Literally their earnings are held together by user numbers (AI bots), licensing deals (AI training), and advertising (AI bot users). Reddit is going to be a case study in AI inbreeding if it survives the AI bubble burst.
Couldn’t AI train from Lemmy for free? Are they doing that already?
Yeah, but there are an order of magnitude more reddit users.
Doesn’t Anubis stop that?
if it survives the AI bubble burst.
there’s no fucking way. its valuation is entirely dependent on it.
Reddit is getting worse by the second.
It’s a shame to see it go. I miss old reddit
Same. I got on reddit about a year or two after they launched. Old reddit was the shit. Now it’s just chasing every last dollar they can
Good thing the mass boycott a few years ago had an affect. /s
Ah man
We failed!
We created a vast network of active communities for nothing!
We did it, reddit!
Losing never felt so good.
At this point Lemmy has all I need for news and tech. All that’s missing is niche communities. I’ve considered going back to reddit for that Alone and filtering out everything else, and reposting the best stuff (not memes) here
I’ve been trying that lately, its not worth it.
They try to block you for VPN use, fuck em
Imo the community moderators completely chickened out. All of them who took part in the boycott should’ve all left when Reddit didn’t budge. Yeah, a few did - and got their mod teams replaced, but imagine if Reddit had to replace entire subreddit teams for hundreds, thousands of well-used subreddits? It would’ve been chaos as they would’ve had no meaningful way to determine who would be good fits or not.
Most people don’t know or care about reddit details. Every post could kick a puppy and people would be like “oh I forgot. But it’s where the content is so”
