Dunno if you were around then, but people on Digg acted the same way toward Reddit before Digg crashed.
If we stay on this platform and continue to grow and create content, then when Reddit again does something to annoy its years (they probably will), we can be here to take advantage.
The downside is that every great growth in users will affect the platform/site culture, not always for the better. It depends on the users and the size of the migration.
“Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you”
Honestly, it would not shock me if Reddit HQ was amplifying these comments. They are going to do everything they can to ensure that their IPO goes well. All we can hope for is for someone to blow the whistle.
I came here to look to see if this topic was covered. I just checked my mod queue and every single post made by my automod OR other users about Lemmy was reported multiple times for "harassment" with 40+ down votes as well. I've literally never had a full mod queue that was more than 6 things before and I had 30 or more posts to approve with 3 being actual things. What the fuck.
this confirms that there is indeed brigading behavior
No no no, see bridging is only brigading when it goes against the administrations (Reddit admin) desires.
The comments/replies to my comments that really chapped my ass were when someone was defending ads and trying to claim they didn't even know there were third party apps and we were just being babies. I don't want to have to watch two unskippable ads like YouTube just to see a meme or comment in an AskReddit or be bombarded with gas pill ads between every front page post because I typed "why am I farting more than normal?" In a toolbar five years ago, and I'm not being a baby because I don't want to give up my working product for a shit alternative that turns me into a product. I feel like Reddit is Pied Piper from 'Silicon Valley' where they hired a shit load of trolls in an office in New Delhi to gaslight us and drive up support for a highly disliked business path.
and for some bizarre reason, there are people here who want to scape all this reddit crap with a bot and dump it in our /all feed. I just dont get it.
If they want to gate-keep themselves then fine by me.
I legit joined this instance yesterday because I'm not going to trust the claims of randos (who are now very easy to see as frauds) and although I agree that Lemmy needs some work, it's responsive and reasonably usable. I'm impressed at how well it's handling the massive Reddit migration.
Bruh you know your name is fucking snoo, right? Might wanna figure out your own loyalties lol
No I haven't noticed that cause I don't go on reddit anymore. I don't give a shit what people are saying on reddit. I don't give a shit about reddit at all, it's over. That's kinda why we're all here.
That's what it felt like for me after I posted anything lol. But is it bots, is it Reddit themselves?
