News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
u/Spez really didn't take the community seriously with the protests which has lead to this mass exodus. Crazy how they killed their platform so quickly with the writing on the wall in neon bright colors.
"I didn't realize that the big button labeled self destruct would be a problem if I push it. I just wanted more space for my money printing machine to print more money and the button was in the way!"
Really looking hard at how the intention of building a community to sell it at a profit has turned out for Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and now Reddit. People are burned out from constantly trying to chase the next big app. It's at the point now where everyone knows playing into corporate social media will only result in its eventual death, so what's the point in engaging?
Why would someone that was once a mod for Jailbait subs not be a scumbag?
I’m curious what the actual traffic differences are today from previous. Is it really a significant exodus, or just a blip in the scheme of things.
There's a huge difference between reading reddit (with ads blocked ;)) and actually being active on reddit (i.e. posting/commenting -- adding content).
I believe the former will not decline so fast, there is simply too much info on reddit, especially on niche subjects, from experts. I'll probably keep 'using' reddit for my search results and such. But I've stopped commenting and posting. Reddit needs content, not just readers/traffic.
If there is a decline it will probably be slow, and it will mostly affect the quality of content. If power users leave, it won't make much difference in quantity, but quality, well... And when it comes to 3rd party apps I would imagine most of those users weren't the casual 'read a few posts a day'-users, but the really active ones.
I'd also be curious to see the difference and if reddit actually felt it in their bottom line
