    I’m out of the loop on Reddit, but I was beyond a power user on there two years ago. Back then, if every human user on the site stopped using the site, the admins would not have noticed any difference because nearly every post was bot networks reposting old top posts and filling the comments with the exact comments from the last time it got upvoted.

    Garbage website. I miss it for what it was capable of for a while there.

      My oldest Reddit account is 15 years old. That site is a shell of what it used to be. It’s lost almost everything that made it special in the first place. The community is also too large in my opinion. We went from well-thought-out posts, comments and questions to memes and one-liners. It’s toxic, hive minded and full of bots.

      I feel like Lemmy also has a problem with corporate troll farms.

      Reddit is far worse though with bots and establishment troll farm shill accounts.
