I used baconreader, it was always ad free, so gold never actually did anything at all for me, they were always useless.

I thought that was the whole point of killing 3rd parties… either you get the feed full of ads that pay them via clicks, or you pony up for the gold.

The gold system allowed reddit to collect revenue from payers to give premium to non-payers. Basically it meant a non payer could pay. They’re eliminating that aspect. They’re reducing the number of people that can have paid access…

I don’t know what their intent is, but removing gold isnt logical, and it’s doubly illogical since the disabling of third parties increased the relevance of gold dramatically.

It’s like they went out and set up a T-ball stand and put the ball on it to set themselves up for a nice home run, and are now walking up and kicking the tee out from under the ball. Dafuq are they thinking?

I’m the stupid new guy man, just pushing buttons to see what happens is all :)

Thanks for clarifying :)

I guess the filter is looking for non-woke stuff? Whole lotta cuss words not filtered there…

Gonna guess things the n word, the b word, the r word, etc will be what gets the filter.

Should I switch to .world? It was borked when I went to create my account so I went with .ml, and I didn’t really expect to see any functional differences like comments getting filtered :)

I refuse to download their shit, and as such, I have no access to it. I don’t visit reddit on my computer, never have, never will.

Bacon went tits up at around 7PM pacific for me, and that was that. My last post was a farewell message to one of my subs, and I don’t even know what my last comment was. The baconreader icon still sits on my top 4 buttons at the bottom of my phone screen, and I’ve opened it first thing in the morning once or twice since, but it’s borked, and that’s that. I’ll put a Lemmy reader app there once I decide which one it’s gonna be…

C’est la fucking vie reddit.

Ok God damnit… Someone fucking explain the shitty ass chat filter to me please? I don’t know what was removed from dudes comment, but I’d kinda like to know if anything will get me banned before I go fucking around and get settled in here…

Sorry bud, not picking on you personal or anything like that, just a FNG from baconreader trying to sort shit out ;)

Edit- not a single “removed” here? I got the word removed removed from another comment…

More edit- yeah that word lol… Can I get banned for bypassing? Like if I say b***h? Can I get a warning or some shit here please?

God damn bud, thats the best comment I’ve seen in a long damned time :)
