That would be an amazing project a group could take part in .... just have a whole host of users post irrelevant data that sort of sounds acceptable but is complete nonsense. Post usual stuff but with a twist in everything. Use bad grammar, misplaced words, unusual syntax, falsehoods, lies and just general nonsense ... over and over again.

Does Dawson have any lemmy, kbin, mastodon connections we can link to?
I want to connect with his account without reddit and give through patreon or any fundraising he is doing .... I dumped reddit but I had been using sync for years and I paid for the lifetime subscription just before going off .... after what he did for us for years, I'm more than willing to give funding to him for his work
Jesus ... lol ... that's hilirious ... but also they said activity to make the site less attractive, not more attractive
Just stand up, flip the board over and walk away
Great perspective and a fanstastic way of seeing how we should view our participation in all this internet activity
Same here ... but commenting, sharing and posting Lemmy for the past few days and I just got into kbin ... I'm still learning and I find it is really engaging my brain to try to figure out what is happening ... on reddit I was a mindless zombie just rehashing content I had shared a hundreds times before
The big thing that everyone should understand is that there seems to be no negotiation ... no middle ground ... either you stay on Reddit and you suck up all the advertising or you don't
I wasn't quite sure what to do and I drifted in and out of my account for a while and thought protesting, sharing memes or trying to circumvent rules or something ... then I just realized ... the worst thing anyone can do to a social media site is to simply just stop using it at all
Once you abandon Reddit, you've done the most damage you could possibly do
Social media is built on human participation ... of all kinds, positive, negative, hateful, loving, inclusive, exclusive ... it doesn't matter what the participation is, as long as you participate
So once you leave ... you've severed a section of the site to let it die ... if enough people do the same, the rot of users abandoning reddit will turn the site into an empty billion dollar shell that will quickly become worthless
Best TL:DR I've read in a while ... thanks
I once added a bottle of cherry Pepsi to my crock pot when making pulled pork
was that on purpose or by accident?
I think part of it is to continue that interest in the old site .... some of these posts are really suspicious in the way they keep wanting to drive people back to interact with the old site in one way or another - malicious or not, it's still driving traffic there
I gave up cold turkey ... I dumped the site, the app, all my accounts (I had four) and just stopped looking into the site or doing anything there
The best thing to do with social media sites you don't like is to just stop interacting with them ... completely.
I'm active now on kbin and lemmy ... I'll keep all my activity on these media sites from now on ... I'm not wasting my energy on the old dumpster fire.

I got into reddit about ten years ago ... I wasn't part of the first wave but back then it felt like the site was new and things were happening. Then it just slowly devolved into what it is now
I really don't mind the change as it just gives me a new perspective on things and people ... change is good ... any time we are caught standing still, we always seem to lose something, especially in the digital world.
