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 🎉
Nah we just have regular old crypto shill people instead
Cryptoscam bots don't target us yet!
It's been a hard habit to break after 15 years, but I'm getting there.
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
RIP Apollo.
Same haven't been back since I joined lemmy in June.
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.

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.

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 you favorite dating tips? Help me write my fluff article."

The enshittification is nearing completion.
Sphincter 1 or sphincter 2?
Unrelated, but has anyone noticed that almost all posts and comments have at least one downvote?
When you have a platform with multiple millions of people, everyone is gonna be hated by someone

This is clearly the trend for Reddit- posts in general interest subs are frequently reposts by bots and commented on by bots that are karma farming so that they can post and upvote these scams.
The scary thing is that this would be easier to accomplish on Lemmy, we just aren’t big enough to be worth their time yet.
This isn't infuriating at all. Where's my !schadenfreude community?
Be the change you want to see in the fediverse
“Nah I’d rather just sit back and silently upvote while someone else provides the content / comments”
So many threads have tons of upvotes but less than 10 comments

The same crypto scam, must be a bot army
Man, it's almost like we warned them this would happen
Stop going to Reddit?
I'm sorry op, I tried to summon all of my fucks, but alas, there were none to give
Behold the field in which I grow my fucks. Lay thine eyes upon it and thou shalt see that it is barren
Spez can drown in the shitpile he's created
nazi digg deserves it.
Gross
More like mildlyexpected
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.

WTF kinda subs are you subbed to, dude?
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?

It should straight up be illegal to manipulate a platform like this using bots tbh.
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.

munching popcorn
Spez's plan to increase Reddit profitability for the shareholders was to implement NFTs. This is unsurprising.
I'm out of the crypto loop. (Happily.) WTF is an "airdrop"?
Don’t know for sure, but stuff like this is usually fake promises of free crypto and money. Like a “faucet” site to phish your info and probably scam your wallet or account

The crypto and buy GME spam from the groupthink "investment" subs was one of my biggest annoyances on Reddit. I used to love some of the investment subs, they got utterly ruined by the GME spam. Every other post is about trying to pump and dump some short squeeze stock.
The saddest part is so many of them don't even realize it's just a bunch of pump and dumps and hold the bag on stocks forever. There's still so many of them screaming about how GameStop or AMC is a good investment. Failing outdated business models, good investments because people short the stock. Sound logic.
