I get the impression that the goal is more to have Lemmy fill the hole that Reddit has left rather than duplicating it in some way; Take the good and leave the bad.

This allows you to browse Reddit without giving it any traffic.
You are a gentleman and a scholar and I salute your efforts!
Thank you for being so generous with your time!
I would agree with you except the actual reviews look really suspicious. They come in blocks of 2-3 next to each other and they are all nonsense. And there’s a fair amount of them.
If this were a highly regarded, honest company I would give them the benefit of the doubt. Having seen numerous examples of their dishonesty in the past month I would say this is par for course.
Where did I say anything good about the USSR? I don’t see how your latest points are relevant to either your initial point or my response.
My father spend 5 years in a Soviet prison so I have no love lost with the USSR.
Personally I have never heard a anyone refer to Russia as socialist. The USSR was but no one claims Russia is.
Only the evidence I put in my comments, all of the recent 5 star reviews have no constructive information in them other than a few random words.
They look really suspicious and the FTC would be able to verify their authenticity.
That’s the end goal but it’s a ways until we get there. In the mean time one of the good ways to be sure we have lots of content here is scraping Reddit.
This is also directed at those who are already posting Reddit content here.
Fantastic! This is really good to know, thank you!
What if I’m a dual US-EU citizen living in the US. Would this law still apply to me?
I’m glad they’re not doing it there… the Apple Store has a bunch with nonsense one line sentences with no grammar or punctuation. One of them even references a different app.
This is illegal and you can file a complaint with the FTC:
