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.

MODERATORS
If this were written by anyone else, it would read as an absolutely sarcastic and ironically self aware lampoon-esque post

Knew before clicking it'd be crypto crap
Corporate centralized social media: advertises "decentralization" through crypto People on actual decentralized social media: "That's the stupidest thing I heard in the last 2 days"
Oh what complete fucking energy wasting bullshit that can be handled by a simple db. Just more corporate buzzword bingo from these jackasses in charge.

I am so glad I made a bet with a friend about reddit being much smaller or dead in 5 years, it just keeps getting better for me.
So, they’re saying they’re going to pay people to post and mod, but in a cryptocurrency whose value isn’t listed here? I’ll bet someone’s already coding a whole bot forum to get all the community points.

Is this just a way increasing their perceived worth by making people buy their shitty crypto and locking it into the platform that can only be spent on reddit features?

Sometimes I wonder if the people who work at Reddit have ever heard of Reddit.

Called it. It's crypto.
Missed the crypto craze a bit late there.

Oh! So they know most of the people still on their platforms are gullible doom scrollers they can milk with crypto or whatever monetization scheme they want. They know they're scum and are cool with it.

It is time for communities to break free of walled gardens and take ownership of their existence online.
By joining the fediverse and owning their own servers but syndicating through an open protocol like activitypub?
Today's online communities are not like this. They are trapped inside apps and platforms, where they do not have independence or control anything of value. This limitation makes them second-class citizens, unable to chart their own destiny on the Internet.
That is a bummer, are they going to free communities by letting them use third party apps to improve the experience?
Community Points are the first step towards a better future for online communities. In order to be truly independent from platforms like Reddit
...
Community Points represent a way for Redditors to own a piece of their favorite communities. They are earned by making contributions to the community, like creating content and moderating.
Oh, okay, escape reddit by owning reddit tokens?
Most importantly, Community Points are a flexible tool that each community can shape to its needs. Each community has its own Points that it can customize with its own name, symbol, distribution rules, and uses. Every community has its own needs and we expect each to use Points differently and in novel ways that help take them to the next level.
And that's numberwang!

It’s a fucking blockchain. I’m fucking done. That’s it. I’m going to put the Reddit app in a folder and pretend it doesn’t exist.

They should put their money where their mouth is - give out shares of their upcoming IPO for Karma. 10000 Karma = 1 share or something like that. If you thought their system was broken before, just you wait!
Adblockers should add reddit.com as a shaddy and unsafe link
tl;dr, it's more crypto bullshit and it requires the reddit mobile app.
This seems quite silly.
Am I the only one that used Reddit till just recently and has no idea what coins or awards are, or what purpose they served?

It isn't new, and framing it as though it were seems rather disingenuous.
