may I use this moment to ask you if this is intended (see spoiler formatted section in the post)

EDIT maybe its the photon frontend, I’ll crosspost there too

well it would be tied to financing this platform in my suggestion, so I dont see the issue if the upvotes are the only metric for post ranking and on the other hand awards being only cosmetic

u can always ublock them away if you personally have spite against the look of some icon. but yea there surely is a wrong way to implement such features… as u mentioned a prime contentder for a service gone shady/shill

awards that cosmetically work like upvotes in a sense. reddit has them, but they link that to nothing or ad free features.

Bound to donations I dont see why this would be a bad idea. Gives a strong sense of community, especially if theres for example special ones bound to each instance

@username(matrix.org)

maybe give incentives like upvote award feature for the respective instance that has been donated to. that way people would be more willing to get something out of it in a more tangible way

thanks this helps alot :P

I need ad-like branding on what Mbin and PieFed are.

Im too lazy to look it up

dont read too much into it maybe they also dont like that reddit is still getting strong revenue

updooted the post :) thanks for sharing

EDIT: also dont like. Looks like I found the problem hahaha

we dont do that here

redditors dont have to be human. idk why u assaulting me for that

modern day tobacco corporations

the link preview text is an unrelated captcha hahaha, nice

actual title: “The Worst Experiment On Reddit Just Happened” by SomeOrdinaryGamers Fireship also made a video on this

how can you respond to my deleted comment. I instantly deleted it after seeing a comment where I could add the same message under, so the discussion is more bundled

either way

funk’s german post referenced this Imperva Bad Bot Report 2024

EDIT 74% not 80%, doesnt change anything tbh :D

remember 80% of instagram is bots according to a study reported by german media.

so X id even say it could be more giving the vast hatred increase and content change over the last years. so basically they lost 90%

You for sure feels so good being this helpful. But TIN really don’t understand SHT if you use so many Technical terms(TT)

But there’s a solution in brackets I just presented, that’s commonly accepted in academia if you still want to use TT like that
