“about to become” my ass.
At this point regardless of the quality of your ass it would be a vast improvement.
Reddit is basically a free media content farm & astroturfing paradise, at this point.

Yesterday I clicked on All/Rising and 20 of the top 25 posts were 9 year old accounts with no karma each announcing a different subreddit that was created an hour earlier with no posts in them.
suspicious.
I wonder how much could I sell my 12 yo reddit account for with 0 posts
I tend to try to open their eyes from time to time, not sure if it is worth it.
The fact that you used Imgur for this comment strikes me as ironic
Not my fault, I tried twice to upload the image here and it did not work, perhaps for the aggressive limited storage size of my instance… Anyway imgur is the only app that I have for quickly upload shit.
Imgur is such a fetid pit of ‘engagement’
Advertise Lemmy there. It’s barely mentioned in the discussion.
They are a bit late to the party aren’t they?
Isn’t this more of a consequence of reddit’s user count? How is Lemmy less vulnerable to bots?
every single report by a user matters more as they’re sent to every federated instance
For example:
As a user of instance ‘a’ if you don’t like your moderators’ actions/inactions, now you can easily jump to instance ‘b’ which still provides you access to the previous communities that you were subbed todue to this interconnected complex system, instance admins and moderators are more likely to take reports seriously and attempt to provide their users with the most reasonable services and logic
all of which means that bot accounts are highly scrutinized than regular users
sorry for the long explanation but I hope this helps you understand how and why🤗
Feels like watching ants’ colony get destroyed
