Community Points are the first step towards a better future for online communities. In order to be truly independent from platforms like Reddit, communities need to be owned by their members in ways that platforms cannot take away. With the advent of blockchain technology, we now have a way to establish this freedom in a decentralized and secure way.

The way to be independent of Reddit is by having a token on a blockchain maintained by Reddit?

Also an odd statement from a company that just strong armed a bunch of communities into either conforming or having their leaders replaced.

[-] outdated_belated@lemmy.sdf.org 23 points 1 year ago

Almost like they’re creating the problem in order to sell the “solution”

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 30 points 1 year ago

Holy shit.

I did not expect the next wave of new users on Lemmy to be happening this soon.

[-] kratoz29@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago

Poor Lemmy servers.

New LemmyFediverse boi since the Great Purge; this is seriously happening again, already? Glad I got out when I did. Compared to the old place, experiencing and interacting with Lemmy is like a calming dip in the Great Link (not a Changeling honest)

[-] PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah same. There are a couple of communities over there that I kind of miss, although one or two of them have been recreated on Lemmy basic nobody posts on the yet, or they get continually brigated.

I need to check out the other servers though. Lemmy is just so far superior to what Reddit was in how it's fundamentally designed.

[-] Disgustoid@startrek.website 8 points 1 year ago

Me neither. How long till old.reddit.com goes away? That was supposed to be the next big spike in the Lemmy growth curve.

I can't believe I read that whole thing. I take that back, I can't believe Reddit actually thought this was a good idea and put it out into the world.

At least we got some better mobile apps now. Hopefully Photon gets replaced as a front page on more instances too. That'd get a lot more people to stay.

[-] Fissionami@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Photon is really amazing. I hope it gets the support and attention it deserves

[-] Sine_Fine_Belli@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Same

Oh well, can’t wait for the all new people to come here

[-] Shikadi@lemmy.sdf.org 19 points 1 year ago

Guys, you missed the block chain boat, this isn't going to save your IPO

[-] bloopernova@programming.dev 9 points 1 year ago

They'll do something with AI in 3 years or so, if they still exist.

[-] tabarnaski@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

In a few months all content in Reddit will be AI generated

[-] athos77@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Spez has been jonesing for redditcrypto since 2016.

[-] empireOfLove@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

Well yeah how else is he gonna pay for his jailbait cp

[-] rem26_art@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

right? Blockchain is so 5 years ago

[-] PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

What are you talking about? By the way, could I interest you in some GameStop stock?

That's it.

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.
