are you afraid a NSA agent reads your wet dreams or your favourite bands list ?

Reddit: User content belongs to us. You can't scrape, collect, use, or have bots interact with it... unless you pay us.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 6 points 15 hours ago

Also reddalso Reddit: since all users have left, most of our traffic now consists of posts from AI bots that we're really really blocking!!

[–] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 0 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Lemmy is the same in terms of ownership btw, as is pretty much every online platform. Anything you post is owned by the owner of the instance that it is on and that it federates to. You don't own it.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 0 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I dare you to compare the largest possible instance vs Reddit as a whole.

[–] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 3 points 15 hours ago

I don't think you understood my comment.

100%. Reddit loves bots that they control, like the ones that go back and constantly re-post years old top rated, traffic driving content, complete with a replica of the entire comment section posted by hundreds/thousands of bots, because they can use it to do their bidding in pushing agendas and/or driving traffic/engagement.

[–] reiterationstation@lemm.ee 2 points 11 hours ago

Am I overreacting aita and all of those question answer subs are all bots.

[–] RangerJosey@lemmy.ml 16 points 23 hours ago

I don't believe that for 1 millisecond.

Spez won't be able to stop himself from enshitifying reddit in any way he can to appease those VC pump&dump scammers he's spent the last decade ruining reddit for.

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 15 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Fuck reddit, It's a shithole.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (2 children)

Sometimes I have to return for various reasons. God. Some of them have absolutely bled over to the fediverse, but holy HELL are the people and the culture there messed up. I don't know if it's getting worse or I'm healing.

[–] overload@sopuli.xyz 1 points 7 hours ago

What's the difference between Reddit and Lemmy culturally? I thought that the people who moved over here held opinions fairly typical of Reddit.

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

Personally I feel like I am healing. I haven't signed into reddit since they bent the knee to musk. I have noticed that I have become less toxic. I still go off half cocked like an idiot but I have been more tactful about it. I hope to keep working on it because I honestly never noticed until I had been away from reddit for a few weeks.

[–] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 0 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I haven’t signed into reddit since they bent the knee to musk.

What did I miss here? Reddit hates musk.....

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)
[–] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

How did they bend the knee to musk is what I’m asking.

[–] reiterationstation@lemm.ee 2 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Started banning everyone who says mean things about Tesla and musk. Banned whole subreddits for him.

Edit: oh it’s fucking you, of course it fucking is. How much they paying you?

[–] beanslink@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

No they wont. Just those who haven't paid them first.

[–] ftbd@feddit.org 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I always get 'Blocked by Network security' for trying to access Reddit from a VPN

[–] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 2 points 15 hours ago

Yeah they've blocked VPNs because they want to be able to know exactly who their users are. They don't want anonymous anymore.

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 13 hours ago

the users that posts links,a re using rotating mobile proxies, plus other sophisticated methods to hide thier browsers.

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 3 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

step one: ban everyone who writes an emdash

[–] Manticore@lemmy.nz 6 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

I like em dashes. I learned the alt code for en and em dashes just so I could use them easily on a computer. There is a difference between a hypen and an en dash, and a double-hyphen is but a simulacrum of the em dash!

  • Hyphen is just for double-barrelled words
  • An en dash is useful – at least sometimes – for inserting side thoughts
  • ah boy I sure hope an em dash doesn't interrupt m—

But let's be real, I type kinda formally, like an AI, sooo

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I am not convinced. Sending you to the crypto mines where all AI belong. See you in ten thousand years.

[–] Manticore@lemmy.nz 2 points 11 hours ago

Oh no, the mines will be so bad for my authentic supple human skin, and my favourite mammilian activity of breathing air

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 2 points 22 hours ago

I love em dashes. Fuck AI.

[–] Darleys_Brew@lemmy.ml 2 points 21 hours ago

What, like Xitter did?

[–] SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 30 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Like "closing the gate after the sheep already escaped", but in reverse?

No they won't lol

If they didn't do it already, it's not gonna happen now. This is lip service to the shareholders
