If elon musk (or any far-right billionaire) bought Reddit, do you think there will be a mass exodus to alternatives like Lemmy, similar to the twitter exodus to Bluesky? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Reddit is mostly ChatGPT bots talking to each other these days.

I get that people don't like Reddit but to claim it's "mostly bots" is almost certainly false.

Nah, take a look at the top comments in any of the default subreddits. They're either copy/pastes of the top comment from the last time the same meme was posted, or they're very clearly LLM-generated. Most of the big subs are absolutely loaded with bot activity these days.

There's a big difference between the default subs and the niche subs. There's bots all over the default subs, especially the news/politics ones. But like, the stardew valley memes sub, for example? I don't think there's a whole lot of russian bot activity going on there.
