It seems that activity in Reddit was considerably slower around the 1st of July, by roughly 1.5k comments per minute. (For reference: the platform usually has between 8k and 3k comments per minute.)
I wonder if there’s some way to measure their quality too, as I predict that it dropped harder than the amount.
This is why Reddit and other corporations will always win. People have no principles. These companies will just continuously screw over their consumers and the consumers will just lie down and take it.
Reddit has become “commercialised” to appeal to all demographics and when you do that, you bring in the people that don’t have the principles required to fight back.
I used baconreader for reddit and had done for years. I used reddit to navigate the current situation outside. It was great to get the information and read the comments getting a vetted response through calling out bs from other users. It was not perfect and became even worse over time but, at least it gave you some context or even new information.
Im looking for that again but with more social media platforms being suppressed to minimise communication from people that use the platform to start the conversation on topics that empower people to fight back. Same like twitter where they started to allow right wing idols to poison the public conversation so much that people just go “fuck it” and leave.
Elon is a POS and a wanna be “man with a vision” type dick with fascist inclinations, spez seems like a guy who would do whatever the popular guy is doing and they will bleed the pony till it completely collapses and all you have trumps ratchet duplicated version.
