X Communities are no more. Only a fraction of X users were using Communities, and much of that use was spam, the company said.

    Anyone still using corporate social media deserves what they get.

    Hopefully Reddit is next. World news, technology, and pretty much every big name subreddit could use a shutdown. I get wayyyy more replies on Lemmy than I ever did on “active” reddit posts with supposedly 4k comments. It got to the point that I would be surprised anytime someone replied to me.

      Oh it’s easy bb. Hijack top comments and always say things in a controversial way.

      r/worldnews has been a Zionist ran and bottled shithole for most if not all of its existence.

      The fact Ghislaine Maxwell was proven to be a moderator there, and the fact the rest of those mods knew of and were in on it, should’ve immediately resulted in a total shutdown.

        I would never see a comment like that on Reddit unless 800 bots upvoted it.

          I mean…in the year 2022 reddit awarded me the 1% award. I just went all year, making my own stupid little comments. I’m only on social media (reddit, and now lemmy) to entertain myself.

          Then they gave me this award, and said I was in the top 1% of karma earners for the year.

          I still don’t know if I should be proud, or ashamed of that.

      I really liked what /r/SaaS did:

      https://www.reddit.com/r/SaaS/comments/1sl3mrh/just_hit_2k_mrr_after_8_months_of_grinding/

      Looks like a post, but the image makes it clear it’s bot bait. Reply to the post and get banned. LOL.

      Glad I deleted my profile last year. Good riddance. I hadn’t used it at all since Fascelon took over so it was way overdue.

        I mostly post nsfw on it, but since migrating to Mastodon and Bluesky, I get way more traction there.
