We experienced the #RedditBlackOut and we want to give the power back to the users.
We just granted €3000 to @LemmyDev and €333 to @ernest to support the new #threadiverse who already has hundreds of "subs" and thousands of users.
This grant is part of our engagement with the @copiepublique initiative that gathers companies who pledged to share profits to grant #FLOSS and #digitalCommons.

@dansup Lemmy gained a remarkable amount of new users during the #RedditBlackout in June. I wonder though if the huge amount of new Misskey users came from reddit as well or if I missed something.
And don't forget to mention #Pixelfed also almost reached 200k Users this year according to #FediDB 😃

#AllYourBases with @atomicpoet & @reiver
Are Friendica & Guppe part of the Threadiverse? Or is the Threadiverse just Lemmy & Kbin?
How many people joined Mastodon during the Reddit-migration?

It makes me sad that an open source project that has a community on Reddit held a vote to leave and most users voted to stay.
What makes it worse is that I missed the vote because we were boycotting Reddit, then I just quit Reddit, so I didn't even know about the voting.
I get it that many open source projects run on volunteers, and their time can be stretched, and sometimes the easy way wins, but I still don't like it.

"Reddit launches moderator rewards program amid sitewide discontent"
You know what? I doubt that this will work. Dan Ariely in the book "Predictably Irrational" has a chapter dedicated to being paid for a service versus providing a favor.
AFAIK (and I could be wrong about this) most of the moderators that Reddit pissed are volunteers. They are not paid.
Now, the thing is that some people are willing to do volunteer work, for the betterment of humanity.
The problem comes when you want to start compensating them for the work they were doing for free. If you want to compensate them for the amount of work they are really doing, you'd go bankrupt. So you reason that you can give them a modest amount of money. You don't go bankrupt, and them getting something is better than them getting nothing.
Except that when you start giving them something, you've moved outside the gift economy and into the realm of pecuniary interest. People start comparing and they are not happy. So you lose more volunteers.
Reddit is apparently not going to pay moderators... so they may not actually move from the gift economy to some pecuniary realm. Still, it remains to be seen how their overture is received. I'm not convinced that "gifts" of digital trophies cannot be seen in a pecuniary manner. In his book, Ariely was looking at situations that were much simpler than the mess that Reddit made.
I'm still skeptical that this is going to make a difference.

@cyberlyra A two-day boycott will in the long term mean nothing for a giant like Meta. Learn from reddit users protesting the fiasco there in June. The two-day #redditblackout came and went and now it’s like nothing ever happened.
Blackouts need to be indefinite or until real, positive change comes. No union would strike for two days and then go back to work under the same conditions.
As an aside, any reason to ditch Zuck’s empires is a good one.

I'm not sure if this is a recent development, but since I deleted the reddit app I hadn't run across this before.
Not just the "download our app" but the inability to view content on reddit from a mobile browser!
The content is accessible in a desktop browser. (I always prefer a desktop to mobile device for browser when possible.)
Let this be a reminder, the enshitified sites have a lot of power over access to the data we've given them.

I ended up reading some posts on reddit yesterday. (I'm not posting there, and trying actively to avoid it.)
I forgot how many ads you see there! It made me appreciate kbin even more, and I signed up to support kbin with monthly donations.
Hopefully it's just a matter of time before we fill up kbin (and lemmy?) instances with knowledge that currently exists on reddit.

Hey what's the latest on the #RedditBlackout, are we still mad at Reddit or have they sorted themselves out?

I predict that what's going on with Reddit is going to become an object lesson in future classes on "how to not piss off absolutely everyone in a community that was largely built by volunteers."

Finally got mine today. Biggest file by far @ 111MB is `hidden_posts.csv`, which appears to just be a read history. Looks like I'll need to take another stab at #BDFR to grab all my saved as the CSV only has the reddit URL. #RedditBlackout #redditmigration

Well everyone, it's the first week in July, and #Reddit CEO Steve Huffman is still a lying asshat who treats Redditors as voiceless resources to exploit. So, as promised, I'm off Reddit and out of r/zfs for good.
The good news is, Practical ZFS is up and running as a replacement, with more than 100 registrations in its first day online and more continuing to come in. I hope to see you there soon!

Reddit Ramps Up Its Threats To Protesting Mods, As Ad Buyers Leave | Techdirt

Anyone who has ever lost a great, longtime volunteer moderator understands that you never actually replace them. You just continually try to find new people who have the right characteristics and embody the community... and you hope they work out.
But that top 5% of moderators is rare. It really feels like Reddit is driving away the top 5% of landed gentries here.

"As a result, between June 13 and 23, the average daily visits on Reddit's ad portal reduced by 20 percent"

Small update for the #redditMigration. Pressure from #reddit is letting opportunism win - two subreddits were brought out of the #redditblackout as "scab" subreddits - I added r/AssholeDesign and r/snackexchange as subreddits now run by scabs.
A small subreddit is also migrating to #kbin -- a community devoted to #floating being #fun -- yep, r/FloatingIsFun is migrating. Check them out on Fedia!
See all the latest movements out of Reddit, and share if it helped you!
