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

    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.

        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.
