I decided to take a peek at Reddit to see what kind of activity is happening, a good handful of the subreddits I am subscribed to are still super active with posts and commenters.
There’s quite a few news articles on the front page regarding Spez and the blackouts, I am surprised those articles are even still up for people to see.
The comment section is filled with people saying how they should just kick the mods out of the dark Reddit’s and take over, ofcourse these posts are heavily upvoted…
Perhaps there is some AI activity going on, I mean it’s kind of easy to do in this day and age. You just prompt an army of AI bots to defend Reddit, and try to keep users engaged.
I am so happy I found Lemmy, and I am so happy that there is a comfortable level of activity. Sure it’s only a small fraction of what Reddit is activity wise, but it’s so much more hearty and welcoming.
Reddit has just turned into one big toxic mess. Lemmy reminds me of what Reddit used to be 10 years ago.
I’m shocked by the content I’ve seen over there. I know quite a few reddit users IRL and none of them support what spez is doing. I think you are right about AI being involved in some if the posts.
Nah. All the pro-blackout folks left. So now only assholes remain.
Well, I hope they have fun playing with each other.
It’s hard to believe people actually support corporate kicking mods out for protesting lol
Yeah pretty sure there’s some AI activity going on with that shit, either that or people from the company are making posts and using their powers to add a bunch of upvotes. It’s feels like the twilight zone
Same here. I’ve never seen this on Reddit, the historically most pro-protest site you’ve ever heard of.
I don’t know if this is legitimate users or not, but it made me delete my account in disgust. If the user base has changed that much then I’m truly a frog in boiling water.
