Hacker News with Generative AI: Reddit

To the person who posted on a genealogy forum on January 15, 2000 (reddit.com)
You got no responses in 25 years, but you were looking for my wife's family who had ended up in a different part of the world. You were able to name almost all of them, even down to my wife's aunt. But nobody ever replied.

Mean People Suck, Folks (reddit.com)
I've been using Emacs since 1983; it's been my go-to editor the entire time. I've given talks on it, recorded videos, and generally have promoted it forever. I'm not quite ready to abandon it, but I am feeling pretty unhappy about r/emacs. For whatever reason, this subreddit seems to be inhabited by people who delight, when someone asks a reasonable question, in downvoting them and being as unpleasant as they can manage to be. This happened to me just today.

Ask HN: Where do you browse and chat outside of here? (ycombinator.com)
I used to really enjoy reddit but find it toxic and too “mainstream” recently so I moved to Lemmy but it’s quiet and kept a lot of redditism. I’ve been enjoying reading HN daily but want to read more than 20-30 top posts. I like the general kind attitude and professionalism as well as the interesting topics.

Why is there so much [deleted] on Reddit, they clearly didn't delete themselves? (ycombinator.com)
I can't ask this question on Reddit, because I have serious suspicions and the moderators banned me for fun when I registered on my LanskoyK account. If you open these questions on the Internet by searching on Reddit itself, the main answers are deleted along with the users, it's the same in politics, and not only there.

Warning users that upvote violent content on Reddit (reddit.com)
Today we are rolling out a new (sort of) enforcement action across the site. Historically, the only person actioned for posting violating content was the user who posted the content. The Reddit ecosystem relies on engaged users to downvote bad content and report potentially violative content. This not only minimizes the distribution of the bad content, but it also ensures that the bad content is more likely to be removed.

Reddit CEO confirms plans to introduce paywalls for exclusive content (techspot.com)
A hot potato: Reddit will be introducing something that few users are likely to want later this year: paywalls. CEO Steve Huffman has confirmed that the platform will be introducing the ability for some Redditors to create content that only paid members can see, though it won't apply to any subreddits currently available.
