Reddit activated a word filter that whenever you say "fuck spez", your comment won't show up for anyone else. I just tested it on ModCoord. they're also deleting spez memes from the subs they nuked lol

r/ModCoord: The admins in charge of demodded subreddits are mass-removing images of Huffman previously shared on them...

It's down to 300.000 for me. Google can't index Reddit that fast, can it?

Do you have safe search disabled?

It's one thing to hear about this manipulation and another to experience it though. The moment reddit restored my comments multiple times I knew how fucked Reddit really was/is.

I deleted my comments and edited them but they keep coming back. I have notified the authorities in my country. No idea if anything will come of it though.

Also is it just me or does clicking on the thumbnail do the same as clicking on the heading? Is this intended? I think it would be better UX if clicking the thumbnail would take you directly to the link/image.

It's extremely slow if played poorly due to how damage over time works in Diablo 4. Mobs were constantly running out of my Firewall, I made lots of snapshotting mistakes, etc.

As an Ice Shards Sorc I just teleport into a group of enemies, pop my frost nova, cast barrier and ice shards and everything is dead in a second.

There have been improvements to the game, like a PvP mode that does not rely on P2W, but the game as a whole is just your typical predatory mobile cashgrab. If you have played these types of games before without spending anything, then by all means, try it out. If you however are the type of person that gets annoyed by the progression walls these games put into place to make you spend money, don't bother because there are a lot of them in this game.

I was also really unhappy with it. Then I tried kbin.social. It's not a lemmy instance, but also uses the fediverse so you can still see and interact with posts from other lemmy instances.

Isn't this exactly what Digg tried to do before everyone moved over to Reddit?

Try kbin.social. As far as I know they are the only server that has a Frontpage that updates regularly.

I mainly tried lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, beehaw.org and a few others. I did try them with and without "all" and it was cumbersome regardless. Either I was served posts with zero or negative upvotes that to me do not classify as "hot" or my feed did not update at all.

What's weird to me is that kbin.social was the only one I tried that was not affect by any of this strangeness.

Very interesting. So the they only thing that is the same across the servers is the posts and comments themselves? Everything else is in the hands of the developer of the website?

Yeah Lemmy instances. I thought kbin is also a Lemmy instances. Thanks for clearing up my confusion.

It's pretty simple. Most people won't do anything unless it directly impacts them.

This has been true time and time again throughout history as well. People only revolt or start an uprising when things get so bad that it directly influences them. Even then most won't do anything unless they aren't able to ignore it anymore.

Den Usern drohen is immer ein guter Schachzug. Hat man ja damals bei Digg gesehen.

Immer weiter so Steve, so schaffst du es Reddit den Bach runter gehen zu lassen!

Imho it's boring because "active" is the default and works differently from reddit. It shows you active posts, as in posts that have a lot of new comments. This leads to some posts being on the front page for days.

The filter "hot" is supposed to be like reddit, but is currently broken on a lot of instances.

For the best experience I strongly recommend kbin.social since they have a working "hot" as their default giving you the most reddit-like experience out of all the instances I've tried.
