I think the true cutoff for me with Reddit was when they perma banned me for commenting that I should in fact be allowed to punch nazis (pretty sure it was a mass report thing going on)

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
Why has the reddit mascot got chips on its head now?
It's supposed to be a weird 3D voxel banana for some reason.
But why did they blend a very hi-poly reddit alien with a super corny looking voxel banana?? It neither fits nor looks good?

Ah it’s not a heavily oxygenated Mohawk from an 80s bad guy, I’m disappointed
They went back to skeuomorphic?

2023? I was thinking 2013.
These days if I wanna check reddit on my phone I just navigate to old.reddit on my phone's browser.
They’re starting to break functionality though. Sometimes old Reddit doesn’t load comments or work at all on specific subreddits.
redlib is also a pretty good front end: https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib
safereddit.com is one i used from time to time. there’s a bunch of other instances, as well
Wow this is fucking cool! Thanks man!
If you’re just lurking, RDX is a great alternative. An actual thick client and not a web app. I don’t know how the dev gets it to work but it’s great for when I just want to check my city’s sub.

I use Stealth for any niche groups over there that I still follow, and then if I really want to comment, I'll login with old.reddit on my browser.
RIP I have an iPhone so I don't get to use anything cool
Think about that next time you choose a phone.
For iOS just use this safari extension and access it through the browser.
The experience itself is pretty good.

Wtf is on the things head?
A pixelated banana. It looks horrible.
I bet it was AI generated.
Spez is just another lame techbro following Elon Musk
Is it a c/bananaforscale banana? Because it's not a good one
So, did Reddit lose a considerable amount of user base since then or not?
From a statistics standpoint, definitely not.
As of Q4 of 2023, reddit claimed 36.4 million logged-in 'daily active' users. An increase from Q3 of 2023 with a count of 34.7 million. Not sure of the accuracy of user counts for lemmy, but good estimate is about 450,000 total users over it's entire lifespan, if every single one of those was a reddit convert, we'd still be a minor blip. I don't know if we have 2024 numbers that are comparable, but most stats indicate that reddit is likely still growing.
Spez predicted what would happen in that protest with almost 100% accuracy and most mods involved didn't follow through and backed down. Some are trying to build something new and that's worth pursuing but we lost that fight.
Lemmy has 45.1 thousand logged-in daily active users.
Im one :)
Lol, I blacked out my sub and then never returned. Not sure what happened to it, but reddit is so god awful I don't even bother trying to check.
Oh it's really simple. You will have been removed as a moderator for defacing Reddit content. Reddit will then ban you. Aunt reinstate their authority and make sure that their user base has full access to their content . Remember next time to not be a pesky little shit . How dare you try to block spaz and his followers from accessing content that you created but they own . /S Ask me how I know

No. Too many users were used to the trash official app because that’s how many of them came to find Reddit because of the app’s release.
Can’t know what you’re missing if you never experienced it.
But honestly that’s partly why Reddit was going down the tubes when all these Facebook folk started coming to “that new app Reddit” and treating it like Fb 2.0 so it was for the best for the rest of us to leave and find alternatives.
Depends on what you mean by that. A small fraction left but it was sizable enough for Lemmy to become my home.

Nowadays I barely use Reddit, but sometimes you end up forced to use an app, so I use Infinity with a custom API key
That works until reddit.old is killed. That will be next thing to go
I'm still using boost. Both for lemmy and reddit.
Wow, just tried opening boost (for reddit) and it actually loaded
You have to have admin on a subreddit i believe. I just made my own and then it works.
