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.
personally i’m loving the fact that they’re laughing at us in the mistaken belief that this can’t work and we’ll be back there before the end of the month, yet after a bit of lag and a couple memory overruns combined with some utterly HILARIOUS glitches they still don’t realise that the system survived its’ stress test and is in the process of being upgraded and expanded so that it can take the rest of the load (i’v heard that 20% of traffic has moved over, which is enormous) by the end of next week, we’re very easily capable of funding it entirely ourselves, and we know it
right now i’m having difficulty sitting still, waiting in eager anticipation for the horror to cross their faces when they realise that they have nobody left except for unironic trump voters. rekon it might even be the very last piece of entertainment i might get from the website
Its hilarious how over the span of like 15 hours it went from “lul 48 hours is so stupid this wont do anything to” “uh oh…this is doing something…WE DEMAND YOU OPEN OUR SUBS NOW THIS ISNT DEMOCRACY REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE”
