Reddit Migration

The company said it’s golden upvote system “missed the mark.” (Bwaahahahaha)

Premiering on Amazon Prime Video, "The Idea of You" offers a captivating exploration of contemporary relationships and societal expectations.

Recent NPR article on Reddit's IPO -- I strongly suggest you give it a listen. I won't say anything other than I found myself angry enough to provide a bit of feedback and links to evidence refuting some of the worst misrepresentations.

Sure, spez, tell us again how reddit's just never managed to make a profit ...

[...] a dearth of profit this late into its existence portends the lack of a real business model, suggesting it’s still not ready for public company life.

REDDIT posted a more than 20 per cent rise in revenue in 2023 versus the year before, sources familiar with the situation said, as it prepares for one of the United States’ most anticipated potential initial public offerings (IPOs).

A mass user protest six months ago over technical tweaks had big downstream effects, and now the ‘front page of the internet’ is changed for ever

The moderator rebellion is crushed, there are no longer any third party apps competing with the official Reddit app and Reddit seems to be as popular as ever.“It’s a nice time right now,” he says. “I think we’re executing really well.” In 2024, the company plans to focus on three pillars. 1. Maximizing ad revenue 2. Charging AI companies for training on its data3 . Enabling users to make money from Reddit

OK so #Reddit search has always sucked.
It has sucked especially in the New Reddit era.
Now, they have deployed the Even Newer Reddit user interface.

One of my biggest use cases of Reddit was "what are people in various communities talking about this particular video"?

In Old.Reddit, you could at least see crossposts in the unlikely case that the YouTube URL was somehow equivalent to the actual URL posted to Reddit. You know, because YouTube videos could be called upon by many requests, and Reddit fucking gave no shit about any URL normalisation.

But they at least let you see if anyone had crossposted shit.

Apparently, the New New User Interface fucking doesn't even let you do that. I tried searching for a particular video that was already posted in particular communities. Nothing.
Tried Google Search to find this particular thing. OK, found it.
Slapped "old." to it. "6 discussions."
That's it. Reddit was already shit at finding discussions about particular YouTube videos if you didn't use old.reddit. The new Reddit interface at least pretended the crossposts were there. Crossposts no longer are there. Why the fuck do people even follow the site any more.

#RedditMigration

For a long while, platforms have been making tons of usually pointless, often harmful changes to their UI. Reddit & Discord provide tons of examples.

• Reddit's video player changes have been an issue for as old as time.
• Discord has forced their new mobile UI, which I absolutely despise.
• Reddit's new logo looks uncanny. (I wouldn't say the 3D character in general looks awful, and a couple of the expressions are honestly quite cute, but what they went with just doesn't look good).
• A while back, Discord made messages with multiple images display them in this stupid grid layout that resizes & crops them to death.

And that's not mentioning all of the other changes that don't seem to actually accomplish any purpose.

So, why do you think they do this? Is there some good reason to it that I'm missing? Is it strategic business stuff? My personal theory is that they need to have the UI designers doing something and so roll out pointless changes to justify paying them.

Not seeing a community you are interested in?

Kbin is a young, but growing platform with new users joining every day compared to the already established big tech platforms like Reddit. Hence, you may see communities missing based on topics you are interested in, it is either up to you to start creating and moderating the community, or request someone else to step in for you from the community who may share similar interests (Visit m/MagIWishExisted), if you are not up to the challenge of moderating.

This is a community effort, and collaboration is important to achieve diverse communities with wide range of topics addressing the many interests of the people.

New and existing moderators

Moderators are the heart of Kbin, without moderators, communities won't be kept clean for on-topic, civil discussions. Moderators also spend their personal time for free to contribute and help grow communities they love, making a positive long-term impact on Kbin and everyone using Kbin every day.

Whether you are a new or existing moderator, we welcome you to join m/modcouncil, a place where all moderators are brought together in unity. It is a fantastic place for not just new moderators to ask questions and learn, it is also a great place for existing moderators to coordinate, develop new resources (for new mods and etc) and make more contributions together.

Visit the mod council and enter the world of Kbin Moderators.

This wiki will consistently be updated with new info, hence keep checking in once in a while if needed to stay up to date. Have feedback? Message our moderators.

I made my home here permanently now. It seems like such a friendlier place but how are you all doing?

They took my subreddit away and installed some sock puppet who restored everything that I wrote, which I deleted. Do I have any recourse, or do they just get to use my writing?

This could affect a lot of peoples searches. I don't know about you, but when my laptop stopped working correctly last month, the best solutions were still ones that google linked me to reddit to read.... That said, don't believe every news article on the internet and all that...
