Being illiterate?

PectoralisInspector,

Yet somehow you were still able to type two words. Clap, clap

We get what they’re talking about: default selection being a subscription rather than just buying the item like you originally asked. Shady practice at best.

zepheriths,

People read left to right correct? If you read correctly the first option you see is not to get prime. My point is the poster for some reason thought cancel anytime somehow meant that was the button to press…

520,

However, the Prime option is deliberately colourful and placed next to the grey no-Prime option so the Prime option is the first thing you see. Then maybe you look back and see 'oh there's an option to continue without Prime'.

Just occasionally, once in a while, not very often, I don’t hate all of humanity.

wildn0x, in The Coup of /r/AssholeDesign

I always thought a subreddit was created and if the creator stepped down, they could decide to hand it over or nuke it, similar to a discord server or something. Never realized the “I made this” meme was reddit in a nutshell. I’d be pissed if some of the communities I’ve spent years building got handed off to someone else without my say.

SpaceNoodle,

“You’ll own nothing, and you’ll like it.”

catwhowalksbyhimself,

I once made a sub, and no one joined it. I then found out that you can’t shut one down. Every. You can abandon it, and reddit will hand it over to the first person who asks for it, but once a sub is open it can never, ever be closed.

You can hand it over though. Or at least, that is how things used to go.

Still true!

My one gift to humanity was r/dndcats and it’ll last as long as reddit does.

😂🤣😂

Star a dndcats Lemmy community hahaha

I just don’t have time to moderate 3 posts in 8 years. Live/Work balance being what it is…

My first post was a great photo of a cat behind a DM screen. So I asked the poster if I could use it as a banner image. She wanted to be made a full admin or no.

So no, and it went downhill from there.

thawed_caveman,

There’s a hack for this: remove all mods including yourself, subreddit is now unmoderated, report the unmoderated sub to admins, they nuke it. However the name won’t be available again.

catwhowalksbyhimself,

Tried that. It didn’t take. Even though I tired remove myself, I was put back on somehow.

And the unmoderated sub can be picked back up by anyone who requests it. It’s how a lot of old porn subs got turned into subs about cats.

This is gonna happen to every subreddit eventually. What remains to be seen is how long things last before subreddits start imploding.

pizza_rolls,
@pizza_rolls@kbin.social avatar

Yup, every sub that participated or said anything against reddit's choices is going to have their mods removed. Even if you went public when reddit asked you to.

They will not risk this again closer to the IPO

Dark_Blade,
@Dark_Blade@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, they obviously won’t take a risk with ‘uncooperative mods’.

berkeleyblue, in This is the entrance to the cafeteria in a US school. Absolute fuck you to the students if you ask me.
@berkeleyblue@lemmy.world avatar

The only time I ever saw one of these was as the side exit to our local Zoo. However it was part of the fence and right next to this thing was a gate that could be opened by staff (probably for Accesibility and maintenance reasons). Puting this as the entrance to a cafeteria is just useless…

MeowdyPardner, in Starbucks notification settings — only 1: "promotions and order status"
@MeowdyPardner@kbin.social avatar

That's how you get users to turn off all notifications lol

pineapplelover, in Starbucks notification settings — only 1: "promotions and order status"

Go support your local small businesses and stop supporting large corporations that rail both their workers and their consumers

SeducingCamel, in Starbucks notification settings — only 1: "promotions and order status"

God so many apps do this shit, like trust me Snapchat, there is only a single notification type that I want

Leviathan, in Amazon Checkout. This should be illegal.

I actually clicked on “continue without Amazon Prime” once and the next screen said congratulations new prime member. I had to search how to undo my free month trial that auto renews smh

Haha, in The Coup of /r/AssholeDesign

This is INFURIATING!!!

What is the discord server? What an AH

jonne, in Amazon Checkout. This should be illegal.

I accidentally signed up for prime that way, and it was a pain to cancel. This shit should definitely be illegal.

schmonie, in Amazon Checkout. This should be illegal.

Idk just because you made a mistake doesn’t mean it should be illegal. In the grand scheme of shady marketing this really isn’t that bad…

daniskarma, in Amazon Checkout. This should be illegal.

I’m pretty sure that’s illegal in the EU.

Tenthrow, in Amazon Checkout. This should be illegal.
@Tenthrow@lemmy.world avatar

Dark patterns are real and everywhere now.

Cevilia, in Amazon Checkout. This should be illegal.
@Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I downloaded the Amazon app a while back. The first message that popped up with a “join prime” screen. I very nearly tapped the join button because it was the only button on the screen and I wasn’t paying attention - I had to scroll to find the “maybe later” button. They seem to love their hostile UI.
