I’m out of the loop here, what happens on the 7th?
The 3rd party apps are closing at the end of this month, which means there'll be somewhere around a week or so of people realising just how bad the official app is, plus decreased quality content as the actually-motivated people who post things continue their gradual migration away from reddit and driving redditors to seek other places to gather.
Meanwhile all of the repost bots can post and comment on each other’s threads keeping the Reddit server humming away.
Good riddance.
At some point, it will just be repost bots having conversations in the comments of posts "created" by other repost bots.
/r/subreddit_simulator wasn't just an experiment, it was prophetic.
I realized that after deleting my oldest reddit account I should have sold the damn thing.
Might work out how to do that yet for my remaining accounts
I like my username too much to have a hand in making it shill ads and misinformation.
Yup. I'm Anarch157a everywhere (except Mastodon, for reasons), Steam, Lemmy, Discord, etc. Having my old - now deleted - Reddit account as a bot could spill over my identity in other services.
