No, user numbers are not down because of a Google change. User numbers are down because they went ban crazy during the election and Luigi stuff.
If you ban people who produce your content, your site quality & engagement declines. It’s not rocket science.
Btw, they’re definitely reversing some of these bans to try to pull people back. They permabanned two of my accounts for wrongthink during the election, and they’ve already reversed one with no prompting from me at all.
Why does his head look like that?
Its a side effect of a diet that is a little too heavy on the pineal glands, so, I was told.
As someone who has to check reddit once in a while, they’ve begun to completely hide the topic and replies of some threads. Luckily, old.reddit still works. I’m not going to log in to see shit that is public.
I wonder if the “google search benefit” also includes google down ranking lemmy instances
“Plunge”
-13% after hours on one day is huge. Many stock markets having emergency stops if the main index drops by 10% in a day.
It’s referring to that after-hours part.
Bros face looks like my cats anus while sliding a cookie out.
Jfc that thumbnail of Huffman’s face triggered me. How did he manage to make his face look MORE punchable??
With the power of ai they managed to create the most punchable face ever. So he only had to follow the blueprint laid out for him.
Reddit has said it is working to convince logged-out users to create accounts as logged-in users, which are more lucrative for its business.
By “convince,” they mean:
- Popup to automatically sign in with Google
- A button right under where you close that popup that shows a QR code to install the app
- Bottom bar on mobile telling you to make an account
- Clicking an upvote or downvote button instantly sending you to the account signup page, even if clicked by accident
- Full-screen popup only on mobile to download the app if you’re accessing anything NSFW (includes posts that simply have too much vulgar language, and are considered “NSFW” in that community, as well as any account page for an account that has ever made an NSFW post)
Yes, very convincing, heavily coercive even!
old.reddit still works… And it’s still a far superior experience to the shit they churned after.
So glad I got banned from that site (Not for anything wrong, I just pissed off the wrong power hungry mods which resulted in a site wide ban.)
Same here. The mods there are just power-hungry wankers.
Cant open any unverified communities, which is very arbitrary, any small community now requires the app
That’s part of the enshittification rug pull, they take over as the hub of forums for most of the internet and then gatekeep as a power play.
I love when I’m troubleshooting something, click on a record link from like 2018, and get a modal encouraging me to “join this trending conversation!”
Just deleted my account I’ve had for the past… six years.
Fuck spez
Fuck spez
[email protected] if you want to help promote Lemmy Piefed Mbin to new users!
I always thought he was a little piss baby but pigboy works too
Close, but that’s Texas Gov Abbott. Easy mistake, as they’re both giant pieces of shit.
Fuck spez
Fuccck spez
Reddit has benefited from Google search updates and internal site improvements that have helped it gain a significant amount of new and returning users, which the social company refers to as logged-out users, over the past year and a half. Reddit has said it is working to convince logged-out users to create accounts as logged-in users, which are more lucrative for its business.
Expect to see more login paywall bullshit from Reddit.
The best way to increase the usage base of a social media site is to block people from accessing it. Everybody knows that.
Lol. I was perma banned cause I said something mean about Trump.
I was “suspended” (by the admins, from the whole site – not just banned by mods from a particular subreddit) because I accurately reported misinformation in r/conservative and the snowflake mods whined that it was “report abuse.”
Once you understand how reddit admins are basically mods themselves it kind of makes sense. The company has hired lots of power mods over the years that don’t “respect the human”. And the forces that be want to continue profiting from volunteer mods’ free labor. It says a lot more about the individual reddit admins that they make the lazy decisions they do.
lol, I was making fake Gmail and Reddit accounts just to mess with people in r/Conservative lol…good times,.
I suggested Ukraine started attacking back at Russian civil infrastructure after Russia attacked a shopping mall.
Spez did not like that one bit, since he’s a Russia supporter.
Every ban is a potential new fedi enjoyer
I was also perma banned because I did the same during Trump’s 1st term talking shit about the spray tanned orange turd, as well as cursing too much.
I commented on a sub with an alt that I was banned from without knowing, it was public freakout on the front page, I went through all the stages of grief, left an abusive relationship that took all my time
Same, haha
I was permabanned because I made fun of anime on a non anime board and it was reported as “bullying and harassment “.
Fuck your Chinese cartoons.
There isn’t one damn thing that shit hole site could ever do to get me to log back in.
What if every time you logged back in Spez would get kicked in the balls?
They should make an app for that.
Fuck. You found one of my many weaknesses.
It’s too bad when one person on planet Earth has published a solution to a problem you have. And it’s some random commenter on Reddit from a few years ago. And under optimal conditions, the only thing to do would be to give a little thank you.
Vaat majority of time that account is deleted, banned, or inactive
What if they paid you in real life money?
Fuck no. They owe me a decade of back wages for moderating if we’re going that route lmao
How very “Landed Gentry” of you.
(I am assuming that whole debacle is how you got your username? Haha)
;)
I mean sure, I would do it if it paid well…and then donate all the money to awesome fediverse projects and communities!
It will be a cold day in hell before I make another Reddit account
They been putting them up for years now.
fedi4life
Give me more reasons to not visit!
Right now the only reason I have t ovisit is ‘wearing powered armor to a magic school’
It’s almost like communication platforms shouldn’t have profitability as their main goal… maybe they could be… distributed… like some sort of… federation. Yeah. That’s it. Then everyone would follow along like… lemmings or something
Reddit shares plunge after missing engagement numbers due to fall off following enshitification
Lol fake news would never admit that a company got punished for taking a dump on its user baze’s heads
In other news, Lemmy stock mooned infinity% from 0.00 to 0.00 plus beans.
Beans!
Holy hell how much plastic did Huffman invest to look like a dollar general bond villain.
Dollar General‽ Please. Don’t insult DG like that, dude looks no better than Dollar Tree grade
(For non-Americans, Dollar General is a “discount” store chain, largely found in “food deserts”. Dollar Tree is a bonafide dollar store where everything (was anyways) just a dollar. Yes, the quality is about as crap as you’d expect (though sometimes they did sell good stuff if they were able to acquire it cheap enough))
Fuck reddit
fuck a reddit two times
Three times!
mah man
