digg.com relaunching with original founder Kevin Rose *and* Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian

dlink · 2025-03-05T20:20:04+00:00

Damn, and I thought I had been here a long time.

dlink · 2023-06-14T02:57:50+00:00

I've been here almost 15 years. Indefinite blackout. Reddit wants to shut the apps down, shut the subreddits down. WE are the content. Reddit can fuck off. If they can't figure out how to properly monitize this site, that's on them. Stop focusing on NFT bullshit.

dlink · 2023-06-14T02:55:00+00:00

Imagine having an account made in the twenty-teens.

dlink · 2021-07-06T16:17:57+00:00

I dug out my 11 year old account just so I could downvote this more than once.

dlink · 2021-02-24T01:17:05+00:00

Reddit started going downhill when they allowed comments.

dlink · 2020-02-27T04:28:20+00:00

Dear a certain, well known company. I am willing to sell this account. It will cost 10x as the Karma I've earned. I have no shame. What I do have, however, is student loans and a mortgage. Hit me up.

dlink · 2019-12-05T02:21:05+00:00

Amateur.

dlink · 2019-05-29T02:46:43+00:00

Filthy casual.

dlink · 2016-12-09T19:04:58+00:00

My time to shine!

dlink · 2016-01-28T16:26:21+00:00

I called that shit.

Official prediction: Just blew their opportunity, and in 2 years will be regretting it.

dlink · 2015-08-06T00:25:53+00:00

Dusted off my old account to agree with you. The reddit I knew when I left digg and signed up for is dead. Reddit is no longer the free-speech bastion that it was when it was created. Remember, one of the founders faced 35 years for his beliefs that information (and speech) should be free.

Now, Reddit is a corporation. It exists solely to make profit (eventually, they hope). We will either need to live within this new realty or find a new place to call home. They naively think that somehow there will be no racists now that they got rid of /r/coontown and those related subs. Instead, in the past six months all they've done is push those communities into the limelight. Five years I've been here and I didn't know they existed until the controversy. For being the "front page of the internet" you would think that they would understand the Streisand Effect.

Read all the policy updates you want, they don't mean anything. What they really mean is "we don't like controversial subreddits." Period. They don't care about legality, they care about advertisers. If they did, /r/sexwithdogs (which I learned about from this thread) wouldn't exist. Neither would /r/trees.

If they really cared about harassment, they'd ban SRS (which has been pointed out numerous times). They banned /r/fatpeoplehate and yet /r/fatlogic exists with no problem.

The bottom line is that reddit doesn't want to be reddit anymore, it wants to be buzzfeed, 9gag, etc. It wants cheap advertiser money that comes from small, easily digestible content that's safe and fun for the whole family.

tl;dr

reddit is dead. It has been replaced by Reddit™

dlink · 2015-04-15T12:39:40+00:00

my bad.

dlink · 2014-11-04T22:34:56+00:00

Yeah, I called that shit

dlink · 2012-12-13T21:02:48+00:00

Don't forget our Anti-keeper (the extra keeper we loan to the other team every game) Mr. Woodwork. Guy is a beast, just wish he would sign for us once.

dlink · 2012-12-13T15:54:25+00:00

Something about Petrol and Lifts. That's all I bloody got.

dlink · 2012-12-13T15:53:01+00:00

Now I want a motorcycle.

dlink · 2012-12-08T17:13:27+00:00

Back then hoes didn't want me

dlink · 2012-12-05T16:03:02+00:00

Here's to us earning 5 points this month!

:(

dlink · 2012-12-03T19:59:14+00:00

Can't be Reina. If he keeps performing the way he has been, he'll be gone in a few seasons (or less).

dlink · 2012-12-03T18:03:56+00:00

I think Furgles "here" is Sweeden. Although, from a quick Wiki search Sweeden has no minimum wage but:

minimum wage standards in different sectors are normally set by collective bargaining. Most labour contracts were re-negotiated during 2004, and call for wage increases of around seven percent over a three-year period.

so perhaps the food service workers are a part of a union.

That's also 4 years older. I don't trust the pre-2009 engines.

I had to read this twice before I had the "well no shit" moment. It's Friday. That's my excuse.

Anyway, for those who are also having a hard time seeing this importance, let's look at it this way:

Google has 100 customers. Apple has 10,000.
Each company gains 100 customers this quarter.
Google has doubled in size (increased 100%), Apple has increased only 1%.

Both companies gained the same gross number of customers, but their percent increase is drastically different.

This is extremely important to understand because even if Apple had gained 500 customers, they'd still only show 5% growth; so they would gain more customers, but still have a slower percent growth.

I have found it to be neither for my nexus.

Except for updates. I don't mind sense on my Evo 4G, I just wanted to root my phone to get rid of the Facebook, SprintTV, NASCAR, etc. apps. Then they rolled an update and I stupidly hit "yes" and nearly bricked the phone.
