I remember my first experience with voat being a poll discussing whether they should ban child porn. The split was ~90% in favor of banning, 10% against. 10% is concerningly high.

Some context links go to entirely different comment chains as well.

Bots are ubiquitous in all of the pixel placers. Also swastikas.

I dunno, I get a sort of schadenfreude when Reddit fucks up bigly but I can’t say that I care enough to want to see it fail. When they screw up, the feeling isn’t so much malicious gratification but more relief at finding something better before Huffman Musked it up. Given that there’s a full community devoted to gleefully watching reddit burn, my opinion is probably in the minority. Still, glad that lemmy’s so great.

You mention downvotes? Believe it or not, reduce. You mention upvotes, also reduce. We have the best comments in the world because of reduce.

I’ve seen other posts where users have located their most recent deleted posts and comments despite their profile displaying them as deleted. If the admins said that their website was broken and slowly processing deletions then I’d believe them, it’s Reddit after all, but they instead blamed the script. This smells of beef-fed bullshit.

Request the desktop site to find the nearly full resolution picture.

That’s comparing apples and community centers; people would just leave and block this instance.

Chtorr was their name, iirc.

I really don’t understand the removal of awards. Why dump a system that makes them money for, basically, Venmo with higher fees. Who’s the target demographic for this?

What’s this ”B” thing? I’ve seen it a few times on unique accounts.

If bots don’t end up an overwhelming issue, maybe. The internet has overwhelmingly changed between the formation of Reddit and the formation of Lemmy. Novel issues and solutions will form something new.

Sounds like they’re in the market for fight milk, official drink of the ufc.

Mods are asleep, post tank man.

This is interesting, I cannot reply to iAmTheTot’s comment, but there’s no issue commenting on any other comments. Is it because they’re on kbin?

In case you’re actually curious, a bizarrely large amount. Around 4 years ago, the admins ceased banning spammers that created their own private spam subreddits, which allowed spam to proliferate and additionally made the site metrics go crazy. Spam in subreddits no one visits amounts to about 40 percent of all (posts or comments, can’t remember which) on the website. The admins delisted those subreddits from the ‘go to random subreddit’ button, so they’re acutely aware of them. If you’d like to learn more, ask some former admins.

I might sound a bit elitist, but the sort of people who would join Threads would lead to step 0 of the enblandening of the entire fediverse. Not to mention increased bot spam. I say this as someone who is likely enblandening the fediverse.

Thank you, their financials seem not to be a big concern for now. I imagine the administrators will begin posting their patreon more frequently in this instance if costs become cumbersome in the long-term. I’m not certain whether they’re dipping into their relatively sizable savings from mastodon or whether they’re keeping funding separate, but they’re not in immediate danger, nonetheless.

Any chance you could say where you found their financials? I’ve been fruitlessly searching for them for the last week.
