Yes, I post anime tiddies. What the fuck’s wrong with you?
Sketchy guy tells a one-sided story about how he got banned multiple times on Reddit.
Everyone in the comments showering him with love, trashing Reddit, and completely ignoring the huge red flag that there must be some fucking reason why that guy got banned multiple times.
Welcome to !reddit@lemmy.world.
The issue is that most people aren’t aware that their data is being sold, or they just don’t care at all. And by 2023, most people on Reddit were using the official app, not 3rd party apps (according to the subreddit stats of the subreddits I used to moderate). So for most people, the 2023 API change wouldn’t have affected them at all. It only would’ve affected older users and some moderators.
What can reddit do in order to create an outrage big enough to make people leave or to boycott the platform?
It would have to be a disruption that would affect:
Not only do you need to do all 3, you need to do it simultaneously in order for the users to rebel. So Reddit nowadays have chosen to implement negative changes in smaller parts. AKA boiling the frog alive.
First step is to make sharing posts easier by integrating something like https://threadiverse.link/.
If I wanted to share your post with my friends, I’d send them the following link: https://piefed.ca/c/asklemmy/p/461864/what-should-we-be-doing-individually-to-increase-lemmy-s-userbase.
If my friends were also on Piedfed.ca, then all’s fine. But if they’re on a different instance and want to comment and/or vote on your post, then they’re fucked. They would have to go on their home instance, look for !asklemmy@lemmy.world, and then search for your post.
I say friend, but this applies to literally everyone here except those who are already on Piefed.ca.
The Fediverse could improve how things are shared. If I wanted to share your post with a friend, I’ll give them this link: https://piefed.ca/c/asklemmy/p/424338/what-do-you-feel-the-fediverse-could-improve-on.
If they’re also on the same instance as me (Piefed.ca), then all’s good. But God forbid they’re on another instance and they want to comment or vote on your post. They would have to go back to their own instance, find this community, and then search for this specific post.
And I know some of you guys are itching to tell me about using a browser extension/script or another front-end to fix this, but this should be officially integrated with every front-end. I don’t understand why there still hasn’t been any integration with something like Threadiverse.
How can a social media grow if you can’t even share posts properly?
Jumping between Boost and Summit.
Speaking of this, are there any PieFed users who have tried uploading images as a post through an app? Have you noticed that doing so counts toward your 50 MB upload quota, while uploading images on desktop does not count toward the quota?
It’s not the only difference. Here’s the list of differences from the devs. It’s just that for me, I like the UI better. But there are other reasons, including political reasons, why some people migrated to Piefed.
But once again, the beauty of the Fediverse allows you to choose. :) I think the biggest thing that should concern you is whether your instance frequently defederates from others, or if others defederate from your instance.
I used to be on Lemmy, but I prefer PieFed’s UI better. You can also set scheduled threads, which is pretty nice if you post things frequently. But whichever you choose, Lemmy and Piefed can interact with one another. And that’s the beauty of the Fediverse.
