pageEvery single rising post on Reddit is crypto spam
The Picard ManeuverUnrelated, but has anyone noticed that almost all posts and comments have at least one downvote?
candyman337When you have a platform with multiple millions of people, everyone is gonna be hated by someone
it was always mind boggling to be on a sub reddit, like say for King of the Hill and someone posts an innocent quote from the show or something and they just randomly have two downvotes for some reason.
NicoCharruaOn reddit? Vote % is fuzzed a little to prevent spambots or something.
On lemmy I haven’t noticed that
Well they changed their algo, it doesn’t work like that anymore
DeebsterDid they? This is the first I’ve heard of it, was it a recent change?
Jo MiranIt’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.
Same, when the app I used stopped working, I tried the reddit default one and bailed out after like 5 minutes of using that ad riddled shitpile
RIP Apollo.
I still have it installed and even though it doesn’t and will never work, I still like to open it, and once again have it yet to retrieve posts only to return “forbidden”. I do it for old time’s sake, like a digital pouring one out for RIF and the Reddit I used to know.
FredselfishSame haven’t been back since I joined lemmy in June.
You’ll turn into a pile of salty salt if you look back. Don’t do it 😀
Lol oh I understand that reference and agree I will keep looking forward. But never did get around to deleting my account.
They have yet to kill old, but I assume it’s coming, and there’s no way I’m tolerating the new interfaces.
I still have to google search reddit when I’m looking for specific info like opinions on games. Unfortunately lemmy’s not reasonable to search, and Reddit has a much bigger userbase with a longer time to accumulate info about most topics.
Same here
Reddit just that niche 3 sentences of extremely specific scenarios I need
The best way I’ve found to search lemmy and kbin is using trystract.com with the discussions optic.
Flying SquidI always enjoy a bit of schadenfreude in the morning.
We are so irrelevant that cryptoscam bots don’t target us 🎉
Mac users know that feel

"You’re a fat little girl, aren’t you Mac?
“Nooooo”
“SAY IT!”
“I’m a fat little girl”
Cryptoscam bots don’t target us yet!
Nah we just have regular old crypto shill people instead
KIM_JONG_JUICEBOXCourse it doesn’t stop the CSAM spammers ☹️
Went to reddit to see what the top posts were. Not much has changed.
“I kicked a puppy. AITA?” “Gang of teens beat up an elderly homeless guy. Not ragebait.” “What are you favorite dating tips? Help me write my fluff article.”
So the same shit as here, except for the "look at how bad Reddit is now" posts?
99% of lemmy posts are reposts from reddit.
There is currently a top voted post that says “netflix lost 200k users, crackdown backfired”
Netflix gained 5.9 million users in the same period. Lemmy users are just as woke as redditors.
That’s not accurate. The article is about Australia. Netflix Australia had a net loss of 200K subscribers specifically due to the anti-consumer moves they’ve made which affects a lot more than just sharing a password with a family member. That’s a 3% decline in a major country. Meanwhile, Netflix rivals had subscriptions increase overall and several saw huge surges. Netflix remains #1 by total subscribers in Australia, but that shouldn’t shock anyone given the inherit momentum they possess.
The article was never about Netflix globally. It was always about Australia. Companies operate business units in regions, and each region must perform.
you forgot “Men have it so much harder than women and here’s an entire fucking essay on why you bitches!!”
The comments are just so much worse than the top posts. It is akin to Twitter after Musk pushed the main active user base away in exchange for a Faustian deal with right wingnuts. That or Reddit was truly duplicitous in their messaging and are perfectly fine taking money from propaganda organizations running in other countries which can pay the API fees to push narratives still. Not that they’d want that before an IPO or anything…
Since I heard about the API price hike I thought maybe it was to push the many left wing users away, after the example of twitter. I sound like a conspiracy nut, but I always thought there might be many people out there who don’t like how many left wing voices where on reddit.
Uranium3006The API kerfuffle finally gave us the critical mass ofbusers to make it viable, and it's only uphill from here
How was it here before the reddit drama? I’m only a reddit refugee myself.
I mean… I like seeing that it’s clearly going way down hill and fast.
The enshittification is nearing completion.
I_Miss_DanielSphincter 1 or sphincter 2?
Where we are going we don’t need eyes sphincters.
Spez can drown in the shitpile he’s created
ThalesAnd their new Elmo-like system to pay mods will make this type of spam worse as mods will be incentivized to allow this crap.
Is there even payment? I was under the impression it was simply digital awards similar to what is already on user profiles. It seems like it only affects the modsupport subreddit. Is there something I missed?
What are they doing now? I must have missed that news because that sounds wild
I’m sorry but who even ever sorted by rising on Reddit? Come on now
Up until recently it’s been a great way to see a lot of diverse and new content instead of the same dozen lowest common denominator shit posts that stay on the front page all day.
Shit like this is why people will leave reddit and never come back.
nazi digg deserves it.
What a fucking disingenuous post. I can go to reddit now, and most rising posts are about things that interest me, because i subscribe to subreddits that match my interests. If you subscribe to Crypto scam subreddits, you can't go here and whine about it. Curate your timeline, just like you need to do here.
I'm so sick off all the FUD about reddit. Yes, the reddit management are basically pure evil, I agree. But reddit itself was barely affected by the exodus.
These are the rising posts on /r/all, not my feed. I’ve used /r/all/rising for years because it gives more frequent and diverse posts than the same couple dozen lowest common denominator posts that stay on the front page all day.
The only people I’ve ever seen use the term “FUD” have been cryptobros lol
Why so much salt at people hating on crypto?
I didn't write a single positive word about crypto. I even changed "spam" to "scam".
I am salty at people hating on reddit with tailored examples to "prove" how shit it has become. It's basically people trying to tell themselves that things are much better here, and reddit has turned to shit since they left. My guess is that they actually think the content here is kinda sparse, so they need to keep telling themselves they did the right thing.
The only people I’ve ever seen use the term “FUD” have been cryptobros lol
For the record, “FUD” had a long history before crypto was even invented. In fact, in an Internet context I’d say it was much more closely associated with Microsoft nonsense than with crypto nonsense.
Fear, uncertainty, and doubt about reddit though? Weird. I thought we all just didn’t like the site?
𝚜𝚑𝚊𝚍𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚐You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
Yet, you are here contributing to the discussion about it.
But reddit itself was barely affected by the exodus.
True, but only for now. There’s a single leading alternative as a result of the exodus, and theoretically you can only enshittify something so much before people start to leave en mass.
Spez’s plan to increase Reddit profitability for the shareholders was to implement NFTs. This is unsurprising.
I’m sorry op, I tried to summon all of my fucks, but alas, there were none to give
