There are enough reposts to keep them busy for a while I think. I swear the same post would get reposted a few weeks after the original and get just as many or more upvotes than the first time. And the top comments were usually the same or similar.

Yeah, I'm big into the NFL and fantasy football subreddits, so I'm glad it's the off season, but once the season starts I'm going to really miss those threads.

I'm not sure they can. What can they do? I doubt they'll replace moderators with paid Reddit workers. The alternative is to replace them with other power hungry moderators who will bend a knee to the Reddit admins. That might work on some major subreddits but the PR of that might cause more damage.

I think the admins hoped it would have blown over by now. If it's still going on by September I bet they'll need to do something.

I agree. Lemmy takes a bit to get used to. I think if content starts to get worse on Reddit, more people will get bored and switch. Hopefully by then those early kinks in lemmy will have been cleared out.

I've been slowly trying to transition to Lemmy with this in mind. After June 30th, RIF won't be working and I don't plan on installing the official app so I'm trying to get adjusted to Lemmy before then.

I agree. There's definitely work to be done but considering the massive influx I think it's doing pretty decently okay

This would be interesting to see if certain articles were pushed up or down by bot accounts.

This could be anywhere from news articles being buried/promoted or by hidden advertising within a post.

They associated the debris they found earlier to be from the sub which pretty much confirms the implosion.

1.2 mil bot accounts? Can they each send me $1?

Gotta cash in on that life insurance check while you're still alive!
