I deleted my Reddit account today. 8.1K karma point lost like tears in the rain 😁

2 year old post that will be relevant forever.

I started transitioning when boost stopped

I was here for the Algo feed zombie thread revival let’s go

bleph ,

If we comment enough, we could get this zombie thread stuck in the ‘Active’ feed

PabloPicasshole ,

Shit, it’s working.

bleph ,

Never underestimate the power of shitposting

chardiemacdennis ,

Seems the Hot algorithm chucks in the occasional ancient post.

Cruxifux ,

Bug? Or feature?

danwardvs ,

Beats me!

Could it be that some deep liked that post today, and that got picked up by the hot algorithm (got a new upvote) and then snowballed over here.

dingus ,

Honestly I do kind of like it! It’s like unearthing a time capsule lol

Contramuffin ,

There’s a known bug with the algorithm that causes old posts to pop up from time to time. Hope it gets fixed soon

Carnelian ,

I think I read that it’s related to old posts being copied to new instances

can ,

So someone on Lemmy.ml commented on it, causing the old thread to federate out to the instances created after it was posted?

aronkvh OP ,

lol I have no idea why it got popular now. Basically it was how Reddit handled this and then r/europe banned me permanently because I mentioned Lemmy. Tbh .ml wasn’t the best place to join Lemmy in retrospect, I’ve moved to lemmy.kde.social

Aurix ,

What are you about?

the_frumious_bandersnatch ,

Probably this

Baaron87 ,

Looks like OP posted this thread two years ago, so hard to say what their reason was. That said, I hadn’t heard about that with reddit yet. Thank you for sharing that article.

Spez is crazy if he thinks that move will bring back those who have left

Chriszz ,

That is going to absolutely ruin the site even more lmao

You thought karma farming bots were bad? Wait until users start posting like them too

anas ,

Oh huh, I didn’t expect them to be bleeding this much money lol

Flelk ,

Same. I’m starting the transition in earnest as of today.

Trapping5341 ,

Any chance you are still around to tell everyone why you guys were so ready to leave reddit w years before the rest of us? 😂

Ktheone ,

Dunno about him but for me, reddit already had gone worse after 2014

Trapping5341 ,

Thats fair. I didn’t really even get into Reddit until 2012. So I probably never noticed plus I mostly browsed on Sync on my phone and never really dealt with the website itself which imo is where things really went down hill.

Ktheone ,

Yeah, I can understand you, well we are over reddit as a whole now 🙂
