• Kinda feel post API killing, frontpage post comments have jumped dramatically.

    Unfortunately, it’s extremely bot-like. Like AI talking to AI and chains and chains of memes/jokes. No real discussion.

    • Repost bots (and repost top comment bots) are pretty rampant. A lot of subs have changed pretty significantly because their entire mod team left. In general I get the sense it’s a lot more people now who consider reddit “social media” compared to before. Site isn’t dead for sure but it’s gone down in quality significantly.

        Unfortunately I think this is exactly what Reddit wants. They want to be social media like Instagram or TikTok style. A lot more ad money from that crowd.

        I know Reddit (and Lemmy) was always technically social media but I consider it more like Internet forums than the Facebook/Insta/TikTok style social media.
