Companies don’t like it when you undermine their revenue stream 🤷
But why allow this subreddit at all then?
The illusion of freedom, I’m guessing.
Make a subreddit full of bots who just complain about why X, Y, and Z alternative actually suck so people just shrug and say “May as well just stay on Reddit,” while censoring genuine posts that promote viable competitors which would actually be a risk.
Looking at the subreddit, half of the feed is articles about whatever the hell New Digg is (i.e. the new project of Spez’s buddy /u/kn0thing, AKA Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian), and there are several posts just bashing Lemmy. There’s even a week-old anti-Lemmy post sitting at 0 points with almost 100 replies still on the front page of the sub, nested among other posts about Digg that received a lot more points.
Centralizing dissent makes it easier to squash
So you’re the one who literally filled my entire feed with bot spam! No matter, I blocked the whole instance.
Sorry for that. It was a bug in the code. Didn’t want to do that.

To inform people who do not know about Lemmy about Lemmy
The idea is to get people to join the Fediverse. Fediverse users can already use the service.
