Look...I know we all hate reddit cause they kicked like half of us for no good reason but like....spez doesnt even compare to how evil Musk is
Then again....X is arguably still a better social media platform than reddit is...
Ok nevermind
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.
You know what? You are right
Fuck Spez
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.
spez doesnt even compare to how evil Musk is
Nah thats just wrong. Spez has been following Musks orders, so he is exactly as evil as Musk.

If you’re still online…
If you're still breathing...
I didn't even use Twitter before the nazi bought it
I posted three times in 2008. It was enough.
I actually said “bye Fash-licia” to Reddit last week. I thought about trying to get banned for something stupid, just for the story. But instead I just quietly deleted the account.

Well, I still wouldn't consider using Reddit to be near as bad as using Shitter.
Spez would be very disappointed to hear you say that. He would immediately shoot another DM to Elon telling him he's trying real hard to be just like him.
YRORURRE
yup I got shadow banned from that hell hole after saying something mean about the orange in chief it's so pathetic, it wasn't even super bad I commented 'welcome to Trump's america' under a post about inflation skyrocketing I was on the site for 12 years no problem
it's crazy to me I didn't know they were so beholden to the right. it used to be the fascists got mad reddit was banning them. to.be banned over simply light jokes is so dystopian
not to mention.. their ban detection system is fucking 1984 shit

When Twitter-man did the salute, I deleted my old account (hadn't used it in years anyway) When Facebook-man said "no more fact checking," I deleted my old facebook (only kept it to keep in contact with, like, 2 people) When Tumblr-man banned the porn, I deleted my tumblr (you can guess why I had it) When Reddit-man said he wants to paywall the biggest subs, I deleted my reddit (also got banned but I prefer to say I did it for a better reason)
