Who wouldn't want to talk to bots and train "AI"?

    I don't know how difference france is from the US, but I generally believe people are kind of ignorant and thoughtless. These will pull in people. People click on "Four things that are secretly unhealthy - #3 will SHOCK you" chum all the time.

    Wow, I've never seen them actually pull ads for membership. Site must be struggling for real users. Bot takeover isn't working out, shouldn't have banned the top users for petty bullshit.

    The archive of past posts and problem solving is the greatest value of the site.

    raises hand

    Literally in the top 1% of karma users in 2023. Banned in 2024 for.....

    checks notes

    ........posting a comment that my bike was stolen when I was 7.

    Reddit claims the ban was done by a human. However I just cannot see a human looking at the post I got banned for, and saying "This guy deserves to get banned".

    My best theory, based on the timeline, is that they offered me a presale enter IPO offering before it went public. At the time I was on cancer treatment, and had $0 income, with my two sisters and mom paying for my apartment.

    I had no ability to buy an IPO.

    3 days after it went public, I still didn't own stock, and was banned. Because I said my bike was stolen 30+ years earlier.

    Rule of thumb: the more something is advertised, the more shit it is for one reason or another, and you'll do well to avoid it altogether. When I'm advising people on contractors, my number 1 rule is: if they're on TV, they're criminals, I promise you.

    I help friends and family with minor plumbing repairs and they will tell me:

    oh I had "x" company come and they did that

    " well it's all wrong "

    They charged me a lot of money for that!

    " why on earth would you have called them"

    Because I saw their advertisement on TV. I thought they were good

    " nah they're crooks"

    Reddit is the most new-user-unfriendly site I have ever been to. You've got to farm an unknown amount of karma before you can post or comment in subreddits. There's a reason I'm at Lemmy now. Fuck Reddit. (Also, 4chan is a toilet. The occasional nuggets of good stuff aren't worth trawling through pages of shitposts for.)

    I'm staying with my boyfriend because of his dog. Am I horrible?

    Is there a Parisian who doesn't do rock climbing, Pilates, or ceramics?

    I'm going to the Maldives but I'm composting, does that make up for it?

    Just between you and me, who's ever bought fruit on the metro?

    So, what do we do with the people on the wrong side of the escalator?

    Has anyone ever found the exit at Chatelet, or is that a myth?

    I have been playing a game, Chasm, I Kickstarted years ago. I am having some difficulties and while Steam discussions are helpful for some, most discussions are on Reddit. The posts are 3+ years old, and every time I try to open one I get a notification that the discussion hasn't been reviewed by the community so I can only read it with the app. Shit website.

    “Come make friends on Reddit”

    Lmao. Tell me Reddit inc doesn’t understand their product at all without telling me.

    No one uses Reddit to make friends. (Yes, I know some jagweed will come with a story about their friends brothers girlfriends nephew that met their best friend on Reddit)

    Maybe they shouldn't have permabanned thousands of active users like me, with a 12 year account and nearly 1 million Karma. People like me built Reddit, and as soon as HitlerPig was inaugurated, the DOGE Goblin demanded that Reddit purge its membership. Now they're stuck with bots, novelty accounts, punsters, Russian Propaganda Farmers, MAGA activists, etc.

    Reddit posting ads for more users is actually hilarious. They were soooo unconcerned with how many users they were going to lose when they made the 3rd party API changes. Like to the point where u/spez basically had a "let them eat cake" moment and just straight up said "were successful enough we dont care if we lose people".

    I don't know about the rest of the images, but the last one is definitely photoshopped. Check out the reflection on the floor.

    The second picture on the house seems suspicious as well.

    By exception, advertising is forbidden at the following locations:

    On the walls of buildings except when these walls are blind or have at least one opening with a unit area of less than 0,50 m²

    Within 100 meters and in the field of visibility of buildings with an aesthetic, historic or picturesque character

    They added functionality that allows you to hide your comment history, so now you have even less information regarding whether you are talking to a real human being or not. Before, they didn't even have to advertise. Now, they've enshittified themselves so much they desperately need new users.

    Nah, this is one more landmark on the eventual enshitifcation of every platform, only happening because as company that is publicly traded. Someone at Reddit HQ realized that they could make more money off new french users than the cost of ads. So then they have a fiduciary duty to do exactly that. Just like the reddit API-ocalypse, the finical benefits data from every redditors mobile being forced to use the official app was determined to be more profitable than those who would be pissed enough to leave.

    Either Lemmy dies or it grows enough to do the same eventually.
