It's Reddit starting to malfunction? - eviltoast

Is it me or Reddit is starting to malfunction and getting worse? More errors, bots, and the gradual decline of the platform itself. Parts of it don’t work on some days, and it’s starting to feel like it’s falling apart.

    Starting to? ROFL!

    It’s like 75% bots and is mostly run by mods that didn’t want to give up that last sliver of authority they got to pretend to have.

    Granted, lemmy is no better unless you like teenagers misinterpreting socialism and manufacturing outrage…

      Lemmy is not malfunctioning like Reddit is. It is not reliant on a dogshit mobile app that constantly breaks down; it is not overrun by reposts; it has no excessive advertisements. And there is far less manufactured outrage and misinterpreted socialism on Lemmy. And that’s not even getting into the fact that is is an app. Hooooooooly shit, I just hate apps on a smartphone as a maxim. That tiny fucking phone screen makes writing comprehensively, and citing sources, like trying to stack d10s using woolen gloves. It has all sorts of trinkets and rewards for browsing the damn app too (I suppose the admins know they have to goad you in), and any third-party apps trying to solve these problems were left without support. “No better” my fucking ass.

        Lemmy is no better. It’s users only thinks it is because its full of smug people that need things to mean what they want them to.

        There is no nuance here at all. It’s the same hive-mind with a different directive.
