Billionaire Tesla CEO and Trump ally Elon Musk allegedly pressured the CEO of social media platform Reddit to stifle users criticizing him or President Donald Trump, leaving platform moderators furious.
They exchanged messages just before the subreddit r/WhitePeopleofTwitter was given a temporary ban for 72 hours
I agree and haven’t returned but lemmy hasn’t hit critical mass yet… Like I don’t recall a post with over a hundred replies. Reddit used to have over a thousand on every reply on the first page.
Might be your settings. When I flip the front page to “Active” most of the posts have hundreds of comments (though I prefer setting it to “Top Six Hours”).
Tbh I’ve decided I can live with less and less of this. I’ll never go back to the giant ad covered spaces. But if this doesn’t pickup or even dies, meh
I mean, does it really matter? Are you going to read 100 responses on a single post? I feel from Reddit that the larger communities get the shittier they get. More people = smaller intersection of common ground, which leads to dull content and repeating platitudes.
Because they have a monopoly on old and especially niche knowledge/communities (also new niche knowledge/communities). As much as I hate it, that’s why I personally still have to use reddit sometimes.
Reddit died June 2023
I don’t know why people are still playing with the corpse

I’ve never considered that a limitation.
You only need one other person in addition to yourself, for a good discussion.
If anything, here I’m finding I actually get replies, because my comment didn’t drown among a hundred others.
I never really thought of it like this despite it being obvious. Very well said

I like “Hot” and “Top Six Hours” myself. “Scaled” and “New” aren’t bad if you’re looking for more content.
You obviously weren’t here for the guy who didn’t want to poop for days. There were a LOT of replies on that one.
Like 6 good ones and a bunch of the same tired comments about poop knives, broken arms, same, this.
Here, at least most of the answers are real human beings trying to contribute to a conversation.
Reminds me of the scene in 300 when he asks how many warriors they brought. We brought real comments.

Legitimately who cares though? You‘re not in it for the money with Reddit either.
Same, once they violated certain principles, it was clear the site was dead. We need to do our best to build lemmy into something. It’ll take years.
Some people are just into that kind of thing.
