Reddit is so untrustworthy. r/modcoord thread purges all pro-fediverse comments, then r/redditalternatives removes the thread exposing it. - eviltoast

r/redditalternatives thread: This is why I don’t trust anything on reddit. A r/modcoord thread full of anti-fediverse comments, and all of my pro-fediverse comments are removed and the mods won’t answer why. https://web.archive.org/web/20240111205116/https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/193iuf1/this_is_why_i_dont_trust_anything_on_reddit_a/

    I’ve also been pretty creeped out by how many pro-reddit people there are on lemmy. It’s really weird.

      I haven’t really seen that many, are you noticing them somewhere in particular?

      I feel like I’m more “pro-Reddit” than a lot of other users here, in that I’m supportive of people that want to use both while working on the Lemmy alternative to whatever subreddit they might still want to use.

      Some useful communities didn’t get rolling on here yet (career communities, niche hobbies and interests, social causes) and it’s ok if people want to check them to keep up. People have lives outside of Reddit/Lemmy.

      That’s about the extent of the pro-Reddit that I’ve seen on here. It’s possible you might be seeing some vote manipulation? I can take a look later too

        No, not one place in particular. All over. This thread https://sh.itjust.works/post/12661975 is a recent example. When I got there it was full of people making excuses for people staying on reddit, and I got downvoted for pointing it out https://sh.itjust.works/comment/7470095.

        I’ve even seen it in places like lemmy.world/reddit, so I’m glad that !snoocalypse@lemmy.ml exists.

        It’s possible you might be seeing some vote manipulation?

        I considered that, but it’s not just votes, there are plenty of comments too.

          Ohh ok

          Yea I personally find most of those points reasonable, but I get why you might disagree

          As for your point in that comment: If some community actively opposes migrating, then that’s likely bad and it should be called out. A lot of the communities I’ve encountered seem to have the mindset of “we are open to it but don’t have the time/energy to do it ourselves”. I’m helping with a few communities like that :)

      What communities have you found that to be the case? I’m not a power user by any means but have not seen a single comment that was pro-reddit. Just a bunch of people that hate spez as if he killed their dog.
