My friend sent me this, the current state of Reddit. (I left during the app issue and haven’t looked back)

If you use the official app that’s on you.
“You people who use the Reddit app that Reddit recommends you use after shutting down almost every other app that you can use to check Reddit? You people are idiots!”
Yes, mainly for still using Reddit at all.
There’s no other apps anymore. Which of course is the whole point.
Of course there are. I’m still using Infinity.
If you think you are using a third party app then you are even more stupid than you appear. All the third party apps are now controlled by Reddit which means they’re essentially first party apps for all intents and purposes.
Good luck with that. Let me know when it inevitably leaks all your data
Possibly the most clueless comment I’ve ever read.
Really still going to tell me that you have access to a first party app that isn’t controlled by Reddit?
Bearing in mind of course that I cannot be possibly held responsible for doing your thinking for you
By the looks of it you haven’t ever done any thinking for anyone.
Redreader
ngl I haven’t been back to reddit since the exodus, but my youtube watching has gone up waaay too high.
I’m in this exact same boat and I don’t love it. I don’t know if my ADHD is acting up or if YouTube has made my productivity take a nosedive (got fired a month ago due to it), but I can’t help myself from watching hours of YouTube a day. I feel like reddit was at least easier to disengage from in order to be productive.
Honestly, same. Between the algorithm throwing wild but entertaining YouTube shorts and me starting to watch longer more educational content, I find myself going on the reddit mobile site very rarely.
Has no one here heard of redreader
Its still up due to an exemption iirc
QuantumBadger’s RedReader for Android was the way I used Reddit for 6 years because the official app was hot trash and it still is shit.
I still stopped using Reddit entirely after July, because it that site sucks donkey balls. Lemmy all the way, baby.
Don’t forget the fact that Redditcorp was treating RedReader along with the rest of the app developers with a “put up or shut up” attitude, despite them eventually caving and providing an exception from the blackout. There are still some good communities there I’m sure, but the site as a whole has lost my trust, so they don’t get my contributions anymore.
When I need something, I go through my self-hosted libreddit instance.
I’ve also set up autoforwarding in case I accidentally click a Reddit link in the wild.
Yep. Still not interested.
Oh okay 👍
Reddit wouldn’t exist without the third-party clients. The state of Reddit is already being doomed to fail.
Re-dreader? What a strange name.
I too dread going back to that site.
… and I am starting to see user agent and VPN blocks now just within the last few days… It’s officially over, so glad to be here. Been in the fediverse since the API shutdown. Bouncing between instances. First post on this one! Absolutely no regrets.
Yeah I read they tried to play that off as an accident. You don’t “accidentally” block VPN users. That just doesn’t accidentally happen. They’re obviously attempting to do it, just waiting to deploy it. The anonymous social network sure does seem like they want you to not be anonymous.
Is that what happened? I occasionally check reddit at work since it’s unfortunately still one of the better places for actual answers to things, and in the last few days I’ve needed to use old.reddit.com to get around getting blocked. VPN block explains a lot.
It’s not confirmed what happened internally, but it was talked about a lot here for a while. Apparently VPN users were unable to access it and Reddit admins said that it was all accidental. It has just happened multiple times. Only for VPN users.
Huh, somehow completely blew past my radar. Thanks for the info!
But it’s not like they would think they could block vpn users and no one would notice and complain. The fact that they fixed it means the nefarious explanation doesn’t pass the sniff test.
My guess is that it’s something like that in the process of trying to stop scraping, their filter was cast too wide and it snagged more VPN users than it meant to.
Yeah happening to mullvad vpn users for sure.
Never heard of that website
Um excuse me are you gonna pay for that?
That’ll be $49.99, pal.
Which reddit probably won’t give any to the creator
You mean the commentor? Or thread creator? Nothing for anyone creating the content that warranted the upvote?
Think just who it’s given too not any other part. You’ve thought this out more than reddit did
Actually, they will, a part at least
Only if the person has received a total of 10 special arrows recently, or something.
And since reddit decides can change requirements at any point
Curiously enough, 99% of awards go to people ineligible for a share of the money.
Sounds like buying expensive-but-worthless loot boxes to send as gifts
I guarantee the vast majority of gold rewards will be going straight into Reddit’s pocket. The contrived requirements to get a payout are designed to keep as much of it for themselves as they can, while still saying it’s “possible” for users to get some of the money for themselves.
Don’t call me pal. But you know what friend? I think it would be hilarious if this image started getting used ironically.
I’m not your friend buddy
I’m not your buddy, guy.
I’m not your guy, dude.
I’m not your dude, chief.
You’ve gotta pay, pal.
Ok, ntsc.
I hope people start posting pictures like this instead of paying for them
Hold it. Hoooooold it.
I love the vibrant colours of that vomit.
I was just thinking the same thing. More than the usual amount of love went into that one, and most people probably wouldn’t even stop to notice. The subtle fade-out at the top. That is some pleasing vomit.
Look at that subtle off-green gradient. The tasteful thickness of it… Oh my god, it even has ornaments…
I had to pause for a second. Most high def emoji I’ve ever seen. Can’t believe I just typed that.
LMAO, imagine paying someone for content and then having a Reddit bot (or human) to copy it here for Lemmy.
Is this the new NFT lol?
Reddit was always this way.
I thought Reddit killed off gold earlier this year?
That was old gold. This is NEW gold. You can tell the difference by how much more NEW this NEW gold is.
And they killed the original gold years ago when they added platinum which turned into the orgy of trophies
This is why I only bother with latinum, gold is worthless.
Well you’ve still got the press the latinum in something, so that’s at one use
I wonder how much gold it takes to stabilize latinum. I hope not much otherwise ferengi better’ve had some reinforced pockets for all the weight
This is “New Gold”, soon to be replaced with “Gold Classic”
Very MTX-heavy mobile game aesthetic.
Audacity aside, wtf is the difference between the $1.99 and 3.99 gold???
Electrolytes.
It’s what plants crave
Slight definition on the $4 one
$2 is flat (apart from its rounded edges). $4 rises to a raised ridge in a line down the middle.
´◔‿ゝ◔`)━☞ $2
You lose more money
Afaik, it’s multiples. So it goes 2 gold, 3 gold, 5 gold, etc. This means nothing to the vast majority of users, but a tiny minority may possibly get some of that money passed onto them if they fulfill Reddit’s myriad of requirements to be part of the “Contributor Program” .
How much the “designer” moved the Inner Bevel slider to the right.
One flat and the other is 3D
It’s “3D”
It would be great if Lemmy’s devs implemented loosely based (for fair use) copies of these and gave them for free :)
I want them to be banana stickers

