WTF kinda subs are you subbed to, dude?
It’s the rising posts for /r/all. So all the posts from all the subs that, if they continue to get up votes and comments, are close to being on the front page.
Not those, see the ‘join’ button?
Edit:spelling
When 5 of the shown groups are obviously crypto related why is it a surprise? Bots push all kinds of stuff to the top in other popular subs, crypto subs are just getting more targeted bots instead of some tiktok clip.

Uh, no… these are the rising posts for /r/all. I have zero interest in crypto.
It’s so messed up, those posts were covering literally everyone’s feeds. So many bots it was quite insane tbh…
More like mildly amusing. This is what happens when you basically get rid of or dissuade your volunteer mods from doing free work for you.
The same crypto scam, must be a bot army
Man, it’s almost like we warned them this would happen
There’s a scam on the Reddit front page today
It’s the same old scam as yesterday
Gross
Unrelated, but has anyone noticed that almost all posts and comments have at least one downvote?
On reddit? Vote % is fuzzed a little to prevent spambots or something.
On lemmy I haven’t noticed that
Well they changed their algo, it doesn’t work like that anymore
Did they? This is the first I’ve heard of it, was it a recent change?
When you have a platform with multiple millions of people, everyone is gonna be hated by someone
It’s difficult for me to give any less of a shit about Reddit. I’m perfectly happy with Lemmy.
We are so irrelevant that cryptoscam bots don’t target us 🎉
Course it doesn’t stop the CSAM spammers ☹️
Nah we just have regular old crypto shill people instead
Mac users know that feel
"You’re a fat little girl, aren’t you Mac?
“Nooooo”
“SAY IT!”
“I’m a fat little girl”
Cryptoscam bots don’t target us yet!
Went to reddit to see what the top posts were. Not much has changed.
“I kicked a puppy. AITA?”
“Gang of teens beat up an elderly homeless guy. Not ragebait.”
“What are your favorite dating tips? Help me write my fluff article.”
The comments are just so much worse than the top posts. It is akin to Twitter after Musk pushed the main active user base away in exchange for a Faustian deal with right wingnuts. That or Reddit was truly duplicitous in their messaging and are perfectly fine taking money from propaganda organizations running in other countries which can pay the API fees to push narratives still. Not that they’d want that before an IPO or anything…

That’s not accurate. The article is about Australia. Netflix Australia had a net loss of 200K subscribers specifically due to the anti-consumer moves they’ve made which affects a lot more than just sharing a password with a family member. That’s a 3% decline in a major country. Meanwhile, Netflix rivals had subscriptions increase overall and several saw huge surges. Netflix remains #1 by total subscribers in Australia, but that shouldn’t shock anyone given the inherit momentum they possess.
The article was never about Netflix globally. It was always about Australia. Companies operate business units in regions, and each region must perform.
So the same shit as here, except for the “look at how bad Reddit is now” posts?
you forgot “Men have it so much harder than women and here’s an entire fucking essay on why you bitches!!”
I mean… I like seeing that it’s clearly going way down hill and fast.
The API kerfuffle finally gave us the critical mass ofbusers to make it viable, and it’s only uphill from here

Agreed. Fuck Reddit
It’s been a hard habit to break after 15 years, but I’m getting there.
I still have to google search reddit when I’m looking for specific info like opinions on games. Unfortunately lemmy’s not reasonable to search, and Reddit has a much bigger userbase with a longer time to accumulate info about most topics.
The best way I’ve found to search lemmy and kbin is using trystract.com with the discussions optic.
Same here
Reddit just that niche 3 sentences of extremely specific scenarios I need
Luckily for me reddit made it easy by killing 3rd party apps and I only ever browsed it with RiF.
Same, when the app I used stopped working, I tried the reddit default one and bailed out after like 5 minutes of using that ad riddled shitpile
I still have it installed and even though it doesn’t and will never work, I still like to open it, and have it once again try to retrieve posts only to return “forbidden”. I do it for old time’s sake, like a digital pouring one out for RIF and the Reddit I used to know.
RIP Apollo.
They have yet to kill old, but I assume it’s coming, and there’s no way I’m tolerating the new interfaces.
Same haven’t been back since I joined lemmy in June.
You’ll turn into a pile of salty salt if you look back. Don’t do it 😀
Lol oh I understand that reference and agree I will keep looking forward. But never did get around to deleting my account.
I always enjoy a bit of schadenfreude in the morning.
The enshittification is nearing completion.

eyessphincters.
Spez’s plan to increase Reddit profitability for the shareholders was to implement NFTs. This is unsurprising.

Spez can drown in the shitpile he’s created

Up until recently it’s been a great way to see a lot of diverse and new content instead of the same dozen lowest common denominator shit posts that stay on the front page all day.
And their new Elmo-like system to pay mods will make this type of spam worse as mods will be incentivized to allow this crap.
Is there even payment? I was under the impression it was simply digital awards similar to what is already on user profiles. It seems like it only affects the modsupport subreddit. Is there something I missed?

Shit like this is why people will leave reddit and never come back.
We are even more vulnerable here… hopefully the scammers come slowly enough that we can develop effective defenses without scaring away our users.
nazi digg deserves it.
