Random Rant: I feel like reddit died after they banned all the “unmoderated” communities. All the posts became sanitized. Now reddit is adding AI and streaks and NFTs to keep people on a platform that has no more content.

i noticed the unmoderated communities banned a while ago and didn’t realize that was a recent change. The ones I noticed were pretty obscure. I’m using old.reddit.com while it still works so haven’t seen much issue with AI and NFT’s, at least so far. (I don’t post but I still lurk). Most annoying recent change was they shut down the PM system in favor of their shitty chat system.
Reddit is run by evil and ill-intentioned people but it is fairly well executed in terms of keeping user engagement. Lemmy by comparison is, at least for now, nowhere near as lively. Lemmy has much better intentions but I think its execution made mistakes. If I were king of Lemmy, I’d reorganize its software and protocols in the hope of helping it run at bigger scale. But, it’s still early days.
yea i knew a unmodered sub that was banned for having next to no post or moderators, but that is a very very small and niche sub.