Anyone remember Kai’s Power Tools for Photoshop? Those arrows certainly do.
I had Kai’s Power Goo!
laughs in curve tool
Holy shit that takes me back
On another topic, what kind of complete nonsense is that comment section?
It reads like if my phone’s autocomplete decided to go haywire one day and start spitting out random associated phrases: “Pablo Escobar… Colombian Drug Lord… District of Columbia…hungry hungry hippo…”
I don’t even know which is worse, that these are all bots, or there are actually multiple people who thinks posting these in public is a good idea.
Pablo Escobar lived in Columbia and owned hippos.
Just because you don’t get a joke doesn’t mean it was written by a bot, you goon.
edit - I just realized that I called esteemed character performer Margot Robbie a goon. Many apologies. I respect your dedication to the craft.

What’s wrong with her posting on Something Awful?!
I get all the references, but making a chain of references without any jokes isn’t exactly funny.
Meta comedy is overused to the degree that it is difficult to do it well.
I think it looks like AI bots talking to each other.
Not all of us are blessed with the incredible talent of the writers of the nine-time Golden Globe-nominated motion picture Barbie, two-time Critic’s Choice Movie Award-winning actor Margot Robbie.
Doesn’t it feel weird that people feel guilty when being mean to you only because you are famous? You probably also have more anominous accounts so I wonder, how different does the internet feel as Margot Robbie and Jane Doe?
Doesn’t it feel weird that people feel guilty when being mean to you only because you are famous?
No, because there are plenty more people in life who won’t feel guilty about being mean to you at all. It’s more stressful in the days knowing a Twitter mob is ready to “slam” you for every little thing you say or do in life 24/7.
Besides, it’s not like anything I say here can be tied back to me anyways. Why do you think I refuse to get verified?
You probably also have more anominous accounts
Ugh… That Letterboxd account…

I wouldn’t be so sure about that. On one hand, I totally don’t believe you’re the real Margot Robbie, so you do have plausable deniability, but if anyone gains access to your server either being the owner of it, hacking it, or having a warrant, it might be trivial to connect you to your account with your IP if you aren’t using a VPN or Tor. Not that you’d likely be in that situation, but it is good to be aware of.

Really understandable. Haters will always be a louder minority and when you have 9 positive comments and a single negative one, the negative one will stick out.
Besides, it’s not like anything I say here can be tied back to me anyways. Why do you think I refuse to get verified?
That is probably the smart move. I have a unbsession with celebrities and such and when I hear people obsessing over every single detail of their lives, I feel sorry for the celebrities. If a single mishap gets blown up and reported of my life, I don’t think I would handle. It feels like people enjoy the story of the mental degradation of celebrity X. It is disheartening.
That Letterboxd account I wasn’t aware of this and it is one of those things where I don’t want to click the articles explaing it. I personally have ADHD and if I was watched like that 24/7, I would slip up. Furthermore, all my social media accounts use the same name so it can easily be tracked, luckily no one cares.
Any how, good luck with it all. Sorry for my short sighted thought and thanks for explaining. Remember that most people see you in a really great way. These people just aren’t the loudest.

You should do an AMA. How did it feel being touched by god?
Now you should do an AMA too!
alright, be cool be cool be cool, it’s just Margot Robbie.
Yeah I could totally do those one of AMA dooda thingies.
what the fuck was that abomination of a sentence? Okay okay okay, let’s just try to smooth our way out of it.
Bye
He lived in Colombia*, which I assume is how D.C. snuck into the comments. Took me a sec to follow that jump.
Yes. The DC in Washington DC stands for District of Columbia.
Maybe they’re bots that don’t know they are bots
