Looks like Reddit is removing the ability to opt out of personalized advertisements. (reddit.com)

@CoffeeAddict guess we'll see another kbin/lemmy + masto bump soon.

just wait until they start monetizing karma. it's gonna turn that site into a race for the bottom

Don't forget their plan to allow users kick out mods and then imagine how people with monetary interests will conspire to kick out mods that stop from from maximising their profits...

Somehow missed that and well... fuckin yikes. Reddit is incredibly easy to bot, this will get abused in short order.

I hate that you’re right.

I hate it too. As much as I enjoy Lemmy, Reddit was my go-to social platform thing for a long time. I hate to see it being mismanaged by an incompetent fool like Spez.

Same. It’s heartbreaking. But people were/are not ready/able to save it so we have to move on. As sad as it is.

At the moment my main gripe is that people still refuse to move to other platforms despite it all. I want to scream "It's not going to get better, folks!" at them all of the time. But I am too tired to do it.

I wonder would one reason be that if "the most" of the community is there, it's just better to be there with the folks and the content rather than take a leap to a much smaller place and feel small or lonely or something like that...

(I haven't used kbin/lemmy for more than an hour - seeing whether this is a new place to stay)

Yes, of course. The network effect is buoying up Reddit as it is and probably will be until a critical mess of users leave it for good. Besides the obvious truth that Lemmy/Kbin are slower and that's not what Redditors are used to who have learned to expect something new every time they update their frontpage.
