I don’t participate in any threads I just read nosleep lol

Actually I don’t read any threads other than bestofredditorupdates because I don’t trust the fodder of people that stuck around either!

And now some people don’t count as people

Holy shit How did it feel to be so content and one second later realize you didn’t ever own what you accepted as reality?

I read every word and couldn’t have written it better myself. It’s a perfect letter to every nasty money hoarding dragon out there…the grinches stuck in time that never reform. Just take and take and take, glad that we rebuild, because it just creates more to take

Been on the internet a long time myself…earliest chat I can remember is something called PowWow? We could see each other type in real time…same thing as the writer though…no bad memories…just kinda talked to whoever :)

It’s right under “bot account” on my screen…I’m on the desktop site though (thru my phone but still)

Yep, just found it the moment I realized it was a thing in this thread - go to your account settings and you’ll find an option to unselect bot accounts

I wish there was a way to just mark bot accounts…like finding out it’s a bot doing most the posting in TIL…wtf is that? If the community needs a bot to grow it, perhaps it’s not an important community on Lemmy at this time? Perhaps there’s another sub that’s going to grow more organically? In which we will infact learn something today?

Just want bot-less communities (other than fun/helpful ones that aren’t Grond) that aren’t headed by greed. Jfc.

Yeah, and they shut down the sister sights (OOC and nosleepfinder)

The stories aren’t getting much for upvotes anymore, but I’ve usually stuck with the archives. What’s killing me is not linking stories in nosleepfinder. That was my favorite pass time at night lol…my little bit of good in the world

Someone had posted the idea of unsubbing from everything so the numbers weren’t inflated and I thought that was a good idea…so I did one by one and it just sucks, lots of good, obscure communities. Dumb convos. I really loved the politics megathreads especially, since literally no one else in my life carew like me lol

But I just have no interest in going back. And honestly I wasted too much time on Reddit. And Lemmy is my go to, and soon I’ll use it for news/info etc without all the absolute timewasting

I didn’t think of that! The inflated subscriber count!

Reddit seems so clunky compared to Lemmy now. I used the official ap anyway so the whole 3rd party thing didn’t actually affect my direct experience. But obviously their actions affect us all.

Anyway, I like using lemmy straight on the mobile browser, just looks so much nicer among other things
