about 50% content is like this, no matter what view you select. I think /r/pics has the right idea; it is so dominating. Other subs should change their post to be like this (with their own messages) I think.
It's somehow a little bit amazing how little the new reddit has improved over the years. It was bad when it was launched and it's still almost as bad now.
As a mod I've been considering this, but with the amount of moderators and communities that have been banned for attempting to steer their users to alternatives, it's simply not worth the risk. For now, I've just linked visitors to our Discord server instead, and people should be able to find the Lemmy and Raddle alternatives there if they wish to.
It has to do with other laws in the EU having to do with anticompetitive practices. Reddit would be subject to the same, Twitter is just much more in the public eye so they got news coverage and Musk got slapped for it faster.
GDPR is absolutely not applicable here. Their platform, their rules when it comes to what people can and can't post (with the exception of personal information, that is covered by GDPR). If tomorrow they decide that commenting the word "Banana" is a bannable offence, they're well within their rights.
