I stumbled across a Reddit bot posting emotional rants about how bots are ruining Reddit; just to sell AI-generated books through affiliate links. A perfectly dystopian grift for the dead internet.

      This account is a violent transphobic troll.

      They post transphobic comments and calls for violence then whine about being banned from trans-friendly communities because they “just want some reasonable freedom to say what I want”

      Dude Lemmy feels so much more alive. On Reddit I have like 100 comments and 0 Karma and 0 responses. No interaction at all. Every upvoted comment is just some random generic garbage farming for validation. Lemmy is SO much more live!

        On Reddit I have thousands of comments, over 240,000 karma, and I haven’t logged in in around two years.

        But then, like with Lemmy, I picked my subreddits carefully and left when it seemed like they were being overrun with bots.

      Go scroll “All”. Find places where things are happening. Engage.
