The figure is probably closer to 40% than 90%, subredditstats seems to be affected by the api changes too. However 40% at the low end of the range is still phenomenally bad. And every subreddit is definitely seeing a constantly declining amount of activity now.
Just recently updated on this, reddit are actively trying to do something about it but are still in the “oh fuck what do we do?” stage of gathering information. https://hexbear.net/comment/3946548
I don’t think this is all just alienating power users. I think a major aspect of this is disturbing routines that people previously had. When people have a daily routine where they do the same thing every single day you shouldn’t disturb that because then they replace that part of their routine with something else, that’s what users did with reddit imo when their preferred app no longer worked. They just used something else, probably Tiktok.
Twitter by the looks of things.
What is happening over there is one of the biggest disasters I’ve ever seen online and the fact that it’s going unreported on while Twitter and Musk continue to get all the attention is absolutely ridiculous. Reddit is collapsing and unless they do something enormous it is currently in a death spiral.
Go to literally any subreddit, scroll to the comments per day graph and check out the drop on July 11th. The official date of the change was July 1st but they delayed it or something with a grace period. That drop on July 11th is the api drop.
Some examples in order - /r/mildlyinfuriating /r/whitepeopletwitter /r/gaming /r/Askreddit
When reddit shut down their api every single subreddit on the site went down in comment activity by 75% or more. Comment activity has only been decreasing in the month since then. Post activity has been in decline as well.
Whether this means people stopped using the site entirely or not is up for debate. But in terms of damage to the community on the site it is the single biggest social media failure I have seen on the web since Digg. Even Musk hasn’t damaged Twitter as much as the api change has damaged reddit.
I think it’s worth keeping in mind that for some of this you’ll need to use more than one platform for a while. Sports content was one of the last things that really popularised on reddit and that’s because it’s less popular among early adopters, who tend to be more into tech than physical activities.
Yeah it runs rock solid. I get the impression FS must have good employee retention and have very good methods for building employee skills, so over time they’ve only improved. On top of hiring and acquiring some of the best staff that must have existed in other Japanese studios. No idea how they actually treat the employees, could be like shit because it’s Japanese work culture, but something about them is producing content that is consistently a cut above everything. They’re getting up there like Rockstar in terms of quality but based in Japan instead of the UK.
Starfield really does look and run great.
Run great? Absolutely not.
I get 120fps in Elden Ring at medium, 2070, 64gb ram, i9-12900k.
Just got done with Armored Core, rock solid 144fps at medium all the way through, never a blip.
This runs at 30fps on lowest settings. It runs like absolute crap. It’s incredibly jarring to go from games that are gorgeous and well made with high performance to this thing running like something 20 years ago. Absolutely zero optimisation.
It will get a seriously negative response from the average pc user when user reviews start hitting due to this performance.
I would think that it’s cheap availability on GamePass and likelihood of frequent updates would make for a muted response to this one.
The performance is absolute crap I think everyone should pirate it just to send a message. Like holy crap it’s awful.
It runs like absolute crap. I have a 2070 with i9-12900k and 64gb ram and get 30fps on the LOWEST settings. That’s it.
I run Elden Ring at 120fps and just got done with Armored Core that ran at 144fps rock solid medium settings all the way through without a single blip.
The performance is unbelievably atrocious.
There isn’t any fucking nuance.
There is us pointing out something is racist.
There are racists claiming it is not.
There are racists claiming that the people calling you racist are being abusive for doing so.
That’s it. That’s the discussion. And you look pathetic for it. You were on the side of every other word I mentioned earlier too.
Not sure I understand the joke?
minor issue
Casual racism != minor issue
Denial of racism != minor issue
Unless you’re a racist
Ahhh yes the problem is that Hexbear came in and agreed it is racist, and then the racists threw a fit.
Lmao give it a rest. Calling you a racist isn’t abuse, you just don’t like being called on it and now you’re pissing and whining about it.
Hexbear is a plague on lemmy, I can’t wait for the day of instance-level blocking
It’ll be great, you lot will opt out of seeing us, and opt out of cultural opposition to us. Meanwhile the vast majority will not, and without the far right as a constant source of distraction, concern trolling and sealioning the leftist influence will be even higher.
Then you should know better than this bullshit, because you would be working with several of us. There is definitely not a teaching union that is not filled with MLs, education in particular has the highest number of us.
Not really? The only thing you ever say to us is “tankie” or accuse us of being bots of some sort. You never actually engage in any discourse. That’s why you have this terminology, it functions as a method of literally dodging any engagement with anything we say, effectively by calling someone a tankie you give yourselves a socially acceptable way to avoid learning anything from socialists. It’s thought-terminating.
If you have anything worth saying that’s actually in good-faith I will completely engage with you. The point is that you deploy this word to avoid any engagement. The tactic is exactly the same tactic as the conservatives use to avoid any right-wing people engaging with anything to the left of them, if it’s “woke” they can switch off their brain and exercise avoidance to learning anything about it that might make them think differently.
Liberals, of both the conservative and democrat variety, both use exactly the same tactic on the people to their left.
Talk to me about something a marxist has just dismissed you on with the use of “lib”. I am happy to talk to you about it. What do you want to say? We call you libs because you ARE libs. You support Liberalism. The ideology of capitalism. Our actual analog to “tankie” is calling you dronies.
This basically shows that what you care about is whether someone is anti-west or not. You are a western nationalist. Not a socialist, and certainly not an internationalist.
What have you actually done to help socialism then?
Are you a union organiser? Are you in a union? Which one? What party are you in? What projects do you support? What are you actually doing as a socialist? Other than voting for a liberal party every few years I mean.
Trading goods isn’t capitalism. Trading goods has existed for thousands upon thousands of years. Capitalism has only existed for a few hundred years.
I know you mean well, but this speaks to a deep educational misunderstanding about what capitalism is. If you are interested in learning about what it is, how it functions and how it relates to and differs from previous systems I am up for helping out with a short 101 and making recommendations for further reading.
