I left for a reason. Let’s stop giving mini-elon money.
Vain and counter-productive
We need content
Yup. There are definitely bad ways to go about scraping reddit posts. But if it’s done properly, there’s no reason to be upset about it. We get the content without needing to actually visit the site, and we also get the (generally much more friendly) comment sections.
We have plenty without that. I’ve blocked every single repost bot I’ve seen, also any actual person who reports from reddit. And I still have plenty of content.
How edgy and cool of you
The guy points out there’s plenty of content without having to accept recycled garbage from reddit, and your response is an insult? What exactly crawled up your ass this morning?
Lol no, the guy pre-emptively blocks anyone who he knows came from Reddit. Those are two very different things.
I’m pretty sure that was a typo and he blocks anyone who reposts from reddit, not anyone who came from reddit.
That would still be strange, but it would be way less assholey.
I guess he can’t see this comment then
Yeah I agree. Don’t look at my profile
Cool cave bro
Thanks dude
It’s especially annoying when the archive post doesn’t actually contain the post but just LINKS TO THE FUCKING POST. How is that a fucking archive !?
“I dont think about my Ex at ALL, I definitely don’t harbour any resentment, IM TOTALLY OVER IT, IVE MOVED ON DAMMIT”
That’s not me. I’m totally not emotionally mature than that.
You don’t actually downvote anything on reddit, only here on Lemmy, lol :D. Those are just reposts of stuff already on reddit, but nothing done here actually reflects anything on reddit.
I think the idea is that he doesn’t want reposts from reddit filling up his feed. He isn’t trying to affect reddit itself.
Let’s stop giving mini-elon money.
How are we giving spez money if we don’t actually visit reddit… or upvote/downvote posts on reddit.
Most of what I’m seeing are actual links back to reddit. That seems counterproductive.
It’s giving his site views even if we aren’t paying for API access
It’s not kind to speak of the dead, or so I’m told.
Agreed, but I can settle with one person, a designated champion, to brave the dark waters and bring us our daily allotment of
Tales from the CryptBestof, prorevenge, and BestofRedditorUpdates. It keeps me from ever going there.I mean…I don’t mean to go back…but my hands get twitchy. I look away for a minute, and muscle memory kicks in…and by the time I look back down…it’s there…it’s Reddit.
Omg, we need to start a Redditors Anonymous for lemmy.
I just replaced all links to reddit to links to lemmy so my muscle memory always brings me here.
Also got rid of the old.reddit redirect extension I had, so now if I come across reddit while googling, I don’t even recognise the place.
I copied a bunch of BORU posts over while I still had Apollo to get the sub started. I can’t bear the reddit app though so my work here is done.
Yes but not a bot! I will not reply to a bot.
I don’t care, I left that site for a reason
Not sure if I should up vote or down vote
I will call him… raises pinky to cheek Mini Musk.
