about Lemmy, just so you know, even ML unrelated instances

Tiens, j'ai reçu un email de informant qu'ils rétablissent les "awards".

Pour qui ne connaît pas, c'est un peu comme des "reaction emojis" à des messages, mais payants, et illustrant généralement un accomplissement qu'une réaction. Je me suis parfois demandé pourquoi le "nouveau Reddit" avait décidé de les supprimer il y a un an. C'est de l'argent facile pour eux pourtant.

Oh, et les redditors peuvent maintenant être monétisés. Je ne sais pas trop quoi penser de ça en revanche.

I only lurk on without an account - anybody want to tell this person the right address to contact? It's actually MassDOT, so they need to email MassDOTMaffaMystic@dot.state.ma.us as this traffic change was part of the Mystic /Maffa bridge project.

@inliuofjoan the 311 should generally be able to figure that out, and I think e-mailing the mayor should be the next option if a city's 311 system doesn't work right. Governors and state DOTs are of course a whole other level of buck-passing that shouldn't be necessary or tolerated, IMO. As for turning left with a car, well, I hope the reply is don't.

I came across this family drama from one of those narration YouTube videos and reading all of the original posts spanning several months was pretty bonkers! I don’t care if the story was an exercise in creative fiction or actually real because I was totally entertained. 😅

@seav many years back, when blogs were a thing, there was one called IIRC 'the blog of a fat woman'. Her was a middle-low class family, composed of her, his husband, one young adult child and two adolescent children. The YA knew about computers and set her up a blog, an she wrote about her and her family. The blog started to become known, and got quite a following. She interacted with the commenters a lot (when comments where still mostly civil).
