It finally happened. After 8 years of usage, R*ddit decided to force me to prove my age to even see the front page. I absolutely refuse to give them my face or ID, so I guess it's finally time to let the dumpster fire go. I hope the platform burns to the ground asap. Really hope its current state generates more activity here, Lemmyverse really does seem like what Reddit should have been.

It's alright here (I'm also super new here) tho there's way less content going around here than on reddit, gotta get to work posting and commenting here to make it more active (personally) I feel you have a bigger stake on keeping a community active when it's smaller like this

    You mean less AI spam, and advertising? Reddit's content is long gone.

    The only thing is the remnant of finding recent issues/solutions because Reddit is google crawled, and Discord is not (yet)

    Yeah the amount of seemingly spam posts from new subreddits that hit the front page is absurd. The same content will be posted several times, from several subreddits all with thousands of up votes.

    That's one of the biggest issues I see, having to go to reddit to find tech help or general info/advice.

    People kinda go and bunch up together, then magnetize and start drawing in more and more people to the black hole, takes energy not go fall into the big socials. Most people are to lazy to care about alternatives
