Is it me or Reddit is starting to malfunction and getting worse? More errors, bots, and the gradual decline of the platform itself. Parts of it don’t work on some days, and it’s starting to feel like it’s falling apart.
Starting to? ROFL!
It’s like 75% bots and is mostly run by mods that didn’t want to give up that last sliver of authority they got to pretend to have.
Granted, lemmy is no better unless you like teenagers misinterpreting socialism and manufacturing outrage…
It’s the continual enshitification of the mobile website until you eventually either just fuck off, or download their app. It’s almost completely unusable now. Every single update has had tiny little breaking features to it, and all of those have finally added up to the absolute dumpster fire that it is today.
I dunno why y’all still use Reddit honestly. I follow this community to watch people slowly come to the realization it’s time to leave.
I do still search for Reddit posts when looking for opinions about products, solutions to technical problems, etc - much as I don’t want to use the platform, the quality of content is generally much higher than Quora, the Microsoft Forum, and other open discussion hubs.
I refuse to be an active user, though. I know it needs to make money, but fuck their attitude to their users and moderators.
These kind of comments remind me of the days before the digg exodus
No offense but I’ve seen this exact thing being said for like the past 10 years lol.
I’m not convinced the fediverse is a practical alternative for the masses to move to, at all.
I think Lemmy is better anyway with a smaller user base.
Enshitification
