Spez said in an interview I saw a few minutes ago that they would not be forcing subs open. Do you mean to tell me Spez -- Steve Huffman, CEO of Reddit -- is a liar? Who woulda thunk it?

SkyNTP,

I've stated this before and I'll state it again, the API/third party app controversy is just a small chapter in a much larger story: Enshitification. A lot of us sought alternatives because of the protest, but we ultimately leave permanently because of enshitification and the compromise that happens to actively make the user experience worse because it is more profitable.

It takes time for both the user experience changes to happen and for users to experience the frustration needed to try something better. And that's okay.

One thing is clear: Reddit's appeal was from how it used to operate, not where it is headed. And it'll end up in the enshitification graveyard just like the rest of them do. Eventually. The only question is, are you going to change platforms early? Or late?

How do you feel about people upvoting their own posts?

I always thought it was a pretty smart idea on Reddit's side to have the posts and comments be automatically upvoted by their author, saving them the tough choice between playing fair or boosting their initial reach a little; and if you had particularly low self-esteem, this enabled you to reduce your own points by not one, but...

I always upvote myself. For me it is that if I can't support (and love) myself first, how others can do that after too? So since I enjoy what I post I always upvote and boost them. Hell yeah I don't care if people don't approve, I believe in myself and don't need to be approved from others. If the feature exists it should be used, otherwise just remove it or make it automatic hahaha

This just in from forbes.com:

"Investors are fed up. Fidelity, which led Reddit’s $700 million funding round in 2021 with a $10 billion valuation, has cut its Reddit company valuation by 41% since it invested. This could scupper Reddit’s plans to eventually go public with a reported valuation of $15 billion."

My biggest problem with kbin

The biggest problem with kbin is honestly quite simple, but I don't people is talking about is the fact that finding the magazines that I'm subscribed to is in Settings > Subscribed, on Reddit, it's literally in the top bar, I don't get why it's buried in settings. Another thing is why is my home page full of posts from...

If you go into settings you can set /sub to be your default. in the top right if you check the list icon you can see the subscribed/all options.

kbin just has weird defaults apparently.

Hehe, Ted Cruz had to learn this the hard way.

Hypothesis confirmed by experiment. Enjoy the boost.

So basically a boost acts like a "super-upvote" (in addition to acting like a share). Man, this is going to be interesting.
