Moved over from Reddit after the API debacle. Most interested in news communities, while being in favor of popular self-determination and against the use and propagation of generative AI.

  • Astroturfing will come, but the platform itself can’t as easily be designed to enable it with preferential algorithms and tracking. If an instance injects ads into its frontend, users can easily switch instances or use an alternative frontend or app; if a specific instance is known to host promotional posts, it can be easily defederated or otherwise blocked.

    The same cannot be said for blocking ads or tracking on Reddit, particularly for mobile users.
