  • If I remember correctly, Reddit’s app was first on the IOS App Store before the whole API debacle. So we can assume that a significant percentage of users are using the official app and being brainwashed by Reddit’s ads to keep the shareholders happy.

    They wanted to bring the rest of users into the fold. It’s good to see that so many didn’t and came here instead.

    I remember Reddit in its early days (it was founded in 2005). The conversations were intelligent and I participated in a lot of them. When they introduced karma, I noticed that people were using it as a badge of honor. People started posting shitty one-liners to get upvotes, but those posts had no meaning.

    So I started posting less and less. Lemmy/Kbin reminds me of the early days of Reddit, and I hope it stays that way.
