mfw someone makes r/paywalledwhatever then someone else mirrors it with r/unpaywalledwhatever

Lemmy admins, hold onto your butts

They should pay me to swallow US regime garbage.

CEO, tell me you don't know what you're doing without saying you don't know what you are doing.

Each time I visit a reddit link and see the word "Deleted" in OPs post, my heart fills with joy.

So Reddit wants to move to a pay model, which would mean they'd have banking information on record for any user that might be of interest to the federal government.

No thank you.

Niche subreddits need to start archiving posts and wikis immediatly.

like how every other comment has a new account flair

Let me guess. These will be the AI-content subreddits, right?

Holy crap good thing I just moved to this platform!

Good. At this point reddit is just a weak sauce place for bots/marketers to post where other bots/marketers scrape them. It's rumored that 10% of their revenue is from content deals with Google. At this point, most of the interesting communities on reddit have gone elsewhere and it's long ago jumped the shark.

It's clear that the corporate goons in charge are busy just trying to squeeze any remaining nickles out of the userbase. At this rate it won't be long before a private equity firm buys reddit and you start seeing articles "Reddit: what happened?"

Too bad, it was a site that used to be so good and was sold out 5 ways to Monday and the corporate overlords have fucked it again. At least lemmy is around... it doesn't have the scale of reddit but it's way better in a lot of ways already.

Paywall forum, what can go wrong ?

screw the haters I'm going to make a porn one. i am valid

Hello to all the new users!

I don't think that is a good idea.

I hate reddit as much as the next guy but from time to time I find myself searching in subreddit like newborns, New parents etc. These subreddits do have a lot of experience shared from the past which has not yet come over to lemmy. And now reddit is pulling this subscription shenanigans I'm like WTF??

The bonfire is about to be lit.

Ever been on /r/lounge? If you have you've probably got a pretty good idea of what to expect from these subs.

LoL, bye bye. Not sad, tho' we're building a whole new place here in Fedi-land! Whee!

A few years ago, everyone was wondering when Reddit would have its Digg moment

Wait REQUIRING?

so if a sub gets popular enough they can just say "pay wall."

This is amusing, in the day and age where everyone is tired about subscriptions everywhere???
