Someone posted this over on Reddit right when it happened and I apparently saved it. I'm cleaning out my bookmarks and came across it. I hought you'd like to see why it's good news that we found Lemmy.

Edit: I took a screenshot in case it gets deleted.

Can you TLDR it cause i don't want to change my DNS rules to allow reddit for this.

[-] bloopernova@programming.dev 71 points 1 year ago

TL;DR enshittification. Lots of targeted ads and corporate newspeak.

[-] CookieJarObserver@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 year ago

Thx.

Fuck reddit.

TLDR; remember how you liked putting site:reddit.com at the end of searches for specific product recommendations because it seemed like the last place left on the internet where you can get recommendations which weren't blatant ads? Well fuck you, we gonna use the question context when choosing ads.

Example: Looking for headphone recs and go to a reddit post? You're gonna see a headphone ad.

Oh, I assume the majority of us here use ad blockers. This seems like something that won't effect us

And, if a non adblock user sees these ads, that's on them. Ad blockers have never been easier to get running

Except they'll make them normal reddit posts through bots.

Context needed please. Reddit is blocking themselves?

[-] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

Nope. I've seen myself visiting Reddit through Google search a bit too much, so I blocked it in DNS settings just like the other guy.

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.
