It's difficult for me to give any less of a shit about Reddit. I'm perfectly happy with Lemmy.

We are so irrelevant that cryptoscam bots don’t target us 🎉

It's been a hard habit to break after 15 years, but I'm getting there.

[–] [email protected] 95 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Luckily for me reddit made it easy by killing 3rd party apps and I only ever browsed it with RiF.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago

RIP Apollo.

[–] thorbot 25 points 1 year ago

Same, when the app I used stopped working, I tried the reddit default one and bailed out after like 5 minutes of using that ad riddled shitpile

[–] Fredselfish 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Same haven't been back since I joined lemmy in June.

I still have to google search reddit when I'm looking for specific info like opinions on games. Unfortunately lemmy's not reasonable to search, and Reddit has a much bigger userbase with a longer time to accumulate info about most topics.

Went to reddit to see what the top posts were. Not much has changed.

"I kicked a puppy. AITA?"

"Gang of teens beat up an elderly homeless guy. Not ragebait."

"What are your favorite dating tips? Help me write my fluff article."

What a terrible Lemmy clone...

[–] [email protected] 62 points 1 year ago (14 children)

At least they are not doing the Twitter/X thing where they impersonate celebrities to push crypto... yet.

Lemmy Silver is the only fake Internet money I endorse.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks for the warning Ms Robbie. I'm a big fan of your movies, do you have any further financial advise?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (4 children)

You've seen the Wolf of Wall Street right?

Do like the exact opposite of that.

Sorry to see you're still using Reddit

[–] grue 50 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

This isn't infuriating at all. Where's my !schadenfreude community?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Be the change you want to see in the fediverse

“Nah I’d rather just sit back and silently upvote while someone else provides the content / comments”

So many threads have tons of upvotes but less than 10 comments

This is clearly the trend for Reddit- posts in general interest subs are frequently reposts by bots and commented on by bots that are karma farming so that they can post and upvote these scams.

The scary thing is that this would be easier to accomplish on Lemmy, we just aren’t big enough to be worth their time yet.

Every day the Dead Internet theory looks more and more correct.

Unrelated, but has anyone noticed that almost all posts and comments have at least one downvote?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When you have a platform with multiple millions of people, everyone is gonna be hated by someone

Spez can drown in the shitpile he's created

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago (2 children)

WTF kinda subs are you subbed to, dude?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

It's the rising posts for /r/all. So all the posts from all the subs that, if they continue to get up votes and comments, are close to being on the front page.

I bet there are absolutely no bots at work on the platform!

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

More like mildly amusing. This is what happens when you basically get rid of or dissuade your volunteer mods from doing free work for you.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Shit like this is why people will leave reddit and never come back.

When 5 of the shown groups are obviously crypto related why is it a surprise? Bots push all kinds of stuff to the top in other popular subs, crypto subs are just getting more targeted bots instead of some tiktok clip.

It should straight up be illegal to manipulate a platform like this using bots tbh.

nazi digg deserves it.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

And their new Elmo-like system to pay mods will make this type of spam worse as mods will be incentivized to allow this crap.
