It's amazing to me just how hassle-free it is to use Lemmy as opposed to reddit.
Rddit just feels like it's actively trying to get you to leave it.
Reddit is like the late Roman Empire. It looks fine on the outside, but it's corrupt all the way down, powered by unpaid labor, and the lead pipes are slowly killing everyone.
No, no, the pipes are fine (mostly). They have calcium buildup that prevents lead leeching.
The REAL major source of lead poisoning in the Empire is much stupider - knowingly making wine syrup in lead pots because the lead makes it taste sweeter. Despite knowing that lead is toxic af.
There's probably an apt comparison in that to Reddit as well.
That's late stage capitalism baby. 😎
All time high all time!
The latest annoyance is that they will AI-translate posts and stick those into search engines.
Interesting. May I ask how?
Because with old.reddit and RES it really doesn't feel much different (apart from the vibes in the communities)
Can't even visit certain subs without their shit app.
I stopped using reddit on mobile, so I exclusively use the website. Might be different there
Yeah, old.reddit is like a dam for users that will flow with the fediverse sooner or later.
Yes, I feel like the days of old reddit are numbered. We better be ready for the influx of new users when they close it.
Vibes are def getting worse the more folks flock in from reddit.
Bad moderation is still an issue here. Like allowing people posting pictures of text or low effort meme content on comms that aren't for memes
Feel free to create Meta posts about that.
And if you reasonable meta posts gets removed, post on [email protected]
I use the report button
Sounds good, but from what you are saying, they are ignoring your reports
I guess we need more people to report it? I don't know what their admin UI looks like, but I imagine posts with more reports sort to the top?
What might happen is that mods ignore you because they don't care, and admins don't want to interfere with community level moderation
