Where did all this reddit hatred come from? - Lemmy.world

I know we pretty much all hated spez for all the shit he pulled, but a few weeks ago the tone towards reddit itself around here was more neutral. People liked it here on Lemmy a lot better, but people weren’t hating on the old place so much. Recently I’m seeing this huuuuuuuge surge of just pure fucking hatred leveled at the site itself. Anyone else notice this or is it just me? I mean, I was there because I thought it was alright. I hated spez for fucking it up and completely screwing his communities over. But I never hated reddit itself, and I still don’t. Otherwise I would’ve left a lot sooner. Do you personally hate reddit? If so, why?

I loved Reddit, but after the API shenanigans and the doubling down I went sour... but then I read the latest TOS...

You also agree that we may remove metadata associated with Your Content, and you irrevocably waive any claims and assertions of moral rights or attribution with respect to Your Content.

i.e. whatever you post WE own forever and we never have to credit you. It's so horrifyingly immoral.

User Agreement - April 18, 2023 - Reddit

That's a pretty standard TOS clause for any website that hosts user content these days.

I've not seen this "waive moral rights or attribution" in any other site. It's not in Twitter's, it's not in Facebook, I don't think it's even legal in a lot of jurisdictions (moral rights cannot easily be contracted away).

I’m not sure what that’s even suppose to mean

Moral rights

The preserving of the integrity of the work allows the author to object to alteration, distortion, or mutilation of the work that is "prejudicial to the author's honor or reputation"

i.e. under the new TOS Reddit can edit your post to say that you eat dead puppies
