Today, Reddit forcibly removed me (and everyone else) as mods of /r/iOSProgramming, a subreddit of about 130k users. I was keeping the sub private / NSFW | Tanner B π¦π§ (@objc@mastodon.social)

What's reddit
Lemmy-like platform. But looks like they haven't implemented ActivityPub yet.
They sound pretty shady. Think we should defederate?
Dam lemmy.world at it again
I heard they have some piracy communities, so thatβs reason enough for most admin
I also saw a picture of someone with braces there once.
They also seem to want to replace moderators with AI and even bought a company that does so. Weird, and probably easy to abuse. Wouldn't trust.
I don't know why these platforms think they'll ever take off without even implementing federation. It's 2023!

Remember Digg? It's like that except it's mostly bots.
Ah so it's kinda like Digg?
It's a website where bots talk to each other and posts links from all over the internet in order to scam corporations out of ad revenue.
Dead Internet theory personified.
A centralized, proprietary alternative to Lemmy.
I think its like Chlamydia but you catch it from sticking your head too far up your ass (hence spez has it the worst)
a marketing tool
