Valve quietly not publishing games that contain AI generated content if the submitters can't prove they own the rights to the assets the AI was trained on
I see a lot of posts about how they uploaded anti-spez stuff onto reddit, or participated in the nsfw spams/john oliver spams. While I get wanting to let it all out, this ultimately keeps up engagement on reddit rather than bringing it down....
The only thing we ever need to do on reddit is encourage migration to further drive down traffic: Dm mods of your fave subs and ask about migration, something as simple as "Hey, I love this community but I no longer use reddit, will you guys be making a community on Kbin or other alternatives? Let me know please, thanks." will work!! We need more voices encouraging migration!
Apologies if this is a basic question, but I am curious to know what I am missing out on by not having access to private torrents? I have been able to find everything I wanted using public ones.
I'm not overly keen on the 15 seconds micro-content that sites like TikTok and YouTube (shorts) are pulling. It creates the most densely packed, quickly paced content I've seen and it feels like people are now addicted to quick bursts of info.
It feels like that type of content is doing to reduce people's already awful attention span, I've already had mates who can't read threads, articles and comments because it's too slow, terrible
After weeks of burning through users’ goodwill, Reddit is facing a moderator strike and an exodus of its most important users. It’s the latest example of a social media site making a critical mistake: users aren’t there for the services, they’re there for the community. Building barriers to access...
I really liked the article that I hadn't read before on Enshittification by Cory Doctorow from January linked from the EFF article, which really well captures the inevitability of what's happening to Reddit (and the value of the Fediverse):
This is enshittification: surpluses are first directed to users; then, once they're locked in, surpluses go to suppliers; then once they're locked in, the surplus is handed to shareholders and the platform becomes a useless pile of shit.
Lol. Nice try. Nothing like insulting people with no knowledge of their life or what they meant to build a good community!
I've been in this field for 6 years. Lots of UI, web, and backend work, so I know what the hell I'm doing. Sure, it takes a lot of money to build something that a lot of users like, and that takes time and input, but with the whole "Reddit replacement" push, I would hope it would have some kind of parity.
I just meant that I'm a software engineer, so I've seen a whole lot of different UI layouts and navigation styles and can figure it out because it can't be too different from anything I've used.
Honestly, Reddit lost it's charm over a decade ago. I once was at Digg, then Reddit, now Kbin. I'm done with Reddit and we should all let it die and build new communities here.
Hear me out, I know no one likes ads, probably one of the main reasons why people used 3rd party apps for reddit. I can't exactly donate to help kbin, however if there was a setting I could toggle to opt in viewing ads to support kbin and things like server costs, I'd do it, in hopes for improvement of the website....
Ads only put pressure on sites to conform to their standards and wants. Even Google has felt the impact of coordinated advertising backlash, like with YouTube's Adpocalypse.
That said I absolutely agree we should support the site in any way we can, which is also why I'll put the link here so you can donate to @ernest for maintaining the site. Servers aren't cheap!
This is just sort of a stream of thought from somebody who has been glued to my screen tracking the drama from the past week or so., and also watched the digg exodus happen (although I never used digg, just watched it from reddit's perspective)...

A lot subreddits end their blackout tomorrow. Will you go back to Reddit, or continue with kbin and the Fediverse?
I haven't used Reddit at all since the blackout began. Even if they change course, the Fediverse is growing on me, and I think I'll stay here....

Contrary to some of the discourse on rexxit, I don't think the goal should be a "reddit killer" - just to breath life into this corner of the fediverse
