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

The enshittification is nearing completion.
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.
Thanks for the warning Ms Robbie. I'm a big fan of your movies, do you have any further financial advise?
You've seen the Wolf of Wall Street right?
Do like the exact opposite of that.
What does Lemmy silver looks like?
I'm glad you asked!

This isn't infuriating at all. Where's my !schadenfreude community?
Be the change you want to see in the fediverse
“Nah I’d rather just sit back and silently upvote while someone else provides the content / comments”
So many threads have tons of upvotes but less than 10 comments
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.
Every day the Dead Internet theory looks more and more correct.
Unrelated, but has anyone noticed that almost all posts and comments have at least one downvote?
When you have a platform with multiple millions of people, everyone is gonna be hated by someone
I'm sorry op, I tried to summon all of my fucks, but alas, there were none to give
The same crypto scam, must be a bot army
In a few years Reddit will "rebrand" as a link aggregation site.
It's the last stage of a social media platform's demise.
Have you been to digg lately? It still exists.
Each link on the frontpage gets maybe 2-3 comments. 😂
If you kill 10 persons in a row you can get a stealth bomber, be a chopper gunner or get an emergency airdrop. Hope that helps.
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.
Don’t know for sure, but stuff like this is usually fake promises of free crypto and money. Like a “faucet” site to phish your info and probably scam your wallet or account
WTF kinda subs are you subbed to, dude?
It's the rising posts for /r/all. So all the posts from all the subs that, if they continue to get up votes and comments, are close to being on the front page.
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.
Shit like this is why people will leave reddit and never come back.
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.
