    Wait. I just saw another post about thousands of bot accounts joining new subs. Is this to ensure “le Reddit army” can still appear active?

    It’s just Reddit centralising control to the admins, and cracking down on dissent. It’s funny how much it mirrors real life instances of countries sliding into authoritarianism. But obviously this is just a website and doesn’t have such severe consequences.

    Huffman and the Reddit admins are scummy bastards, and all decent people should leave that platform immediately, the same as Twitter.

      Yeeeah you might want to look into how these websites fuel that slide.

      I wonder if they censor mentions of Lemmy or if all the people that left for Lemmy are gone and no one noticed. Like, why are people still there and putting up with more of Spez’s bullshit? Do they not know they can just leave?

    I am not on Reddit, but, would making a subreddit private lead to difficulty in training the AI and collecting data?
