With the way Spez keeps trying to gamify Reddit, it's starting to feel like he's trying to make a super corporate remake of OMGPop/I'm In Like With You, for those who happen to remember that short-lived social/gaming platform. The addition of all sorts of new currencies on Reddit and stupid things to spend them on, and the more interactive things they've been doing like leaning more heavily into /r/place, all make me suspect that they're going to try to make Reddit into a sort of gaming hub with a vague social media aspect to it.

I wanted OMGPop to make a comeback, but this isn't how I wanted it. :(

Fill the whole place with Fuck Spez, go nuts!

I haven't used it for weeks and I'm wondering how low the quality of the content on that site has gotten.

Subreddits and third-party apps are going dark in response to Reddit’s proposed API changes. It’s the latest front in a labor battle between algorithms and the humans who feed them.

lol

I've seen a lot of sites come and go, some of which are still around, but the biggest change I saw was the end to MSN Groups...And boy, that was definitely something. Lost a lot of people I used to talk with often, and a whole host of information that is just gone.

However, having seen what became of reddit...well, I'm not too sad to say goodbye to it. Another (be it Lemmy, kbin, mastodon, what have you) will come around...At least I hope the information keeps being rewrit/improved upon, heh.

(Note: I'm not exactly sure if Article was the best choice to post this, but meh, it's what I used).

The Minecraft subreddit won't be a source for official Mojang communications going forward due to spez's idiocy and the API changes.

Pretty bad timing by them to do this when people are about to stop using reddit

Just breaking the ice, that's all :-)
