Cool, I've heard that people love paying for access to their own content that used to be free.

This is a good time for anyone still on the site to share some Lemmy links.

No please. The Redditors that stayed are insane,I don't want them in here

Reddit has that effect. I admit I was a little unhinged when I came here, but either people calm down and start acting like real human beings, or else they realize they can't have their fun being trolls and they leave. It's a funny thing that happens when an entire platform is centered around people, not profit. Bots and ragebait are great for stonks - they drive "engagement" and inflate MAU - so they are pervasive on every platform with shareholders.

Oh dear Lord. Please don't. This is still a nice place.

Fucking exactly. It's regular users that turn everything to shit, or allow it to happen at least.

Very sad but very true

Right, the few good posters left aren't worth the flood of the others. Remember the first bit of Facebook, when you had to have an invite or a college email? Wasn't so bad, then they opened the flood gate and continued making poor decisions and today it's a wonder that anyone uses it, but if you sign on you'll see not much but political memes being shared making laughably false claims.
