how new.reddit looks in private browsing
about 50% content is like this, no matter what view you select. I think /r/pics has the right idea; it is so dominating. Other subs should change their post to be like this (with their own messages) I think.
Also, what sub did spez mod in 2008?
You're viewing a single thread.
I just wish they'd link to lemmy! It's almost pointless to just shut down for a few days and not make people use competitors.
As a mod I've been considering this, but with the amount of moderators and communities that have been banned for attempting to steer their users to alternatives, it's simply not worth the risk. For now, I've just linked visitors to our Discord server instead, and people should be able to find the Lemmy and Raddle alternatives there if they wish to.
This is actually illegal, if they ban you for that they're violating the GDPR, so i'd say let them.
Wait, how is the GDPR applicable here? I thought the GDPR was just about data protection...
GDPR is absolutely not applicable here. Their platform, their rules when it comes to what people can and can't post (with the exception of personal information, that is covered by GDPR). If tomorrow they decide that commenting the word "Banana" is a bannable offence, they're well within their rights.
All the more reason that federation is necessary in modern social media.
My bad, messed that up, edited my comment
Exactly. Shutting down for 2 days just says we'll be back in 2 days. Shutting down and saying we're going to Lemmy with a link to a specific community shows reddit we are serious about this.
I've been spamming https://join-lemmy.org everywhere I could just before the shutdown. /r/gonewild banned me for posting the link LOL
Lemmy is too wild for GW.
I think the link to a replicated (specific) community is the key.
100% I created a community here to replace on Reddit and made a post about it. That sub did not shut down, but it’s education in nature and I understand not shutting down as people may be depending on it for school.
I told the mods, hey you can have this if you intend to run it. I’ll check my messages a bit later.
Some of them are. I visited a couple subs that went dark yesterday, and they had popup messages with fediverse lnks.
