    Speaking of negativity, how the hell do people deal with the way reddit looks now? Everytime I see it this way I am shocked.

    Avatars, ads, wasted space, weird conversation drop downs… yuck.

      most of them are bot and AI responses or posts.

      the bot responses are done by people warming up thier accounts for ban evasion to be exact(OF fans, link farmers), this seperate from the propaganda ones.

      one thing reddit REALLY hates is new accounts and old accounts with sudden activity.

      By avoiding it like the plague. They really did it didn’t it? When I used to Google something I was stoked when there was some reddit link in the results and would always go there, now I just die inside a little more when I scroll the results and the only relevants seems to be reddit.

        Yeah, and its even worse that it will only be via google. They are the only crawler allowed to index reddit now. I gave up using google unless I absolutely have to as the search results are not great anymore.

        But even if one likes google, having no competition and being the only results that are now trapped in reddit, that just sucks! We need real forums back. or lemmy needs a little more techinical answers in the communities to quit looking to reddit.
