How many days ago did this guy join this web site and I am already getting the reddit treatment.

I don’t even know why… I just tried to make a comment just now and it wouldn’t let me.

I think it illustrates the point I’ve been making for over a decade that the problem with reddit started when they introduced subs and mods. Any new “reddit” that does the same will never be a true space for free speech like the original was in the beginning. The model depends on self moderation using the voting and hiding system.

Unfortunately lemmy will suffer just like the rest have and that apparently includes wolfballs.

    The only down side was it kept the moderators of the web site and other nazi’s from controlling what you saw.

    Bots got better, they spam faster than you vote. They vote faster too.

    Also brigading, but I can’t know how harmful it would be in a botless world.

      That is a reasonable argument… however the old system was abolished by subreddit mods long before that ever became an issue. So it is hard to know if that would have ever been a serious problem in that model or if there wouldn’t have been easier decentralized solutions developed.
