Especially when ChatGPT bots are on the rise… Reddit couldn’t have picked a worse time to alienate the BotDefense team.
The mods of a gaming sub I frequent marked it as NSFW to prevent Reddit from earning ad revenue. There’s some discontent from a vocal minority of users about the change.
I made a bot to repost official announcements for a game I play. Ideally, a day will come where the company makes the announcements themselves on Lemmy and my bot is no longer needed, but until then, the owner of the sub has granted me permission to use my bot.
My bot makes about one or two posts per day. Other people in this thread have mentioned certain bots making posts every couple minutes, which many people would find quite excessive.
Voat, a previous Reddit competitor, managed to survive for years, even though it attracted a much more niche audience than Lemmy.
The actions of the admins after the initial blackout were why I moved over to Lemmy.
I think the women and children were below deck for protection against the elements, not to increase the chance of men surviving. On top of that, men are also more likely to know how to swim than women and children.
That costs as much as my 840 EVO (120 GB) did in 2014.
