Reddit

And when one account get banned, i login to my other account to get banned for "trying to evade" a ban

Minecraft, a game owned by software giant Microsoft, has decided to no longer post official updates on reddit. Emphasis mine.

As you have no doubt heard by now, Reddit management introduced changes recently that have led to rule and moderation changes across many subreddits. Because of these changes, we no longer feel that Reddit is an appropriate place to post official content or refer our players to.

We want to thank you for all the feedback and discussion you've participated in in past changelog threads. You are of course welcome to post unofficial update threads going forward, and if you want to reach the team with feedback about the game, please visit our feedback site at feedback.minecraft.net or contact us on one of our official social media channels.

Kind of feels like it is pretty huge to have a subsidiary of a major corporation admitting they don't feel like officially participating in a subreddit is a safe thing to do in respect to their branding anymore.

I also find it quite funny that Microsoft feels the need to give us permission to still post "unofficial update threads." We're welcome to, so they say. Ha. Isn't that what people were doing on reddit before they showed up?

Reddit is restoring (mass) deleted posts and comments

It is so frustrating seeing how people received the protest.

"it's not working" "Reddit doesn't care" "they can do whatever they want".

Well yeah, if that's the attitude!

How do people not see that the protest disrupted the entirity of Reddit? Just about every weekly active user felt it.

How do they not understand the impact on revenue (especially ads), and how Reddit cannot feasibly sustain it, and were banking on the idea that it'll eventually die down?

The fact of the matter is, if Reddit became worried that the protest will continue in strength indefinitely, they would be forced to roll back. The loss impact would greatly outweigh whatever measly profits they make from this API change that no one will buy.

Yes, this was a lot more for Reddit than just profits. If Reddit had backed down, it would have impact much greater than just third party apps. It remind people once again that users hold the power when they're United. They can decide how to run their communities. But Reddit just could not afford this to happen, which is why they fought to convince you that the protest isn't working and you should back down. And unfortunately many of us did...

To each their own, but I find this decision really misguided.

It's her money, not mine, so whatever, but l do not expect her to turn a profit in, rather the opposite.

In my view, the cross section of "IfR" users and people willing to subscribe monthly is rather small (especially if the money mostly goes to reddit - assuming I could afford it, I, for instance, would rather fund an open system like Lemmy).

And if Apollo's dev Christian Selig decided that it wasn't worth it with an already established paying user base, who already has a strong culture of subscriptions and exaggerated pricings, and one of the highest volume of users, at what probably was the peak usage of the platform; I don't see how a small app like IfR can survive.

That, or Christian made a pretty expensive mistake...

What in the promoted post?

What do you guys think?

I used the Power Delete Suite fork by pkolyvas and it worked and my comments were redacted/deleted correctly for over a week.

Today I checked my account and sorted my comments by "Top" and to my surprise I see that many of my top rated comments have been forcibly brought back by Reddit. The curious thing is that it's only top comments on technical subs like r/MachineLearning that were restored, they must have realized that being in the Google search results for technical questions is critical for them.

Is it because they detect "bot activity" and they simply revert it? Has anyone had success with doing that manually or semi-manually?

Thanks!

I am making a YouTube Poop of WWDC. I put the Apollo icon on the bubble in the beginning intro, the Lemmy logo on the bubble that the guy jumps onto, and the Reddit logo appearing and blowing up twice.

I want to make it public at the exact time that Apollo dies.

We all know their true colors. They have the aggression of your typical Reddit mods^TM^, who are power-tripping and permabanning users on steroids. Mods are users on steroids, so admins are on steroids' steroids. Admins are the niceguy^TM^ version of Reddit mods^TM^. Enough fooling around; you see how abusive someone in power can be? Don't even be fooled by their kind attitude. They won't hesitate to show you their true colors.

If you have it installed on iPhone, thats fair, i have it, to promote lemmy, but please just turn "allow tracking" of in settings, so they cant make money from the data thet collect, also background refresh, because I'm pretty sure that also allows them to get a bit of data from you

Having worked at a company that had a massive influx of GDPR requests we weren’t prepared for, this one could actually cause them some trouble if Reddit don’t have that process properly automated.

I am not advocating for ban evasion.

Reddit has implemented a powerful ban evasion filter that catches ban evaders who use alternate accounts to post on a subreddit they were banned from. Though, the same cannot be said for sitewide suspensions. While simply using a fingerprinting-blocking browser that deletes cookies every time you close the browser, you can circumvent a sitewide suspension, but evading a subreddit ban seems impossible.

So why does Reddit prevent circumventing a subreddit ban while they are okay with sitewide suspension evasions? Don't get me wrong, I respect Reddit for not being too punishing to its users, but it still feels weird that they gave moderators so much power while administrators don't use it at all. Mind explaining their choices?

Again, I am not advocating for ban evasion, and please do not circumvent a ban.
