Looks like a good time to sue for that $20,000,000 he'll need to keep Apollo going.
I believe that is how it works. the communities are server-specific, but an account from any server can interact. kbin is a closer approximation to reddit. for sure.
As a former Reddit advertiser, I am sad to see the platform die, but it is dead. It was a fantastic place to advertise, even if it had a relatively small userbase. (You had to make your advertising a bit bursty. You could spend a bit of money for a short time, then you would have saturated your potential viewers and responses would quickly drop off. Give it a few weeks, then hit them again. Now that Twitter and Reddit are no longer viable social media platforms, I am wondering where will be the next good place to spend advertising dollars.
What's next is, advertisers walk away from the platform and consumers start walking away from companies that advertise on Reddit.
Just because it's not useful to you doesn't mean it's not useful to someone. I've hit private reddits in 2 searches for information this week, and none were for apple's. One was for Windows, the other was for midrange computer info. I'm less happy with the reddit moderators, because they're hiding information, than I am of the management, even though I think they're being stupid. At least the management isn't keeping me from the information directly.
This is what will be the death of them, it was not the NSFW content, it was always and will always be the money machine behind it. The free labor kept the overhead low and kept the place some what democratic, I dare say it was the thing elon screamed he wanted, self policing self regulating free place. The CEO saw a cash grab for him and his board and took it. There is nothing wrong with that, but if your company is not fit to sell warts and all then maybe its not right to sell it and explore other venues for capital.
No thank you. Apple doesn't do social very well. Judging by how slanted their news app is I could only imagine the echo chamber an Apple social platform would become.
Another person? Everyone is replaceable. There will be hundreds of volunteers to take their place.
Well no content vs poorly managed content? At least SOME will stay if you have some content vs now where I have had 25 times now needed to use cache results from Google to see a solution to a problem I have. This is like if stackoverflow went on this train. Horrible for the users.
Exactly. If these mods and ONLY THESE MODS (irreplaceable) are what makes the site. Just leave. If the communities turn to trash it will die anyway. But you are stopping me as a viewer to see content that’s been out there for years.
Exactly, people are acting like these moderators are brain surgeons. Any active member of a Reddit community can take over.
And you know the frustrating part about this? I wanted to link to a post I made. MY CONTENT. It had so many great details and information. But I can’t because the mod made the subreddit private.
