Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
A lot of it is Ai generated now and you'll see the same comments over and over again, even in the same thread.
I knew there was a lot of bots and manufactured posts throughout reddit, but the recent trends in Ai make it feel like the people behind these aren't even trying anymore.

it also doesn't help reddit much that a bot detection service that caught something like 100-150k bots so far shut down nearly all operations due to the api pricing and reddit's behavior over the protest. they stopped detection of new bots and are only keeping the lights on for three months to let any unbans roll in.
(they're not unbanning bots though, just giving people a fair appeal process, something reddit inc itself could learn from)
Honestly I'm enjoying Lemmy for that reason: I've seen incredibly little rage bait. People are more likely to conversate and so on, even if it is for my silly little jokes (I like to make people laugh most of the time).
This gives me an early Internet feel, and I mean that in the best way possible. I really hope Lemmy continues to grow in time.
right-wing-trolls everywhere - I'm really pissed - same shit with twitter recently
Technically true, but emphasis on "current" implies you think it has changed which I don't really agree with.
There used to be more porn
I joined reddit for porn
I see people trying to post politics and ragebait on the fediverse all the time too. It’s annoying having to block all of the politics and ragebait feeds that federate from different instances lol
