Every single rising post on Reddit is crypto spam

It's difficult for me to give any less of a shit about Reddit. I'm perfectly happy with Lemmy.

Stop going to Reddit?

What a terrible Lemmy clone...

At least they are not doing the Twitter/X thing where they impersonate celebrities to push crypto... yet.

Lemmy Silver is the only fake Internet money I endorse.

Sorry to see you're still using Reddit

This is clearly the trend for Reddit- posts in general interest subs are frequently reposts by bots and commented on by bots that are karma farming so that they can post and upvote these scams.

The scary thing is that this would be easier to accomplish on Lemmy, we just aren’t big enough to be worth their time yet.

This isn't infuriating at all. Where's my !schadenfreude community?

Unrelated, but has anyone noticed that almost all posts and comments have at least one downvote?

I'm sorry op, I tried to summon all of my fucks, but alas, there were none to give

WTF kinda subs are you subbed to, dude?

Spez can drown in the shitpile he's created

More like mildlyexpected

I bet there are absolutely no bots at work on the platform!

More like mildly amusing. This is what happens when you basically get rid of or dissuade your volunteer mods from doing free work for you.

When 5 of the shown groups are obviously crypto related why is it a surprise? Bots push all kinds of stuff to the top in other popular subs, crypto subs are just getting more targeted bots instead of some tiktok clip.

Shit like this is why people will leave reddit and never come back.

Gross

It should straight up be illegal to manipulate a platform like this using bots tbh.

nazi digg deserves it.

And their new Elmo-like system to pay mods will make this type of spam worse as mods will be incentivized to allow this crap.

What a fucking disingenuous post. I can go to reddit now, and most rising posts are about things that interest me, because i subscribe to subreddits that match my interests. If you subscribe to Crypto scam subreddits, you can't go here and whine about it. Curate your timeline, just like you need to do here.

I'm so sick off all the FUD about reddit. Yes, the reddit management are basically pure evil, I agree. But reddit itself was barely affected by the exodus.

Glad i never got into crypto. I don't even know what airdrop and L0 mean

The crypto and buy GME spam from the groupthink "investment" subs was one of my biggest annoyances on Reddit. I used to love some of the investment subs, they got utterly ruined by the GME spam. Every other post is about trying to pump and dump some short squeeze stock.

The saddest part is so many of them don't even realize it's just a bunch of pump and dumps and hold the bag on stocks forever. There's still so many of them screaming about how GameStop or AMC is a good investment. Failing outdated business models, good investments because people short the stock. Sound logic.

I dont use reddit anymore but still have it installed. The amount of chat invites i get per day from bots is insane.

I used to browse by new and once you filtered out all the crypto scams it was usually pretty fun and diverse. I do the same on Lemmy now, but there's a lot less stuff to filter. Haven't used Reddit since the API announcement and never looked back, though.

I guess we now get to see what happens with little to no moderation on social media platforms. Starting with Reddit...

we really let that platform to s**t
