Once upon a time, reddit was an open-source platform. Never again it has the same face when it decided to close the sources, then the UI changes, then the ads, then the API charges. All of those are for the profits of them, not of users’.
They don’t even try hiding it, they are blatant and egregious about it. They are gonna just eng up chasing all their users away.
The beautiful thing is their valuation probably also went down
they’ll be lucky yo sell before their IPO.
3rd party (so unreliable) numbers suggest they lost around 6% user engagement. I woukd guess that serving adds to all the people that switched from 3rd party to official apps probably made up for it in the short term.
As always everything gets destroyed by greed.
I just enjoy a new beginning
This is a very sad meme. Every time I see it, it makes me sad
Anyone else finding it hard to comment or post today? Is Lemmy struggling with all the extra traffic?
Yep, I end up having to specify the language as English in the dropdown otherwise I sometimes get language not allowed.
That is because of the users settings that you’re relying to
I’m not sure, I really think it might be a bug.
New here, sorry if it’s me
We still love you anyways
spez isn’t done. if he has proven anything is that he doubles down on making the user experience on the platform worse.
It’s the usual enshitification
