Yea the mods have to enforce the rules of the subreddit. But there’s nothing stopping them from changing the rules. Malicious compliance!

I feel like that entirely depends on the subreddits you’re subscribed to. For me I have an /r/WTF post at 13, and then not another default sub until… an /r/AdviceAnimals post at 47.

While I love Lemmy and will continue to contribute to it. My reddit experience feels very much the same as it always has. The key was to abandon most of the large subs a long time ago.

that those users are moving to ad-free sites

When I check my ublock origin for this site, it says 0 blocked trackers and ads out of 0%. That’s so refreshing. I don’t think I’ve seen a website like that in decades.

It was over a long time ago for me when I realized that most AAA games were all the same. Might as well wait until they’re $20 anyway.

The enshitification of everything is underway.
