Reddit is killing RSS feeds and ending public API access because of AI bots

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.

Same, Lenny isn’t mature enough to have some of the very niche communities yet

Lemmy never will be big enough without a change in thinking from the feudal nature to a more liberal democracy, alas.

Can you expand a bit? What do you mean “feudal nature” and “liberal democracy”? Do you mean society as a whole or Lemmy in general?

Yes I would be pleased to expand thank you for asking.

Lemmy is a mini reddit, moderators own the space, like a feudal lord. To take off, as an alternative to the feudal spaces of big social media, we need to offer a better alternative.

To that effect, a clear set of moderation rules would help, and for that set of rules to end in a jury trial of members.
