Dont take this the wrong way but that kinda sucks. I dont want lemmy to be full of bot-fed reposts of reddit. I’d rather posts and engagement happen organically from users. Let the various instances and magazines grow their own communities and cultures. Already I see different sources being linked than typical on reddit, different kind of engagement.

If something is reposted from reddit I’d rather it be by an OP who actually cares about the subject and will be in the comments replying to people and carrying on a discussion

Youre going god’s work. That said I imagine that kind of content will be buried under the thousands of people posting “fuck spez”

Kinda wish the peanut gallery would stop posting a little bit. Like a little engagement is one thing but this literally already has more than 2,000 posts in 20 minutes of people piling on and going “uhuh!” “yeah!” “HE WONT DO IT!” “He hasnt answered to this complicated post yet”.

Like it’s so much noise that when and if he does inevitably reply to things it will be buried.

Also why are people celebrating the big questions by giving them reddit gold and awards? Doesnt that cost real money? I dont see the sense in going

“Yeah screw reddit! You tell this lying dirtbag!” and then giving reddit a few bucks so a little icon appears next to their name

Just like most high profile AMA’s on reddit. But yeah it’s pretty obvious theres a lot of money to be made here and as a mouthpiece for this company they arent going to give a lot of straight answers. Honestly I’m not sure why theyre even bothering with an AMA instead of just an announcement addressing concerns but they want to keep the reddit image I guess.

That image is dead and buried and has been since the site became one of the biggest on the web but what are you gunna do.

Oh thats neat that the moderating is so transparent.
