  • does it know how to discern genuine user input from astroturfed marketing copy in disguise?

    even with upvote counts, it might be upvoted for being a funny joke response

    there’s also no way to click on a user’s profile to check if the activity is genuine, or if the user is experienced in the topic they are commenting about













  • Which makes me think they won’t do that, at least until they realize their current plan won’t work out in the long run. So far they’ve been going in the opposite direction by locking down everything:

    • killing off third party apps
    • making it difficult to access on old Reddit or mobile web
    • only letting search engines index the site if they pay
    • talk of paywalling subreddits

    I’ve used the term “threadiverse” for a while and it’s been in use from before Meta threads was widely advertised, but I agree that it can be confusing now

    It would be nice to have a descriptor for the format. For example, Mastodon & Misskey are ‘Microblogging’ platforms. Lemmy, Mbin, Piefed, and Sublinks are _____ platforms.
