#fuck reddit
Text
I almost never posted when I used reddit. I left comments maybe once every few weeks. But here on Tumblr I feel like I need to be posting something. I know I don't really, but I've got 5 followers for some reason. I have a responsibility now. I wasn't ready to have kids, but here they are, all 5 of them, and I need to keep them fed. Here, my children, have a meager text post.
I am rewarded for my efforts with a little pop up that says some people reblogged my post. Once again, I cannot imagine why they would do that, but here we are. Back in the reddit lands, there were no tantalizing little notifications for upvotes. There was a little ticker for people to click, but that's passive. I got over a thousand upvotes once and I said "neat." But here on Tumblr, these interactions are active. If I get reblogged, it's not just a passing bit of reassurance. It's someone actually taking the garbage I just spewed out and sticking it up on the fridge for everyone to see.
I'm up on the fridges of like 10 strangers. And I want more.

I hate when people (usually men on reddit) are like “if you met arthur back then he would murder you for breathing in his existence!” Oh would he? When? Before or after he’s finished doodling bunnies and flowers?

It's okay to have subreddits that only include images and text about natal women *if* it's for the purposes of misogynistic, sexual abuse <3

Explanation:
r/place is a reddit event with a large canvas where each user can place one pixel every 5 minutes. The point is that communities come together and create artwork collaboratively.
When the event ends, instead of erasing the canvas all at once, users are allowed to place only white pixels so they gradually erase their own creations.
This year, the users decided to use these final minutes to write "Fuck Spez" in giant print across the entire canvas, using only the white pixels.
I've seen this image posted here but I haven't seen anyone explain it yet, so here I am.

Long live Tumblr, down with Reddit

Love hearing white, largely cis male "progressives" on Reddit brag about how they won't vote blue in next year's presidential election because "Biden is literally just as bad." I'm sure all the trans people, immigrants, POC, and women whose lives are going to be 100000% worse under another Trump or radical right-wing administration will fall over themselves thanking you for how brave you're being.

Just in case you were wondering if Reddit was a "good" company, this is their response to an ad for an RPG with a queernorm setting.
Fuck Reddit.

Probably nobody that wants to hear this but I am so fucking pissed about reddit killing itself.
Reddit was my favourite place on the entire web. Unlike all the other social media it wasn't about putting individual users on a stage and everyone following them it was simply a shared stage with the users collectively deciding what get's to be in the spotlight.
Yes it was a shithole but it was our shithole. We decided what we got. The algorithm on reddit was utter dogshit and everyone just disabled it, the real algorithm was the hive mind filtering the best content to the top. All the while actual conversation and debate was actually possible because the comments were not arbitrarily limited in length or ordered by what can only be described as little Timmy's first attempt at a Bogosort algorithm.
We had a fucking contract: users bring the content and watch ads, moderators keep the site usable and the amount of effort reddit has to put in to not get sued down to a minimum, all reddit had to do was provide the servers, ban a subreddit once in a blue moon and be content with having a decently profitable site with the factually most worthless users of big social media
But NOOOOO "We NeEd To InCrEaSe PrOfItS! ThOsE pEsKy ThIrD pArTy ApPs ArE sTeAlInG oUr MoNeY" No you idiot they just provided a better service than you did. Why shut them down when you could just copy what they have and make them unnecessary? And then in the process they try to softban nsfw as well because "ItS bAd FoR aDvErTiSmEnT!" god how I fucking hate capitalism.
There's this beautiful thing that people have created in collaboration which brings joy, news, entertainment, education, support and community to so many people and it was ALREADY PROFITABLE but no we need to ruin it to squeeze out as much cash as possible.
Fuck all those people who helped build the website and make it what it is today, fuck all the users who contributed it and spent sleepless nights to make some dumb pixel art bringing your shitty ass website into the news all across the globe fuck all the moderators who spent countless hours doing unpaid labour to keep a community they loved alive and saving you billions in moderation costs, fuck everyone that loves this website
BECAUSE WE WANT MORE MONEY!
Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of a cancer cell and for reddit the diagnosis is terminal.

Apparently spez has said that the blackout is 'noise' and 'will pass'. Two days was never enough. I'm not using Reddit until pigboy backs off. This blackout needs to be indefinite.
And when you leave for good, make sure to delete your valuable content. Shitheel isnt making a cent of my posts.
The content of spez's internal memo:
Hi Snoos,
Starting last night, about a thousand subreddits have gone private. We do anticipate many of them will come back by Wednesday, as many have said as much. While we knew this was coming, it is a challenge nevertheless and we have our work cut out for us. A number of Snoos have been working around the clock, adapting to infrastructure strains, engaging with communities, and responding to the myriad of issues related to this blackout. Thank you, team.
We have not seen any significant revenue impact so far and we will continue to monitor.
There’s a lot of noise with this one. Among the noisiest we’ve seen. Please know that our teams are on it, and like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass as well. The most important things we can do right now are stay focused, adapt to challenges, and keep moving forward. We absolutely must ship what we said we would. The only long term solution is improving our product, and in the short term we have a few upcoming critical mod tool launches we need to nail.
While the two biggest third-party apps, Apollo and RIF, along with a couple others, have said they plan to shut down at the end of the month, we are still in conversation with some of the others. And as I mentioned in my post last week, we will exempt accessibility-focused apps and so far have agreements with RedReader and Dystopia.
I am sorry to say this, but please be mindful of wearing Reddit gear in public. Some folks are really upset, and we don’t want you to be the object of their frustrations.
Again, we’ll get through it. Thank you to all of you for helping us do so.

Hey so reddit is (rightfully) getting a lot of shit for the astronomical rates they're going to start charging app developers for accessing their API. This is going to force mobile users to use the official reddit app (which is shit and full of ads and trackers) as opposed to 3rd party apps which are cleaner, track less, and have a lot of really useful features absent from the official app.
Some users (like me) get around the app thing all together by accessing the site via a mobile browser, which can be set to desktop mode or old.reddit and works just great.
Or it did. Until this morning.
They have apparently de-optimized their site for mobile browsers and it's now nearly unreadable in Chrome or Firefox. For some reason my default Samsung browser is still showing what it looked like yesterday. Here's the difference. Same thread, two browsers, only one of which is actually accessible to anyone without owl vision.
Thanks for yet again choosing to alienate the user base who are the only thing who make your site exist.

I realize I don't really have a huge pull in this fight, but for what it's worth I just really felt like sharing my thoughts. (Classic redditor mindset I guess).
I'm not sure how hard it would be logistically, but I think we as a community should be focusing our attention on not only blacking reddit out, but archiving it as well.
It seems to me like the general consensus is "It's a shame we're losing reddit because we're going to lose so much obscure information, especially in tech." and I agree with that sentiment 100%.
The problem is, reddit as a company also knows that we need them as a problem solving tool. If you take anything away from this, let it be that. We need to find a way to get this information publicly available from an alternative resource, and we need it yesterday. That should absolutely be a priority, if not the top priority. Why? Because then reddit can't leverage its community content against us.
It's no secret that Reddit is getting impacted noticeably by this protest, and are taking matters into their own hands by publicly removing entire moderation teams and replacing them with reddit-approved NPCs essentially. The only way I can really think of combating that, is by taking matters into our own hands as well.
That is our property. We wrote those posts, we made those memes, and we made those communities what they are. I'm going to be so upset if we let Spez take that from us while he rides his guilded wagon to the bottom of the stock market.
