I decided to take a peek at Reddit to see what kind of activity is happening, a good handful of the subreddits I am subscribed to are still super active with posts and commenters.

There’s quite a few news articles on the front page regarding Spez and the blackouts, I am surprised those articles are even still up for people to see.

The comment section is filled with people saying how they should just kick the mods out of the dark Reddit’s and take over, ofcourse these posts are heavily upvoted…

Perhaps there is some AI activity going on, I mean it’s kind of easy to do in this day and age. You just prompt an army of AI bots to defend Reddit, and try to keep users engaged.

I am so happy I found Lemmy, and I am so happy that there is a comfortable level of activity. Sure it’s only a small fraction of what Reddit is activity wise, but it’s so much more hearty and welcoming.

Reddit has just turned into one big toxic mess. Lemmy reminds me of what Reddit used to be 10 years ago.

        I don’t get why people who are still happy with reddit go out of their way to make accounts here to complain at people over leaving reddit. If it’s really great over there, redditors shouldn’t give a flying fadoodle about how many left.

        They’re also just creating more user activity here lmao. I’m not going to see an angry person commenting and think “Oh yes, I want more of that.” and go back to reddit. I’m going to think “Nope.” and keep my distance.

        That behaviour is a great way to make sure more people stay away from reddit.
