As part of ongoing efforts to simplify Reddit and improve Home feed personalization, the final steps to deprecate r/all are being implemented. All links to r/all will now redirect to the Home feed, following the prior removal of r/all entry points. Trending content remains available via r/popular.
Redditors on old.reddit.com, or those with settings that default to the old Reddit experience, will continue to access r/all as expected.
Huh, that’s weird that I basically got away with that. I used to switch to a new account every 6 months or so. It started when some weirdo started to follow me and commenting on every single comment I made. I think it was in 2013-14 somewhere around then. Ever since then, I threw away one to two accounts per year. The past few years it was more like every month or two. I was very active in /r/Formula1, they had 1 month time limit on new accounts, so once I was allowed to comment there, I’d throw away the old account. At times I used multiple accounts at the same time, one got suspended, I just logged into another. I know it was ban evasion or whatever, though it started as a way to keep the weirdos at bay.
Anyway, I never got burned because of that. I guess I wasn’t bad enough to be on their radar.
I as well had people following me around, but also seeming influence agents overly familiar with me, talking down to me like they knew my personal details, which they should not have been able to know, but they might have because of Israel and corporate bullshit. Fuck Reddit. As I saw on a username here, better dead than reddit.
Eww thats creepy as hell
You were a frickin’ saint, because the things I did were either stupid (to call infractions) or really minor. lol.
Or you were lucky or I was unlucky. heh.
That’s what finally has let me let reddit go - so many subreddits have a thing now where you have to have karma in threads that haven’t hit /r/all yet before you can comment, and that takes time and effort when I just browse /r/all. heh.
Probably bit of both.
Yeah thats one of the stupidest things. I get the time limit, but the karma requirement is just stupid. Why do I need to go talk in places I’m not interested in talking, with people who I don’t care for, if I want to make a comment about stuff that actually interests me. Such a weird thing.
But anyhow, its finally over and lemmy and other places are so much better lol. At least here the top 90% of comments arent the same reddit jokes and the users don’t start insulting you when you ask a perfectly legitimate question.
Because Lemmy is slower!
hehe, kidding
I am doing my part to change that, mind. (hopefully not really) :)
I dont know about that one chief, on lemmy it defo depends on the question/topic Ive noticed lol
Thats why I added “perfectly legitimate” ;D I mean, silly/dumb questions are going to get silly and dumb answers.
But for example, I used to be a car mechanic, came across a problem, went to reddit and asked if anyone has come across the same problem and how they fixed it, I got 3 “if you can’t figure this out you shouldn’t be a mechanic” answers, one “I don’t know sounds bad lol” andswer and one asking for more information that ended up not going anywhere. After that, I started to notice similar patterns more often and everywhere.
I do realize I haven’t been active on lemmy for too long and this is not really a place where people come with their questions so the sample size is a bit lacking. But people seem to be more friendlier and… human. And not in a “not a bot” way, but more down to earth and not trying to score internet points or be the first one to make the joke.
I agree with that, but I have noticed some topic areas have more hostility than others!
Yeah thats also a variable. Depends highly of the user/fan base.
