If you go to the modcoord subreddit, that is not the case everywhere. There have been several posts from mods complaining that their numbers are down, and they’re spending all their time modding to combat bot accounts. Reddit recently implemented a social credit score as well that not even mods can access. And they were vague as hell about what would make your score high/low.

This is the first I’ve heard about this. Got any more info about it? A quick Google search just gives me Reddit results from people talking about China’s social credit score system instead.
Lemmy is possibly over 300K now, with the whole fediverse over 12 million, but maybe only 4 million active. Reddit claims 1.7 billion active users, while some sources claim they only have 300M.
It’s really BS counts anyways, they don’t count interactions, or quality of interactions. From my time on Reddit, the quality had been going steadily down, then took a nosedive around 2021.
And even on TV they call it “X, formerly Twitter”, so that’s going to be it. They should register the x-formerly-twitter.com domain 😈
There actually were no bots on Reddit when it first went online (were bots a thing in 05?). But Alexis and Steve both admitted to having multiple accounts to post links for those first few weeks to make it seem like there were more users than there actually were. Remember back when it first went online all you could do was post news articles. No comments, gifs, pics, or subreddits. It wasn’t until someone created Imgur for the express purpose of being able to post pictures on Reddit that you were able to do so.
Definitely not
Sure, you can close your eyes and live in a make believe world. But Reddit clearly still has a ton of activity.
Not from me. 👋🏼
And that activity will MySpace itself just as fast. It seems to me that’s their goal. All that investment money hates free speech.
I can not see any decrease in activity, but I am only active in one sub, so I don’t know. From all I hear… they are fine for now.

Holy shit that took me longer than expected to find.

Reddit’s u/spez liked what Musk was doing with
Twitter𝕏… just look at how that’s going, to know where Reddit is heading.No question, but I see a ton of activity on Reddit. A few 10’000 moving to Lemmy is not going to matter for now.
Also: just call it Twitter.

People are saying there’s lots of bots on reddit now
There are lots of bots on Lemmy. Much more than I see in Reddit.
