News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Hey all, Still occasionally dipping into Reddit but am finding myself gradually transitioning to Lemmy (shoutout to Memmy!). I was wondering if anyone here knows, what has reddit traffic been like these last few months? Is it declining or holding strong? Thanks

Hard to say, from what i know they use a shit load of bots to cover up user loss.

Didnt someone on here say they sold a 10+ year account with a crap ton of karma for like 1400$?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

Damn, no one made me that offer and my account is 13 years old.

[–] Jimmni@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Deeply skeptical. Mine is 15 years old with a few hundred k karma and it isn’t worth shit.

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah mine is similar and I looked up its value and it wasn’t worth the effort of selling it.

[–] hoodatninja@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We should all sell our accounts. Not like I’m using it anymore lol

[–] RogueTyre@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I wouldn't tho given theres a chance it will be exploited but then again I didn't have such account so mine doesn't have a lot of weight behind

[–] hoodatninja@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

People sell accounts but that’s a lie or a scam. No one offers that much. I got offered $200 for a 12 year old (at the time) account with 150k karma and mod of a small but not tiny sub.

[–] Captain_Patchy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Where does one see such things offered for sale?

[–] djc0@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I too would like to contribute to Reddit’s bot overthrow by selling my 12 yr old account to the highest bidder. PM me your $$s.

There was a shit ton of gpt model bots even when I was using it and they weren't interested in doing anything about it so safe to say it's only getting worse

I wonder if this could be grounds for a fraud case in relation to their upcoming IPO. You can't fabricate metrics directly informing the value of a security I think.

Source, go to reddit and read the comments of a top post of the day in a default sub.

About half the comments are copy paste or literally generated by a chatbot. I know people there behave like NPCs but thats a new low. I think The Verge made a Article about it as well.
