Reddit just isn't how it used to be. (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I left reddit on june 12th last year in protest of spez's decision to change the reddit api from being free as in free beer to an unbelievably expensive cost. That same day, I joined lemmy on a now abandoned account.

At first, I had a hard time adapting to lemmy's significantly smaller community, but I got used to it and learned to embrace it. However, recently I started missing reddit a lot more, and after some consideration, made an account on the (demonic) website.

But I don't think it felt the same way as before, sure, there was more posts, but they lacked a heart and soul, they were all so generic, as if it lost it's spark.

Has anyone else that's been on there noticed anything similar??

its all bots now. like its been getting worse and worse and i'm not surprised if theres now a much higher percentage of bots in there compared to that time.

Curiously I'm not a bot, but I keep getting banned.

only bots allowed

have you tried digging out your morality centre and posting nothing but propaganda for corporations?

That's good advice
