MODERATORS
But not this strong. Since the fuck spez event, you can barely get any answers in the help subs, and you get instantly downvoted when you say something different. They once banned me from a subreddit and suspended me for 7 days from the entire platform because I said „No”. This place is much better, but it feels empty.
Don't worry, it is empty and thats what makes it better.
Oh and there is already a hive mind mentality on Lemmy.
BTW, I think spez is bottotting shit to inflate reddit usage, and hive mind hijacking is a easy way to do so.
I haven't seen the hivemind stuff here yet luckily. Also, what is „hive mind hijacking”, I haven't heard about that before.
I think you might need to take a look at lemmygrad or hexbear, they are a hivemind.
And hijacking as in gathering the time between a certain number of votes (in general) and letting the bots they use vote as well and in a non obvious way. At least thats basically how I coded my reddit bots back in the days...
They might be blocked on lemmy.world, I haven't ran into them in a long time. Also, thanks for the explanation!
They are, hexbear users were downright unbearable. (Heh)
Oh yeah, also their giga emote spams, but also just generally annoying.
Might depend on the sub but it's always been part of my experience on reddit. I've already been downvoted to something like - 70 for explaining commonly misunderstood game mechanics cause I'm a nerd and when I really like a game I like to know how it works in detail. Those were easily verifiable facts.
Out of interest, which game was it?
Zombie mode from CoD. Most people play it casually but there is a handful of people trying to push the mode to its limit and I'm pretty much in-between those two groups, I lack the skill from the top players but I'm more dedicated and knowledgeable than the casual crowd.
I haven't been on reddit for years but I always remember it having this problem. My first account was made just so I could get that /r/atheism circlejerk out of my feed.
I don't know what it's like now but keep in mind that in addition to the growth, reddit has been taken over by corporate interests. That, and the big increase in traffic, means it's more of a target for botfarms and things of that nature.
Best way to avoid this problem is to just participate in the smaller niche subreddits in my experience.
In my country it just became an actual „political platform”, the opposition leader started hosting an official AMA today. Maybe like with all things, it's just politics ruining everything.
