Not only that, but the community is small enough that large corporations and marketing companies don’t care about it. Yet ;)

And at that point we can defederate from corporate instances. Its so user first.

It’s not about corporate instances. It’s the bots and fake accounts/posts/comments. That’s one of the issues with Reddit. There are little authentic posts. Most of them are advertisements it just reposts to farm karma to avoid detection. It’s ridiculous.

Which subs do you see this in?

@slacktoid@lemmy.ml · 2Y

It is, hopefully they get modded out

You’re missing all the racism that’s come forth since mod tools were lost

I think this is the biggest reason. A huge amount of content on reddit is astroturfing / brand manipulation; both in posts and in the comments. And in addition to that, a there’s a huge amount of ‘karma farming’, where heaps of popular but low-effort content is recycled over and over again to gain points and create a sense of credibility for accounts that will later be used for marketing / manipulation.
