There's a shit ton of upvote bots and subs had free gold to give out all the time.
Admins like it because it looks good to advertisers and idiots think buying gold is normalized
Mods like it because it boosts sub visibility and got more subscribers
And some users chase karma so theyre onboard too.
There wasn't much authentic about reddit
The ADL isn't perfect, but it's better than mint press...
Everytime I see posts like this, it's hard not to think OP isn't just trolling or are just also bigoted and that's why they don't see an issue with it...
Maybe your problem is you just keep asking social media users instead of reading one of the many, many articles outlining it.

She might not openly say bigoted things, but it's pretty obvious she holds bigoted views. Like, someone can be bigoted even if they don't admit it.
They navigated by getting text messages from the ship...
That's fucking insane when you're going miles under the sea
Also, there's no way to open it from the inside, they're bolted in.
So even if they surfaced, they'll still run out of air if they're not found soon.
Yep, nsfw means no ads.
Also set it so a mod has to approve every post before it shows.
That way the sub is technically up and they can't take it or make money off it.
Twitter will abide by the law but will not go further, Musk said during the interview. He claimed hate speech had decreased by 30 percent since he took over, even as Lapix presented him with statistics saying the opposite — including a study by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue exposing a 105 percent increase in antisemitic posts.
Pressed by the interviewer, the billionaire, a self-proclaimed freedom of expression absolutist, said the definition of hate speech shouldn't be too broad or it could lead to censorship. Shown tweets rejoicing about the migrant boat disaster off Greece last week, Musk conceded they were "distasteful" but should remain online as long as they're not illegal.
His definition of hate speech is just shit he disagrees with.
He agrees with anti-lgtbq and antisemitism, so to him, that's not hate speech
Because the building was an asset during the sale...
On paper it was "smart" to have it there because it was a tangible asset. Long term it was a waste of money, but canceling would have been worse before the sale.
Just kicking the can down the road
Also, people like him care about the high score.
Losing 50% of his wealth wouldn't change his lifestyle. But it would destroy his ego and make him keep making rasher decisions until it's all gone.
He'll keep taking risks he doesn't need to, and since he's leveraging against other holdings, it becomes a house of cards situation real quick.
Because "funding other people's wars" is better than waiting a couple years till it's our war too...
Did you forget about WW2?
Reddit does it with Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Tumblr...
Some of the bigger communities is literally just screenshots of what people say other places.
It would be pretty funny to see an instance that just pulls posts from subs and posts them to Lemmy. Not direct links to reddit, just copy the link/pic/video
One time I made a main level comment, then replied to one of the most upvote comments in the same thread.
Seconds later a bit replied to me with my first reply, except for some reason it cut off the end. I don't know if the bot ran out of characters because it was a cheap bot, or if it was an attempt to avoid automated detection.
Bots were a huge problem long before AI started trying to have conversations.
We all joked about it, but a lot of the accounts were really fake, and they usually got sold to advertisers after amassing enough karma and post history to look authentic
