I was banned from subreddits more often for opposing the open advocation of totalitarianism than anything else.

Reddit had a lot of “zombie” content: old popular content that was scraped and reposted by karma farming bots. If you spent way too much time lurking, you’d start to notice that you’d seen almost every post before (probably 6 months prior). It definitely has more real content than Lemmy currently does, which is why we must nourish and protect our precious little sapling of a content aggregator.
How many times must they be sued for this exact thing? It would be nice if they faced some real consequences this time.
Couldn’t agree more. People here need to be okay with the possibility that Reddit continues to be popular even though it will continue to be the same scummy company that treats its users like cattle. Those of us who care about that kind of stuff are a minority of the users. There are likely tens of thousands of people who lurk Reddit, click the ads, and don’t even know about the API debacle… and that’s okay, we should all let it go.
I hope the extreme polarization and just general toxicity doesn’t last here. I get that Reddit is perfectly designed to split people into tribes, and I hope that’s not true of this site as well.
