I nuked a 15yr and 14yr old account on reddit. Just one more to go and today is the day.
@spiderkle So, do you want to be paid in pressed latinum or oppressed latinum?
Quite an impressive likeness of Spez there
I’m so happy to be here, everyone is so nice. Here’s to a bright future!
Whooooo that is a sexxxxy ferengi!
I mean just look at those lobes 😏
Like those bars have no lattinum their subreddits will have no posters
no creators = no content = no faces to put ads in front of
edit: the restore feature is neat btw!
I’m sure ChatGPT can keep filling r/AITA threads. At least half of them were made up already anyway.
“AITA for making up legal precedent which got some lawyer in trouble?”
Yup, they did a great job at driving away people who cared. Now they’re left with shitposters and spammers. The downside is they’ll still make a killing selling the free content everyone gave them to train AI models. But they’ll get no more from me.
I don’t want to wish misfortune on Spez, but i certainly don’t want to wish fortune on him either. What a colossal idiot.
I’m still missing a lot of the niche communities that haven’t cropped up here yet, but this instance and the USS Hood discord have been a diverting replacement.
The good thing is that the more niche they are, the easier it is to just move somewhere else since you don’t have to convive millions of people.
give it time or better yet, start one yourself, it’s a new day.
I deleted my final two accounts today. It won’t be easy, but it’s time for me to move on.
Congrats, It’s a new day! Just nuked my reddit yesterday, leaving no content to be profited from. It’s strange how stagnant and unflexible reddit had become over the last years.
Check back up on it though. Saw a video where someone nuked account/comments and reddit un-deleted everything. Even if misleading, wouldn’t hurt to confirm account is dead in a bit.
BS comparison. Ferengi have at least some kind of moral compass.
The 34th Rule of Acquisition. War is good for business
is spez the brunt?
Liquidator Spez. RCA (Reddit Commerce Authority)
By the 57th Rule of Acquisition, “Good customers are as rare as latinum. Treasure them,” Reddit is being a bad Ferengi.
Rule of acquisition #142:
If there’s no product, there’s no profit.Do we have an RES for lemmy?
So far, there are some user-scripts or extensions to customize Lemmy like old.reddit.com or according to your needs. At the moment, I am using Lemmy_monkey. There is a community called “Lemmy Plugins & Userscripts” covering everything you need
I would give you a worthless gold award but Lemmy doesn’t have those.

Gold? The worthless metal used to hold latinum?
Well, it’s been a good run at least.
no kidding. been using this for a few weeks, and seen a noticeable increase in aggressive users the past few days who just scream, harass, and name-call at people they disagree with.
can’t wait for the reddit idiots to flood lemmy instances with their hate and stupidity.
Even if currency were their currency…
https://techcrunch.com/2023/06/30/fidelity-deepens-valuation-cut-for-reddit-and-discord/
[Fidelity Blue Chip Growth Fund] has further slashed the estimated worth of its holding in the social platform Reddit… [it] valued its holdings in Reddit at $15.4 million as of May 31… That’s down 7.36% from the $16.6 million mark at April’s closure and altogether a slide of 45.4% since its investment in August 2021. The updated share value suggests a $5.5 billion valuation for Reddit.
Very interesting. It doesn’t seem to be that big of a downturn in the total valuation, but it’s continuing several small downward trends for the platform. Close to 10% down isn’t breaking the bank, but Investors always just count engagement numbers (for ad monetization). So it’s not even factoring in the loss of content and free manpower / creators yet. Those will hurt the bottom line in the long run.
It’s close to 50% down in 1 year. That’s a huge valuation cut. Wait til they realise they lost many of the power users who were actually giving the website content. It’s all downhill from here.
