I mean why buy shares of reddit? What is it doing? It's alienating users.

Literally every single change reddit has done in the past few years has angered the user base, and the bot accounts increase day by day. Go to any niche subreddit, like one for a movie series, show, video game, etc. You will see a ton of "what's your opinion of X or Y?" And it's always such a weird choice of words, and it's clearly just a bot farming engagement to inflate numbers to shareholders.

I still use reddit, but I never post or comment. I strictly do that on one of my Lemmy accounts. And every few months, something will happen to make the experience worse. Like now, the frontpage "hot" sorting is broken. Just a bunch of zero up vote posts on weird subreddits I forgot I was subscribed to. Now I can't really get the news like I used to on reddit. It's broken, and there is tall that it's a result of Elon meeting with spez to talk about moderating the surge of Elon/Teslur hate.

Fuck reddit, more niche communities need to come over here, because I'm so tired of having to go through reddit to fine things I'm interested in.

It's mostly just ambient though. No metal, punk, goth, anything of that sort probably for copyright reasons. Cool if you need something like this, but it's not replacing any streaming service/downloading albums anytime soon.

Mastodon is dead, unusable, and left a bad taste in the public's mouth. The fediverse is good for some things. But a miroblogging site where people need news fast? No.

Bluesky has already become the replacement for Twitter, and it's off to a great start. I tried mastodon, I had 3 accounts, I used it as much as I could, but as soon as I got an invite for bluesky, I stopped using it. There is no content I wish to see on mastodon.

Still a million times better than mastodon.

I will not buy or watch anything with ads. I can't stand ads. Ads represent everything wrong with the US and capitalism. Just not stop shit shoveled into our faces.

Lemmy world is the worst instance. You guys are huge libs and it's embarrassing. Get a life, spend your energy on something productive other than shitting on people on the left, while right wingers staged a coup, and are going to start cracking down on everyone's rights.
