Reddit never gave a shit about bots. To them it’s something that pumps up their active users numbers to woo their investors. They’re only doing this so they can force people to view their ads that are designed to look like posts.
Who goes on Reddit nowadays anyway?

I still go on reddit often since that’s where most of the game communities I want to hear from are.
I mostly stick to Lemmy but there are times when I have a question to ask and the larger number of eyes on it does feel better even if it’s just a placebo

i had to ask very specific questions, that Reddit has the niche subs for, that lemmy doesnt have recently.
