I swear to god the people arguing against the fediverse are fake, their arguments are so unimaginably bad that I can’t imagine they aren’t coming from a disinformation campaign
coming from a disinformation campaign
It wouldn’t be surprising:
Oh my gosh, someone needs to contact tech news orgs
Like Ars Technica?
Even the user names are formatted in a similar fashion.
That’s reddit’s auto-generated username format. Most bots use those.
Hey, some of us just lack imagination.
Looks exactly like all the arguments against net neutrality when that fiasco went down.
The ELI5 thread yesterday where someone was asking about what was happening looked very similar to this. Nearly everyone in that thread was saying the reddit app was great and people woild be back after the protest. The upvotes just seemed fake to me, is all. One upvoted comment even said the apollo dev was lying, which confused me. Was that spez? Who knows.
That essentially how I see the internet lately on mainstream platforms… You see a lot of posters are basically putting out the most toxic crap imaginable that you essentially learns not to look at comments in certain communities particularly the News website. From all of that experiences, you can see how “Dead Internet Theory” have a lot of merit especially now that “shadowbanning” is common.
Feels kind of like learning about some unpaid traffic tickets that OJ Simpson has. Shitty thing to do, but it’s not the main reason I hate the guy.

Fuck spez
Pretty silly how that he got a lot of money in the pile, he could branch out to other digital businesses that might not necessarily be Reddit and increase his revenue, but instead, he doesn’t branch out at all and just gut his own platform and cry about it.
I know what to do here now /s
Fake it till you break it
They are breaking it alright.
They need to break it more
I mean ya, that’s not super surprising. The hardest part of getting a site to take off is adoption.
Exactly. I’m trying to spam content here so people think it’s more active. I don’t really see a problem with Reddit launching with self generated content, the important thing is the user experience once it gets going.
i wonder if all this big social platform will not end with lots of fake profile feeded with chatgpt. For your information, I’m NOT a chatgpt comment 😜
mmm… that’s exactly what chatGPT would say…
wow the LLMs can use emojis now
That’s also how they established the norms of the site. The founders wanted a particular kind of community so they made fake accounts post and vote in ways that reflected that desire. Posts with grammatically sound English were upvoted, text speak was downvoted.
oh that’s just what I did for Lemmy, and it worked!
Now its just getting sad, lol.
Edit: nvm I thought this was about today’s reddit. Its about early reddit.
That wont fix activity though
