for a personal blog it has quite a lot of PR speak

personally i've not done the lemmy/federated route. i just find small "traditional" forums for the specific topics. i find these smaller communities resemble the old days of reddit. none of the mascot avatar/NFT/pixel awards nonsense

Noticed that too. Ever since i changed my bookmark to teddit, i'm getting the same error. noticed my time spent on reddit drastically decreased because i noticed everytime i get bored i'd go to the bookmark, but then i'd see the 429 error so i close the tab

not to mention the ceo also edited user comment because he disagreed with it, banned subs with no consistency, and for the r/place event, people caught admins cheating by placing tiles with no cooldown. who knows what other shady stuff goes on in the background

That's how reddit started out - posting fake comment to make the site seemed more popular[0]. And how they continue to operate - admin editing user comment because he disagreed with it, then posting a terrible apology[1]. Also how they continued to things like giving admins ability cheat by putting down r/place tiles with no cooldown[2], and censoring the canvas[3]

the problem is probably that you're not using old.reddit.com. reddit is unusable in its redesign form

> that would entice someone to continue their time on TikTok?

a lot of people want to be simulated every moment of every day, so they need the constant hit of dopamine

happens a lot even on twitch and youtube too. With this tool that shows small channels, there are a lot of channels with the same thumbnail and the channels would have gibberish channel names https://twitch-tools.rootonline.de/channel_previews.php?game...

> I thought it's 50% like Twitch.

it's not the best comparison imo. For twitch's own gifting system(Bits), streamers get 100% of the bits when streamers cash out(100bit = $1 but when purchasing it, 100bit costs ~$1.3). the 50/50 split for the subscriptions(when a viewer subscribe to a streamer - 3 tiers, the cheapest being $4.99, and streamers would get half of that)

for reddit there's teddit.net

for instagram there was bibliogram.art which unfortunately shut down recently due to instagram's tactics

i also keep getting the "you broke reddit" screen (even though it's a 503 so actually reddit broke it, but blaming it on the users?) on old.reddit.com but works on new.reddit.com

is this reddit's not-so-subtle way to stop people from using old.reddit?

teddit.net is a good reddit frontend

i disabled header referrer in firefox's `about:configs` and it works for me

why? i also disabled it thinking it'll make it better

wouldn't it be the same as if someone just copy the link and open it in a new tab/window?

> Product groups

do you mean the people working in product. i.e. PMs?

sell it and get a raspberry pi or arduino!
