Hopefully Reddit is next. World news, technology, and pretty much every big name subreddit could use a shutdown. I get wayyyy more replies on Lemmy than I ever did on "active" reddit posts with supposedly 4k comments. It got to the point that I would be surprised anytime someone replied to me.

Hi! This is a reply to you! Do you enjoy being social? These are words I am typing! WEEEEEEE!!!!!

[–] 404found@lemmy.zip 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I would never see a comment like that on Reddit unless 800 bots upvoted it.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I mean.....in the year 2022 reddit awarded me the 1% award. I just went all year, making my own stupid little comments. I'm only on social media (reddit, and now lemmy) to entertain myself.

Then they gave me this award, and said I was in the top 1% of karma earners for the year.

I still don't know if I should be proud, or ashamed of that.

I really liked what /r/SaaS did:

Looks like a post, but the image makes it clear it's bot bait. Reply to the post and get banned. LOL.

Oh it’s easy bb. Hijack top comments and always say things in a controversial way.

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

r/worldnews has been a Zionist ran and bottled shithole for most if not all of its existence.

The fact Ghislaine Maxwell was proven to be a moderator there, and the fact the rest of those mods knew of and were in on it, should've immediately resulted in a total shutdown.

Aww, they failed to clone the structure of Reddit.

Organized spam is dead. Back to regular spam.

[–] artyom@piefed.social 6 points 4 months ago

I wonder how much of that spam comes from xAI

[–] Zen_Shinobi@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

X is completely fill with spam! I get 5+ spam PM daily

Glad I deleted my profile last year. Good riddance. I hadn't used it at all since Fascelon took over so it was way overdue.

[–] Zen_Shinobi@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I mostly post nsfw on it, but since migrating to Mastodon and Bluesky, I get way more traction there.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You post nsfw stuff on social media like on X, BS and Masto?

[–] Zen_Shinobi@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)
[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm guessing under a pseudonym. 😬

[–] Zen_Shinobi@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Of course! 😁 I would never use my real name unless somehow I get stupid famous and paid by a studio

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Anyone still using corporate social media deserves what they get.
