Yep, this is what the future of awards on Reddit looks like
The copyright on that page is 2021, did they keep working on that after all the criticism from the NFT avatars?
I looked it up and this wait list came out in December 2021 it seems: https://cointelegraph.com/news/reddit-launches-waitlist-for-site-wide-expansion-of-community-points
Yes but it’s still up and “coming soon”
Yeah, I am not sure if this is actually news. I got the impression from what Android Authority dug up that this new thing was going to be regular USD. It looks like they’re going to be asking for bank account information and tax forms for anyone who wants to become eligible for payouts, and I don’t know if they would be doing that for crypto…?
I was confused with the section showing awards when an email just went out saying Reddit are ditching awards. But if this is indeed from two years ago, that would make sense.
>crypto for the nth time
cease“Each subreddit creates its own Community Points token, with a custom name and symbol.”
So based on the art in that panel: communities for a fidget spinner, pinwheel , and a brick…
- https://www.reddit.com/r/fidgetspinner is banned for violating the Reddit rules.
- https://www.reddit.com/r/pinwheel is banned for violating the Reddit rules.
- https://www.reddit.com/r/Brick/ is a subreddit dedicated to…a brick? 33 total upvotes on 5 total threads.
Seems like par for the course.
But it’s not limited to Reddit either. Because your Points are on the blockchain, you can take your reputation anywhere you want on the Internet. Embed them in your own site or app!
Lol
JFC I left just in time. This is literally encouraging me to go through the effort of deleting my old reddit accounts. Am I the only one that became notably nauseous when viewing that link? It’s like it’s been designed by the CCP for kindergartners.
I had 3 accounts from the last 12 years that I went through and deleted the comments on. I never really posted anything helpful, so I didn’t feel too bad depriving the communities of the content, but it felt really good to do.
My favorite part
Communities are the lifeblood of the Internet. But on today’s Internet, they are not in charge of their own destiny. Instead, they are controlled by the large platforms that hold all the power online. It is time for a change.
It’s time for a change all right, lol
Whoever wrote that has a future in the Trump campaign. Zero self awareness. Too funny.
The irony is strong in this one. 😂
Reddit can’t possibly be that self-aware lol
Why does it say 2021 on the footer?
Because it’s not new. Now how far along is it? IDK. Realistically a large feature like this would probably take a couple years development and a company should be thinking multiple years down the road. It’s probable that they were planning a big switch up to reputation and rewards for years.
Spez freaking out and cancelling all 3PAs does feel like a spur of the moment decision though.
Yikes. Every day I’m happier I left. Yeah, stuff changes all the time. But when it gets this shitty it’s definitely time to leave
Weighted polls? Something something Animal Farm.
They built that blockchain back when NFTs of gifs seemed like a good idea and, by god, they’re going to find a use for it.
Holy shit @ChristianSelig
If you actually wanted to tag the person, you need to include the instance they’re on. In your case I’d have to write
@[email protected]I did, it shortened it when I hit add comment. If you press on my @ it should go to mastodon. At least from my end it does.
Me too
On my end it’s just plain text. Maybe a kglitch/kbin difference?
seems like everything that isn’t “kbin.social” shows a url instead of the shortened mention.
if you mention a magazine that is on kbin.social, it doesn’t even work/show, if you mention a fedia or kglitch magazine at “kbin.social” it shows a short mention on my side but a full url on your side… it is broken :,D
left kbin, right fedia, another kbin based instance - so if i post a kbin magazine on kbin it doesnt gonna show, while fedia magazines etc do show, but as a full url vice versa :) really chaotic
Confirming it does for me also
Works for me
If this is indeed new and not from 2021,I’m waiting for Reddit to implement about 10% of it badly and then make promises about the rest for another 5+ years.
They keep trying to make crypto happen on reddit.
It looks like they’re wanting to do a full rebrand as more of an actual social network, I think. Monetizing every single aspect of the platform sounds like a terrible way to go about it.
They don’t care about the users who are making a fuss. In fact, they want those users to leave. They want the complacent social media users who can be easily monitized.
Sounds like spez.
Wow Reddit is becoming Twitter.
The waiting list is on a google page?!
