I haven’t used it for weeks and I’m wondering how low the quality of the content on that site has gotten.

    It was a ghost town for a couple of weeks, after the first exodus. Activity has picked back up, but it seems like about half of it is dug up reposts from 1 wk - 10 yrs ago. So, bots? Not sure.

      That seems to be the gist of it. I mentioned it in another thread, but new content there is just dismal now. Aside from the top 15-20 posts, everything below that fold hasn’t changed in a couple days for me - which used to age out every few hours.

    There’s a lot more generic posts in /r/AskReddit lately. The questions feel almost corporately sanitized.

    @Aityz

    The main subs I follow are more or less back to normal or never protested to begin with. Two tiny subs I mod have been getting hammered with Temu spam and because the built-in moderation tools don’t seem to help I set them to restricted.

    The big difference is on /all. Some popular subs have been largely replaced like r/AITA -> r/AITAH & r/TwoHotTakes. But a lot of the usual content is completely missing and in their place are the food delivery and selfie subs.

    @Aityz I’ve only just logged back in to ask on r/AskReddit why they wish to keep on using reddit instead of Kbin or Lemmy and tbh it seems like everything has ‘calmed’ on there, it doesn’t seem like anyone cares about what Reddit is doing nor what will happen in the future.
