Not just of reddit but also for some reason Google (at least for me) often recommends reddit and ranks reddit posts quite highly, so this enshitifies google too.

Google's demise due to socialmedia walled gardens was kind of understandable, but their decision to lean into Reddit and make themselves extra vulnerable to the whims of a corporation they don't own, is entirely in them.

i think you have reddit and googles position reversed, reddit is pretty much dependant on google almost entirely, they put thier search bar on the top, allows reddit to use its v3 captch3 to catch "bots/ban" , and then thier sudden appearance of using AI to moderate the site.

When I search for something I often get suggestions for "search term" reddit.

Google have chosen to send people to reddit If reddit make those results unusable that a big fuck up.

Yeah i can't see Google keep sending mobile users to reddit.

That dumbass app was enough reason why I'm here.

I'd say it's responsible for at least 75% of us being here!

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 13 points 6 months ago

I'm pretty of the other 25% who came here because we got banned for saying something that offended someone's feefees. I honestly couldn't be happier.

RedReader still works and isn't all that bad.

Welcome!! :)

At the same time, I'm worried the community will worsen. I feel this is the only place left that feels like old internet.

It will get different, of course, with more people. But it won't suffer the worst curse of Reddit and Digg: unaccountable, fascist corporate admins. If the admins hadn't become politically captured ban-happy assholes, I'd still be there.

I hope not. New fear!

I think that people leaving Reddit will go to Bluesky, Instagram and Discord…

Like anywhere but on the fedi.

[–] mangobanana@discuss.online 4 points 6 months ago

To be fair, I didn't know anything about the fediverse until I got banned from Reddit. I had tried all the other platforms you listed but none had the interactions the same as Reddit. Too bad we can't get more publicity somehow.

Maybe its too on the nose to say so on Lemmy, but fuck Reddit right in the earhole. Their pearl-clutching, risk-averse, pro-corporate moderation-bot and tattle-tale system was the last straw.

There are still Lemmy users who go to reddit and reddit users who are exploring alternatives.

Onboarding onto Lemmy isn't the best experience and a lot of existing redditors are already afraid of change and don't want to learn a new thing.

I don't know if there is a website dedicated to making it easier for folks to jump ship but I can say that the amount of content on Lemmy now is much higher than it was when I joined.
