We’re done with the platform but there are a lot of real people still using it. I do think the quality is going to tank and they’ll continue bleeding users though.
Lemmy needs to hit critical mass and the talented devs making Reddit better as a hobby will come here and make it even better. Reddit’s dev team got lazy and complacent because outside devs were doing their job for them better and for free which is pretty ridiculous. If you put a monetary value on the bot defence teams work it would in the millions. Other companies have a team of full time employees fighting spam, Reddit was getting it for free.
Even if they were to revert every single poor decision in the last 6 months right now, the damage is done.
They showed their true colours, and everyone is done with the platform.
Long live Lemmy.

I had no idea this was a case. For free!?
