It’s frustrating that these trolls keep contributing to the big lie that “Lemmy is not ready yet” and that there’s “no viable alternative to Reddit”.
That's not frustrating at all! That's GOOD! It's proof they see Lemmy as a threat, and right now, it is!
I think the majority of those people just don't care and are against change.
I can say that to the non-technical person, Lemmy would be a bit confusing due to having to pick a server. However, once you get past that point, Lemmy is a perfectly viable alternative to Reddit, as long as the user base remains active.
Let them stay there then. We can't force people to join us here. If they choose to believe those kind of brigading comments then they do not have the level of critical thinking to become a meaningful contributor to any site. Those who wanted to move have already moved. Those remaining there are those who chose to ignore the issue, or support reddit.
I went to have a look back in United Kingdom sub and seemed even more right wing and.thw think-tank bots paid posts than normal.
It was a matter of time. They'll give us a stupid name to refer to us from now on soon enough too.
Might I suggest Lemmigrants?
“Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you”
Honestly, it would not shock me if Reddit HQ was amplifying these comments. They are going to do everything they can to ensure that their IPO goes well. All we can hope for is for someone to blow the whistle.
I came here to look to see if this topic was covered. I just checked my mod queue and every single post made by my automod OR other users about Lemmy was reported multiple times for "harassment" with 40+ down votes as well. I've literally never had a full mod queue that was more than 6 things before and I had 30 or more posts to approve with 3 being actual things. What the fuck.
Reddit HQ, or an apartment block in Russia, or a warehouse in turkey, or a basement in Saudi Arabia..
and for some bizarre reason, there are people here who want to scape all this reddit crap with a bot and dump it in our /all feed. I just dont get it.
Wouldn't care to be honest. Let reddit be shit, all sorts of slander origi ate from there anyway.
This place is becoming an echo chamber.
I don't doubt that there are bots in the comments on Reddit (as if that can even be disputed) but pretending like nobody could possibly just not be interested in moving to lemmy is wrong. There's lots of teething troubles here still which need to be resolved before most people will consider it. Whinging about astroturfing comment sections isn't gonna make dankmemes or pcmasterrace come to lemmy.
Yeah it's good that this type of comments are being left there and not here.
Also I don't think is a good idea that an user that's looking for reddit 2 comes to lemmy or kbin just to shit on it cause is not reddit 2.
