Needs more fire
- I like that on Lemmy I can share a viewpoint contrary to both the current black and white views, and people will take the time to read my entire comment, share their views on it, agree or disagree with me, but at the end of the day it's a discussion.
  
  It's like pre-2014 reddit.
It's not on fire? And the bin is still relatively undamaged?
- it's too soggy with piss.
oh damn, impressive levels of text gen on new AI models huh?
- Yep! It's been really fun to mess around with... well until my preview credits ran out, anyway :P
the place definitely has the feel of all the cool people having departed. it's degraded a great deal.
You sad little trolls are weird. Reddit is just fine. Same shit every day. Nobody even gives a shit about Lemmy whining.
- Says the guy who logged into Lemmy to post his negative comment, lmao
  
  Myspace is also doing great, BTB
- Maybe for you it's fine, but for me, Reddit's quality content seems dropping. Some moderators claimed that they are having a hard time moderating subreddit after Reddit killed third party software, not to mention some users decide to delete posts and comments before quitting Reddit permanently. Some if not most of Reddit's users have trust issues with Reddit after Reddit killed third party software and prevented users from opting out of personalized ads. Who knows what else they will do in the future, but it seems likely to be not good. It's the same case as Unity or EA.
  
  I've gotten so used to talking about BG3 that I was wondering what you had against Early Access for a moment there 😄
- He said, whining while obviously giving a shit 😂
- I'm posting here because yesterday evening I decided to open kbin after a month or so to check if it still kind of sucks, and it still does, so I'm not one shilling this place. But reddit has gotten much worse in the last 6 months. Dumber, less moderated usually in the bad way (because when it's already dumb, less moderation doesn't help), and the last major issue for me is that they started using their own version of "the algorithm" - an algorithm that pushes things you don't necessarily like for more engagement. The frontpage suddenly contains like twice as many controversial and ragebait subs. And some subs that used to get a ton of organic engagement are pushed down, for example posts at /r/polandball get about 5x - 10x fewer upvotes than before.
  
  I do not have a sane alternative for Reddit, but if you think it's just fine, your standards are low and/or you haven't been there very long.
  
  Try lemmy, it's pretty okay.
  
  I do not understand the idea that forcing stuff on you that you're not interested in would increase engagement. It just makes me disappointed and I leave. Facebook has been doing that for a long time now, and as a result, I hardly ever go there anymore. How does that strategy make sense to them from a business perspective? Is it all paid content or something?
- My reddit feed doesn't even show the subreddits I'm subscribed to half of the time anymore
  
  Ah, taking the Facebook - force everything you've blocked 1000 times upon you, while hiding what you're there for - approach, are they? What a bunch of assholes.
  
  I occasionally login to view subs that aren't getting views on lemmy. I use old reddit with res a d it works pretty well.
  
  But I don't read reddit on mobile.
