- Users are concerned that this moderation tactic could be abused or just improperly implemented.
There are still human users over on reddit? This must change. More punishment on reddit please!
Delusional. There’s like 100 users on Lemmy. Reddit has grown its userbase this year.
I think it’s a joke about dead internet theory, rather than userbase size
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Internet_theory
The joke comes from an increase in bot use on Reddit, and the subsequent false positive / false negatives in trying to figure out which ones are bots
Lemmy has that problem too, but it’s much smaller in scope. Mostly because there’s less of a reason to try and control the narrative on this smaller platform, but also because the goals are different. Lemmy instances get no benefit from a bunch of fake engagement, and public upvotes makes it easier to catch manipulation
Most users on Lemmy are Delusional. especially here in /c/Technology – turns out, this community isn’t for technology at all, but rather for bitching about silicon valley companies.
Is it exactly like reddit technology sub
[email protected] is decent if you’re looking for the more technological side, since the rules filter out
Hell yeah, thanks for the suggestion!
Technobitching in the valley. You just prefer boring conference-tier activities with slideshows, mumbling and occasional pafos hand clapping.
