Completely aside from the cable discussion, I'm glad this was on bsky. I could finally follow the comments in the link again. I hope this trend continues.

BlueSky has attained critical mass and it is the next generation of microblogging. We’re witnessing the long awaited dethroning of twitter and it will end up ceding the space like Reddit did.

What happened to Reddit? AFAIK, they're bigger than ever now.

In any of the larger subreddits, the posts are heavily repost bots and the top comments stolen from the last time it was posted.

It's also astroturfed to death, including moderation.

Astroturfing and moderator controlled subreddits have ruined Reddit for me. /r/worldnews is one example of the latter.

Someone analysed a popular post and found that 19 of the top 20 comments were bots.

The Dead Internet theory is all too true.

Reddit's become a propaganda factory, and it's disturbing. Heavily astroturfed subs are creating an echo chamber effect that's clearly damaging users' mental health. The platform's lax security makes it an easy mark for foreign misinformation campaigns. You can still sign up without even an email address!
