    So, again… who cares? It’s Reddit.

    I’m not trying to be argumentative at all, I’m genuinely asking why does anyone care that Reddit is turning full-fascist?

    Was everyone not aware this was the direction they were going in?

      Not every subreddit is turning fascist. It’s still a lifeline for a lot of people with certain health issues, or an evergreen repository for niche hobbies that is more complete than anywhere else with active communities that are helpful to newbies.

      It’s a huge ask getting people that are getting legitimate help and advice over there to move to a Lemmy community that lacks all the historical information and enough activity that helps people in a timely way.

      I know because I’m asking overthere. And a lot of people stuck there aren’t closet conservatives, trolls, or bots, they are sharing protest hat patterns, talking about how to get legal treatments that might get banned, and providing information and resources on how to get urgent location-banned medical care, i.e. abortions.

      Yes, I do, they are training the AI’s on it. I was just having some break throughs using AI to cut through the fox news info sphere. I do not want to see the AI start spewing kremlin talking points.
