      The Creator Program wasn’t just a feature, it was a full blown movement that rocked Reddit, on the blockchain no less. You all built communities. You created art. Your art became memes. You put a cone on it. You even got paid (a first!). At the end of the day, you all made magic.

    It is funny, because if they HAD called them NFTs, then it would have 5 customers instead of none.

    Bahahaha this is the first I’ve heard of these. The fact that they even tried to hop on this whole bandwagon is hilarious to me.

      I still use reddit and had not heard of this either.

      Apparently “it was a full blown movement that rocked reddit”. Where on reddit? I feel like they couldn’t point it out.

        I feel like I joined Reddit so long ago that I can’t really remember the sign up process but I do dimly seem to remember that I had to unsubscribe from a bunch of stuff your default subscribe to because it was all garbage.

        So probably what happened is they only advertised it in the stupid subs like that one where they still think lol catz is peak humour.

        I used to use Reddit, and I remember when collectible avatars were introduced.

        The experience paraphrased:

        “Hey, click here to claim a free collectible avatar!” *open in new tab* “Here it is! However, you first need to set up crypto wallet—” *close tab*

        You probably had to be drinking from their toilet using their app to see it or some shit.

    Honestly they’re leaving money on the table by not doing this. They have a horde of mindless whales that are physically unable to stop themselves from buying the Golden LaSnooSnoo and posting about making it “moon”, the place is crypto bro idiot headquarters

    Its funny cause we in the fediverse have awesome profiles (gifs/avatars/banners/custom css/ etc…etc…).

          Lemmy (and Piefed) have avatars and bio, and Piefed also has the custom fields thing that Mastodon has, but not all clients show this stuff. Voyager is probably the best Lemmy/Piefed client that basically has no support for profile details.

          One of the things that bug me about Fediverse is that the amount of profile features varies so much between the services and it’s kinda inconsistent too.

        If you are using Voyager or similar clients, they are not visible.

    Bugger. Almost thought I could hold on to my free not-nft long enough for some idiot to pay me 0.00000000000000001 BTC for it

    Reddit already got on my bad side when they got rid of their Public Access TV thing, the only good idea they’ve had in years; removing 3rd party apps was the last straw for me.

    Blows my mind that more people didn’t leave over that. I was expecting a mass exodus, a la Digg.

      I wasn’t expecting say, a mass exodus. But I was certainly surprised at how few people made the jump. Unsurprisingly, a lot of the best content creators and bot defenders didn’t continue using reddit, so the quality dropped like a stone.

    What we should do ? Cry, complain or boycott?
