I’d argue discord is even worse.

Most toxic moderators of large subreddits does come from discord.

RecluseRamble ,

Oh definitely. At least Reddit can be searched (let’s see for how long though)

Monument ,

Reddit doesn’t even like Reddit.

It’s like a teenager.

updoots encourages circlejerk

I mean, making a post about hating on Reddit, on Lemmy, is pretty circlejerky too at this point.

Senseless ,

true.

anyway, fuck spez.

There’s a key difference, at least when it comes to hating Reddit.

Most [all?] users here have actual, informed reasons to hate Reddit, from past experiences with the site. They aren’t simply joining some bandwagon due to social expectations to bend to the crowd.

“ruins the Internet”? This coming from 4chan? That’s rich

Ilovethebomb ,

4chan is kinda the sump of the Internet. All the crud sinks there.

slurpeesoforion ,

Shit usually floats.

Duamerthrax ,

4chan doesn’t nearly have the kind of traffic to ever have ruined the internet.

wizardbeard ,

It used to. Used to be the #1 most visited website worldwide for many years.

drathvedro ,

Whenever I stumble on reddit I make sure to post disinformation or some kind of dumb shit to throw a wrench into the LLM training data they sell to google.

I have literally over a hundred permabanned accounts on that site.

Ilovethebomb ,

That’s impressive, I think I’ve got half a dozen.

Comment105 ,

I timed it once, took me just over a minute to make a new account.

Ilovethebomb ,

I found they caught on quick to alt accounts though.

Comment105 ,

Yeah, usually made a couple, lost those as well, gave them a while, and I’d be able to make one I could keep again. Not sure if they had anyone manually looking at it.

Haven’t had a main account for years. Never maintained multiple alts either. Just constantly replacing.

I still engaged a lot in earnest, but I sometimes leaned heavily on sarcasm and became incredibly flippant about the site and all the people on it. Really stopped valuing keeping my account.

I noticed that every time I commented on anything in r/pcgaming, I think it was, I was banned quickly. I think some subreddits do their own “security” seemed pretty fast and consistent, maybe automatic. Talking about a few hours or so.

answersplease77 ,

I just got another one today for “harassment” of zionism in r/worldnews. Reddit cannot hold a free discussion and they know it. They can’t even let you speak to expose their bullshit, and permaban you when you do.

I can you show you the comment which got me banned. I was literally asking questions which they know the answer for but censor intentionally because they are bought and controlled by awful groups directly linked to the IDF themselves. They have a division who train and employe teens as stupid Hasbara trolls who don’t know history and unable to hold a discussion.

Comment105 ,

My first one was in response to some rich cunt who went on air to say more or less that poverty was a good thing because then people had something to strive to avoid, so I said something along the lines of “This guy should be shot, I’m not even exaggerating.”

Make sure to have some LLM generate the comment for you, as LLMs learning synthetic data may fuck them up over time: AI models fed AI-generated data quickly spew nonsense

davepleasebehave ,

I miss the IMDB discussions under each film…

Was great to finish a film and have a question or and ideas and be able to talk about it.

Dyskolos ,

Totally. I was so pissed when they stopped it. And now it’s just a gargantuan prime-advertiser.

toynbee ,

It’s not exactly a replacement, but TV tropes provides a lot of satisfaction on this front.

@jelloeater85@lemmy.world avatar

It’s gonna die like Digg or Fark … Which are still around, but shells of their former selves. TBH most normal folks haven’t even heard of Reddit, let alone Lemmy or Mastodon.

Ilovethebomb ,

I disagree with you on how well known Reddit is, it’s been mentioned in enough news stories over the years that most people have heard of it, even if they’ve never been there.

Potatisen ,

Yeah, the name was picking up steam. If they hadn’t fucked it up that name would be been gold in 1 or 2 years.

Ilovethebomb ,

It’s a catchy name.

Monument ,

Since about 2018, I’ve gotten the sense that most internet users know about Reddit, but are embarrassed to admit they know about Reddit.

collapse_already ,

I use it less and less. I only really visit two sub reddit, and one of them has been really declining as it has grown.

@jelloeater85@lemmy.world avatar

If you use Inoreader, you can just skip going to it for the most part.

Please elaborate

Comment105 ,

No.

LittleBorat3 ,

To be fair reddit is still better than some instances of lemmy

AlexanderESmith ,

Not soon enough.

Will the bots be what ends it?

Eventually it’ll be all bots jerking themselves off

Ilovethebomb ,

Half the users may as well be bots anyway, it’s just dorks yelling the same catch phrases at each other in the comments.
