This is literally just the r/nyt subreddit about The New York Times.

Given he apparently takes inspiration from Elon Musk, it’s only a matter of time until u/spez starts adding post view limits unless you pay extra.

    Really trying to force people to install and browse with the app. I’ll never do it.

    Never installed the Facebook app either. Just too much data harvesting, too invasive.

    Deleted Facebook, deleted reddit, deleted Twitter. Never looked back.

      Glad to be free of my Reddit addiction as well. I miss /r/truegaming but hoping we can build it here!

        With time people will start getting frustrated with all the inconvenient features that Reddit pushes out. Slowly but surely the communities will rebuild here, just like Digg to Reddit.

          Honestly, in my ideal world, all the communities I enjoy will be somewhere between 10,000 and 50,000 people (if I had to put a number). I don’t want a Reddit replacement, I want something a little more akin to the forums I used to enjoy. I don’t want an algorithm trying to upset me or force me to doom scroll and I don’t want trolls/“karma farmers.” We’ll see if we can build that. For now I’m just content not to see a bunch of NFT “snoovatars” (cringe) everywhere.

            I hear that. The general difficulty of setting up a Lemmy account will detract many low effort users (at least I hope)

            Do you remember something awful forums? Think it was $10 for an account and it was amazing. I wouldn’t mind having to pay for an account to keep bots and trolls from infiltrating
