  • I’m not sure if mods are a proper criteria when it comes to comparing Lemmy and Reddit. The audience is mostly the same and Lemmy doesn’t automatically make people/mods better or worse.

    Also, you forgot one major point: API! I get to use and support my third party app of choice Sync here on Lemmy which was killed off by Reddit.








  • Oh man, this brings back some sour memories.

    During the early days of the whole Reddit Dogecoin saga, I had somehow amassed 138066 Dogecoins - probably worth 10 bucks at the time. Didn’t know any better, so I kept them in DogeTipBot like many others, and forgot about them.

    The creator of the bot then stole everyone’s coins and dipped.

    Those 138066 Dogecoins would be worth $8647 today 💀




  • I found Reddit Gold and Discord Nitro’s gifting systems to be smart ways of monetization.

    There are people who, despite what you try, cannot or will not pay you. Gifting allows you to keep the people that positively contribute on your platform while still earning money from elsewhere.

    Amazing how swiftly they’re progressing with their enshittification. Makes me re-think all those 9 years spent there.
