    Then again…X is arguably still a better social media platform than reddit is…

      No. At this point Reddit is evil because it’s censoring anti-fascist content and organizing. It’s becoming a Nazi bar just like the rest of them.

      Spez is only less evil because he doesn’t have enough money to be in the oligarch club. He’s just one of their toadies. He’d absolutely be the same way if anyone actually gave him the power they have.

        Reddit has been about soft power for a while now. Ever since they scapegoated Ellen Pao, imo. They’ve been changing things relatively slowly compared to Twitter in terms of enshitification, and being more careful about who they piss off at any given time. They’ve become more emboldened ever since they banned 3rd party apps, as now they are allowing bot farms and bad actors that commented on behalf of the admins.

        Reddit could be seeing tons of users leaving the site daily, but they’re for sure replacing them with bots to paint a better picture and drive engagement. The same thing applies to Twitter as well. It’s why on BlueSky for instance, I don’t see ragebait dominating my feed due to the more robust moderation tools compared to Twitter and Reddit.

        Lemmy has avoided most bots due to the manual approval processes from what I can see. I think Lemmy should strongly consider implementing BlueSky’s moderation tools though.

      Nah thats just wrong. Spez has been following Musks orders, so he is exactly as evil as Musk.

      It’s just a shitpost. It’s poking fun of people being on reddit, with a screenshot from reddit. There’s no deeper commentary than that.
