It feels like 90% of Reddit is Karma farming bots (posts and comments) to resell those accounts. Throwing in chatGPT bots & astroturfing and you probably reach 95% of Reddit.
r/place is a perfect demonstration that Reddit is dominated by bots (and admins).
I’ve noticed that Lemmy feels more natural and less inflammatory. I stopped voting or commenting on Reddit so as to avoid giving them free content and curation. Not long after, I started seeing a huge uptick in inflammatory posts and comments, almost as if the algorithm was trying to bait me into participating again. Joke’s on them though, it just pushed me to browse Lemmy even more.

Enjoy it. Lemmy, unfortunately, will change as it grows, as any community has done in the past.
