  • It’s a preference, I get it.
    But there are a few major issues that the new Reddit has that aren’t an issue with the old Reddit view:

    • Forced to login to view certain communities (or if you’re on a VPN).
    • Ads that pretend to be redditors commenting.
    • Needing to click “view more comments” after scrolling past 3 or 4 comments
    • Needing to expand all comments just to follow a conversation.
    • Custom upvote/downvote icons are not supported.
    • If you’re viewing a thread (not logged in) and you want to upvote/comment on something, after logging in the new Reddit immediately redirects you to the Reddit homepage instead of allowing you to upvote/comment immediately where you were at.






  • Rather than removing entirely, it would be great if we had a community where we could just upload our top comments to, and then redirect users from Reddit to your comment on a Lemmy instance.

    On Reddit users would see something like:

    This has been deleted in protest of Reddit’s privacy policy. If you really want to know what was written here, please see my comment on this alternative service here: https://piefed.social/post/740543#comment_6045217

    Using pie fed here because it’s (probably?) less likely to be caught by some Reddit automod filter, I think other redditors might be attracted to it more, I’ve heard they abstract votes* to a different account from your actual account (slightly more privacy that way), and it’s good to spread out user bases among the fediverse instances.

    You could do something similar with your top posts. Just repost it to the appropriate community and then edit the post on Reddit to redirect there through pie fed.

    *Edit: Pie fed only votes with anonymous accounts for you when sharing votes with an untrusted instance. So not quite as privacy oriented as I had originally thought.



  • This is why you don’t take on odd jobs from people contacting you remotely.

    If your only job is to forward packages/letters/money sent to your home address (or to pick up packages from nearby addresses) and you get a cut of the money, you’re probably a mule for money laundering.

    If your only job is helping others from another country (they will like about where they’re actually from) get through interview/hiring processes, you’re probably working with countries like this.

    If they want to use your name for a job application, you don’t have to do any work, and they will send you most of the paycheck, you’re probably working with countries like this.










  • I’ve never looked into Blockchain Capital much before, some quick search results show that they have invested in BlueSky (not enough to own/run the company from what I could find), but I don’t see anything that associates them with nazis.

    How are you defining nazis here? What leads you to believe that Blockchain Capital is a nazi company? What links are there from Steve Banon to Blockchain Capital?
