Article’s headline, not mine!
I disagree, with the headline, but it does at least mention astroturfing etc.
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
“It’s a very empathetic place,” she says of Reddit. “For my wedding, I’ve found help emotionally, logistically and inspiration-wise.”
Empathetic? Really?! On reddit?!!
Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of good people still using it. But there are a ton of assholes and trolls poisoning a lot of discussions, deliberately antagonizing people, or derailing conversations with pedantic bullshit.
If she thinks Reddit is empathetic she’d be blown away by most of the Fediverse.
Smaller subs definitely had plenty of empathetic people, but if you’re going in the bigger subs, its a cesspool of scum and villainy.
It really depends on the community to be fair. Smaller ones feel more like here.
At that point, why not just be here though.
Shit is shit. I don’t care if it was defecated by human or robot.
Their capture by US feds and banning people who speak out against US foreign influence operations would lead me to believe otherwise.
