    I swear to god the people arguing against the fediverse are fake, their arguments are so unimaginably bad that I can’t imagine they aren’t coming from a disinformation campaign

        The ELI5 thread yesterday where someone was asking about what was happening looked very similar to this. Nearly everyone in that thread was saying the reddit app was great and people woild be back after the protest. The upvotes just seemed fake to me, is all. One upvoted comment even said the apollo dev was lying, which confused me. Was that spez? Who knows.

      That essentially how I see the internet lately on mainstream platforms… You see a lot of posters are basically putting out the most toxic crap imaginable that you essentially learns not to look at comments in certain communities particularly the News website. From all of that experiences, you can see how “Dead Internet Theory” have a lot of merit especially now that “shadowbanning” is common.

      “its soooo hard, i can’t understand it”

      but you use email fine?

      its mainly UX, there are some legit bugs, how quick can we fix them?

      Pretty silly how that he got a lot of money in the pile, he could branch out to other digital businesses that might not necessarily be Reddit and increase his revenue, but instead, he doesn’t branch out at all and just gut his own platform and cry about it.

    Feels kind of like learning about some unpaid traffic tickets that OJ Simpson has. Shitty thing to do, but it’s not the main reason I hate the guy.

    i wonder if all this big social platform will not end with lots of fake profile feeded with chatgpt. For your information, I’m NOT a chatgpt comment 😜

      I get your concern! With AI tech getting better, there could be more fake profiles run by chatbots like ChatGPT. But platforms are fighting back with verification processes and content moderation. It’s not all bots out there, so stay skeptical but trust they’re working on it!

    That’s also how they established the norms of the site. The founders wanted a particular kind of community so they made fake accounts post and vote in ways that reflected that desire. Posts with grammatically sound English were upvoted, text speak was downvoted.

    I mean ya, that’s not super surprising. The hardest part of getting a site to take off is adoption.

      Exactly. I’m trying to spam content here so people think it’s more active. I don’t really see a problem with Reddit launching with self generated content, the important thing is the user experience once it gets going.

        It still feels super small here but it’s crazy the amount of users that seem to be joining. Can’t wait to see where we are at by the end of the week.

          Yup. I’m sure there will be growing pains, but for now, things seem to work pretty well.

          I’ve run into a number of errors w/ Jerboa, so I’m going to try debugging the app to see if it’s a platform issue or something the mobile app could improve (probably both).
