Title basically. I was here at the very start of it all and really enjoyed it. However I felt it lost its uniqueness within a few months of mass migration and started turning a bit like reddit again so I deleted my old account. However Reddit has only gotten much much worse since, and Lemmy has stayed about the same. So here again.
Less fun stuff more divisive stuff. Way more boring stuff. But I probably attribute these things more to tiktok influencing whats cool to post.
I haven’t really noticed too much difference in terms of comments other than more bots. But that’s because of AI.
Actually the API change was because AI it wasn’t some evil move on Reddit’s part. It should be well understood what bots are doing to the internet right now it was a “we can’t have nice things” situation… You can still use the API you just can’t hit it hard without paying or what ever.
