It's difficult for me to give any less of a shit about Reddit. I'm perfectly happy with Lemmy.
We are so irrelevant that cryptoscam bots don’t target us 🎉
Mac users know that feel
It's been a hard habit to break after 15 years, but I'm getting there.
Luckily for me reddit made it easy by killing 3rd party apps and I only ever browsed it with RiF.
Same, when the app I used stopped working, I tried the reddit default one and bailed out after like 5 minutes of using that ad riddled shitpile
RIP Apollo.
Same haven't been back since I joined lemmy in June.
I still have to google search reddit when I'm looking for specific info like opinions on games. Unfortunately lemmy's not reasonable to search, and Reddit has a much bigger userbase with a longer time to accumulate info about most topics.
I mean.. I like seeing that it's clearly going way down hill and fast.
Went to reddit to see what the top posts were. Not much has changed.
"I kicked a puppy. AITA?"
"Gang of teens beat up an elderly homeless guy. Not ragebait."
"What are your favorite dating tips? Help me write my fluff article."
Stop going to Reddit?
The enshittification is nearing completion.
What a terrible Lemmy clone...
At least they are not doing the Twitter/X thing where they impersonate celebrities to push crypto... yet.
Lemmy Silver is the only fake Internet money I endorse.
Thanks for the warning Ms Robbie. I'm a big fan of your movies, do you have any further financial advise?
You've seen the Wolf of Wall Street right?
Do like the exact opposite of that.
Sorry to see you're still using Reddit
This is clearly the trend for Reddit- posts in general interest subs are frequently reposts by bots and commented on by bots that are karma farming so that they can post and upvote these scams.
The scary thing is that this would be easier to accomplish on Lemmy, we just aren’t big enough to be worth their time yet.
Every day the Dead Internet theory looks more and more correct.
This isn't infuriating at all. Where's my !schadenfreude community?
Be the change you want to see in the fediverse
“Nah I’d rather just sit back and silently upvote while someone else provides the content / comments”
So many threads have tons of upvotes but less than 10 comments
Unrelated, but has anyone noticed that almost all posts and comments have at least one downvote?
When you have a platform with multiple millions of people, everyone is gonna be hated by someone
I'm sorry op, I tried to summon all of my fucks, but alas, there were none to give
The same crypto scam, must be a bot army
More like mildlyexpected
Spez can drown in the shitpile he's created
I'm out of the crypto loop. (Happily.) WTF is an "airdrop"?
If you kill 10 persons in a row you can get a stealth bomber, be a chopper gunner or get an emergency airdrop. Hope that helps.
Essentially it's a giveaway/handout/distribution to people who fulfill some criteria. There was one coin that gave away significant amounts (>1k USD) to early users and since then it has become kinda popular. Because who would turn down something free?!
Except its not free. For starters, you'd usually have to pay significant network fees to claim the airdrop, and second the money has to come from somewhere. It's the same with government printing money and distributing some to the people, in the end we all pay for it with inflation. So yeah, pretty scammy overall.
Don’t know for sure, but stuff like this is usually fake promises of free crypto and money. Like a “faucet” site to phish your info and probably scam your wallet or account
WTF kinda subs are you subbed to, dude?
It's the rising posts for /r/all. So all the posts from all the subs that, if they continue to get up votes and comments, are close to being on the front page.
I bet there are absolutely no bots at work on the platform!
More like mildly amusing. This is what happens when you basically get rid of or dissuade your volunteer mods from doing free work for you.
Shit like this is why people will leave reddit and never come back.
Gross
When 5 of the shown groups are obviously crypto related why is it a surprise? Bots push all kinds of stuff to the top in other popular subs, crypto subs are just getting more targeted bots instead of some tiktok clip.
nazi digg deserves it.
It should straight up be illegal to manipulate a platform like this using bots tbh.
And their new Elmo-like system to pay mods will make this type of spam worse as mods will be incentivized to allow this crap.
