Comment on How is Lemmy better than Reddit?

25% of reddit comments are chatgpt trash if not worse. It used to be an excellent Open Source Intelligence tool but now it’s just a bunch of fake supportive and/or politically biased bots
I will miss reddits extremely niche communities, but I believe Lemmy has reached the inflection point to eventually reach the same level of niche communities

I also miss Reddit’s sense of community. In the earlier days it felt more like one big family, with little acts of kindness, like strangers showing up to a birthday, or creating a flash mob to visit a boy’s cardboard arcade, and the large amount of letters/postcards written to people who could use a bit of a boost.
Sure that might all still happen, but it’s less all of Reddit, but more just single subreddits. I don’t know how to explain it.
Reddit itself feels too corporatized, if that’s a word.

It’s become a product. You can still discuss anything on Reddit unless it diminishes the value of the product. E.g. in a thread discussing the merits of Hyundai or Coca-Cola or whatever, which I’m sure will be totally organic and not paid-for and bot-swamped at all, any negative comment about these brands will get you buried at -6 or below within mere minutes.
