My reason is that Reddit has opened a representative office in Turkey. This means the government can hand over IP addresses whenever it wants. In short, I came to Lemmy because freedom is gone. Fuck Reddit.

    Two things:

    I’m pretty sure more than half of the topics now are AI

    Every topic on Reddit, no matter how serious, turned into a contest to see who could come up with the best one-liner in the comments.

      The amount of AI slop on Reddit these days is insane. A decade ago I could spend hours a day browsing interesting discussions, now I spend 5-10 minutes and I’m done.

        Right? There used to be some great stories and comments now it all seems so white washed. Any vulgarity or dark humor more than likely gets you banned so does calling out Nazis.

        Some of the best stories found on reddit by all time wouldn’t be allowed to be posted today. They remain to drive traffic. But post it today and they more than likely get removed and the user banned
