Hopefully Reddit is next. World news, technology, and pretty much every big name subreddit could use a shutdown. I get wayyyy more replies on Lemmy than I ever did on "active" reddit posts with supposedly 4k comments. It got to the point that I would be surprised anytime someone replied to me.

    I would never see a comment like that on Reddit unless 800 bots upvoted it.

    I mean.....in the year 2022 reddit awarded me the 1% award. I just went all year, making my own stupid little comments. I'm only on social media (reddit, and now lemmy) to entertain myself.

    Then they gave me this award, and said I was in the top 1% of karma earners for the year.

    I still don't know if I should be proud, or ashamed of that.

    r/worldnews has been a Zionist ran and bottled shithole for most if not all of its existence.

    The fact Ghislaine Maxwell was proven to be a moderator there, and the fact the rest of those mods knew of and were in on it, should've immediately resulted in a total shutdown.

    Glad I deleted my profile last year. Good riddance. I hadn't used it at all since Fascelon took over so it was way overdue.

    I mostly post nsfw on it, but since migrating to Mastodon and Bluesky, I get way more traction there.

    You post nsfw stuff on social media like on X, BS and Masto?

    Anyone still using corporate social media deserves what they get.
