    It’s pretty funny that some of the shitpost meme subs have “wow nothing’s changed who cares even” memes up. Yeah no shit, you’re on a bottom of the barrel sub full of mouth breathers, of course the quality of the content you consume hasn’t dipped yet.

    I didn’t and don’t expect Leddit to die a quick death or anything, but the quality of content in the subs I was a part of (aside from maybe local ones) has absolutely dropped in the last weeks.

    I also wonder how much of it is astroturfed propaganda by the company itself, but that’s just my tinfoil addled brain acting up again.

      I always thought a scary amount of undetected “guerilla marketing” was invading Reddit. And I’m convinced bots were ginning up conversation in the comment sections of those Reddit posts. And bots were downvoting me when I cried manipulation. And all those voices I always hear were very against me.

      And here I thought I was crazy.

      It was posted on lemmy that an account used chatcbt. It posted one of the “I can’t write that” things, along with things clearly written by AI.

        Yeah reddit corporate was working hard to shut down and discredit the protests. I had a bare minimum of three comments deleted. No notice or explanation, I just happened to realize they were suddenly gone.

      Was the ‘Let it’ joke intentional, or a happy accident?
