reddit can go fuck itself.
That’s the kind of talk that can get you banned from Reddit. 😜
I imagine almost my entire Post history can get me banned on Reddit.
Fuck Spez
Not that reddit isn’t hot garbage right now, and has been for a while actually, but there’s a lot of people here who have glazed over the reason why reddit instituted this policy.
AI companies are scraping the Wayback Machine. This is something that should concern all of us.
Why?
That place is becoming more and more of a shithole. Bots, Ads, trolls, garbage mods… deleted the app last month.
I quit reddit, cold turkey, the day they shut off free API access for 3rd parties. Except for a couple of fairly niche subs I haven’t missed it at all.
Same here. I’ve been better off ever since.
It’s another move to protect against AI scraping that isn’t paying them for access.
Weren’t Reddit comparing a couple of years ago that too many AI bots crawls were stressing their servers.
Doesn’t the internet archive relieve that stress?
Fuck Reddit
I already gave up from Reddit long time ago. Deleted all
When RIF died, Voyager became the new forum app for me.
Thanks for sharing. I will check it out
Maybe I should try voyager too
Yup, same here.
this is the way.
So reddit will become even less valuable
Nice of them to protect their (users’) content from AI scrapping. So that they can charge AI companies for it instead.
They aren’t doing that. They are protecting content from being scraped for free. Reddit is perfectly happy to charge for AI access to user-generated content.
No, that’s not what’s happening. They’re preventing scrapers from accessing the content at no charge. They’re totally willing to make deals for access to their content in exchange for money.
Almost, but they are really making it so they can charge ai companies for user data and not allow scrappers to get the data for free.
They can keep their shit for themselves, stopped caring a long time ago.
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
In the lieu of an IPO u/spez has actively destroyed everything that made Reddit good! Gate keeping the API thinking it’ll help with making some bigshot LLM some day lol
Lol every platform seems to live long enough to shoot themselves in the foot.
Phpbb/mybb/smf haven’t seemed to do that.
Oh no, someone might not be paying them for their user generated content (!)
To be fair, it’s probably best that history forgets this period of the web…
that history forgets this period
and thus it repeats
don’t worry, we easily repeat what we “learned” anyway
Damn you Spez.
I am new to Lemmy, is there a fuckreddit sub?
Why would you want to spend more time thinking about a dead site?
I just like to laugh at things I dislike. And I also like to see how bad it’s getting. Iwas in the undelete sub and it was amazing.
This is a great site to search for communities. Doesnt seem like there is one.
If you seek a pleasant public forum, look about you.
