It's difficult for me to give any less of a shit about Reddit. I'm perfectly happy with Lemmy.

    It's been a hard habit to break after 15 years, but I'm getting there.

    Luckily for me reddit made it easy by killing 3rd party apps and I only ever browsed it with RiF.

    What a terrible Lemmy clone...

    At least they are not doing the Twitter/X thing where they impersonate celebrities to push crypto... yet.

    Lemmy Silver is the only fake Internet money I endorse.

    This is clearly the trend for Reddit- posts in general interest subs are frequently reposts by bots and commented on by bots that are karma farming so that they can post and upvote these scams.

    The scary thing is that this would be easier to accomplish on Lemmy, we just aren’t big enough to be worth their time yet.

    Unrelated, but has anyone noticed that almost all posts and comments have at least one downvote?

    In a few years Reddit will "rebrand" as a link aggregation site.

    It's the last stage of a social media platform's demise.

    Essentially it's a giveaway/handout/distribution to people who fulfill some criteria. There was one coin that gave away significant amounts (>1k USD) to early users and since then it has become kinda popular. Because who would turn down something free?!

    Except its not free. For starters, you'd usually have to pay significant network fees to claim the airdrop, and second the money has to come from somewhere. It's the same with government printing money and distributing some to the people, in the end we all pay for it with inflation. So yeah, pretty scammy overall.

    I bet there are absolutely no bots at work on the platform!

    More like mildly amusing. This is what happens when you basically get rid of or dissuade your volunteer mods from doing free work for you.

    When 5 of the shown groups are obviously crypto related why is it a surprise? Bots push all kinds of stuff to the top in other popular subs, crypto subs are just getting more targeted bots instead of some tiktok clip.

    It should straight up be illegal to manipulate a platform like this using bots tbh.

    And their new Elmo-like system to pay mods will make this type of spam worse as mods will be incentivized to allow this crap.
