If they’re like NewsUser and Botittest, the bots will flood this place when they start. Even though these two good bots have made this place a lot more usable, it feels like that’s what the “All” thread has become. Just news.
Don’t get me wrong, I like the news feed, but now I understand why it became a separate thread in Reddit.
Whichever the instances that lowered their guard were, there will be a day they will have to be defederated. It’ll be a test for this place, for sure.

A ton of moderators have been making changes to their subreddits' rules (e.g., only allowing certain posts, going NSFW, loosening rules a ton) to protest without getting kicked out. Do you think this strategy of turning a subreddit into shitposts is effective or not?...
It’s been a week in Kbin for me. I don’t care about that site (Reddit) anymore. I’ve been back twice, and it’s teenage humor at best. I had been there just 3 years, and it felt like I had seen it all. Re-post after re-post.
I’ve left Twitter already. I didn’t leave Facebook or WhatsApp completely because I still have family members posting there, but go there maybe once or twice a month. Reddit, where no one in my immediate network goes, or knows whom I am can go even faster. It was staring to feel like a circle yerk, just like Twitter.
While those communities that are re-opening with those shitposts, ultimately are still benefiting Reddit; there’s one thing they’re accomplishing: They’re driving true content creators to move away from Reddit. And long term, that will give places like Lemmy, Kbin and Mastodon a critical mass of attractive content that can tip the balance.
As long as there’s traffic, Reddit profits. And the more infuriating or stupid/funny your content is, the more Reddit profits. Karma farming had already killed the community feeling there. Those who have stayed are more vested in their popularity points, than on a real community. And yes, Reddit and Twitter will survive for those that seek to be popular…but that’s not for many of us anymore.
I think the Fediverse is really where the future lies ahead, and it’s great to see it growing.
