    They don't want people jumping ship. How else are the billionaires supposed to control the narrative.

    50+% of the users are bots on reddit anyways.

    Why are you sucking reddits dick so hard?

    Any amount of bots posing as humans is not cool

    Im not, and you can take your Reddit flavored conversation back there with you please!

    Where instead of actually engaging in a topic, you instead resort to personal attacks, and then followup with something that doesn't even address the original comment to begin with.

    Begone with that bullshit.

    Interesting. I didn't know it was active really. People tend to use r/fediverse or r/redditalternatives.

    All of the subs I previously visited are being taken over by marketing campaigns and I find it is getting increasingly worse over time. They are slowly pushing out all the real users that generated the value of the site. The end game has to be just bots posting to bots.

    im not surprised, the bots often go for unmoderated subs, because they wont be detected or shadowbanned as fast if they were in a normal modded sub. im in a forum where they often target subs with low moderation to pedal thier OF, or "business". Also because subs are very hard to obtain by a user if it becomes unmoderated.

    Yes but it's empty. I made it just so someone else couldn't.

    Lemmy happens to be the most free social network at the moment, which is enough to raise the ire of every other billionaire owned fascist social network.

    I await the week of dreadful news when they start using their immense wealth to take down instances via DDoS attacks, one by one...

    I don't know; I have neither the interest nor time to run one, and I have seen at least one go down recently (Lemmy.one) partly because of how complicated the whole system actually is. Individual enthusiasts may not have the resources to keep up against the long-term might of Meta, Reddit, etc. if they develop dedicated attack teams.

    Hope springs eternal, though.

    I think lemmy.today has been getting hit by bots. I remember someone mentioning the attack increasing over time.

    Yeah its a bit slower sometimes during the attacks but seems to stay up. Admin posted they blocked some chinese ip ranges due to massive bot crawlings so maybe someone got upset. :)

    Yeah i should look into hosting my own just in case but I'm not tech savvy enough and don't have the time to learn at the moment.

    Still to busy trying to not go to jail from running my own company and never being sure if I'm doing tax stuff right

    This is reddit.
    Nobody has to explain anything here.

    It's basically Stalinism

    I'm glad they cleared that up, if people believe this shit, and the spooky stalin stories why are they still using reddit? Won't stalin find out? I hear he's got spys everywhere, maybe even in this thread!

    I mean occums Occam's Razor, are we sure the mod(s) didn't delete their accounts leaving the community unmoderated or something?

    Why even bother? Let them fucking die in Reddit. They choosed it, not us!
    "But, but, but Reddit has communities that we don't have here" make one and promote it.

    Ps: talking about Reddit when we said we gonna abandon it, does the opposite.

    Its way better than it used to be. I don't know if that's just because there's less drama happening right now regarding reddit, but I didn't get a flooded front page when reddit's chatbot citations started plummeting which is a huge improvement over the past.

    I don't think we should never talk about reddit, but I think it gets really annoying when people start clickbait spamming with Reddit headlines which hasn't happened in a while.

    Amazed it existed at all. Reddit has been aggressive about censoring out the existence of rival platforms for years now.

    The sub creator got suspended. Checked the Wayback Machine on their profile reveals they are very vocal about certain political issues in Lebanon (in April 2025, last archive). There is a very high chance of something related to that.

    Never knew the suspension of a sub creator (if they are the only mod) leads to a ban of the sub.

    I vaguely see the logic, but surely it would be better first make a call for new mods

    They're cracking down hard! Gotta be aware of shadow removing.
