I can actually feel the lack of bots, AI replies and chatGPT comments in the threads. I cant exactly pin point it to a specific trait or writing style but you can feel the humans behind these comments....
The reddit blackout is even more effectivte than expected! 5177/8829 (~60%) of subreddits are still dark [1] and the posts per minute are down to 1000 from 1400 [2]....
Comment levels are back to normal. But those creating the posts, initiating engagement are down and it will probably become worse once the API changes are in effect.
Subreddits are dark and posts will disappear from the Google Index reducing traffic to the site. Many big subs, as r/formula1 or r/apple to name a few, are dark indefinitely.
Moderators, those who keep the platform more or less peaceful, are sick of it - as you can see in the blackout rates.
The casual normie or lurker will see a drop in content, the site will gradually or exponentially loose its top value users and become a Facebook.
Or not. We'll know in a few months to come, the internet is a fast paced place.
Same. Missed in the first day maybe but out of habbit. You can see the growth in the community here compared to just a few days ago. Rich engagement, no toxic users and interesting & diverse content
interesting. nevertheless an undeniable amount of big subs are staying down indefinitely. stumbled upon the r/ModCoord thread earlier, r/formula1 or r/apple just to name a few
60% of those subreddits that made the claim. The blackout is now on its 3rd day and many big ones (e.g. r/apple, r/formula1) are staying dark indefinitely.
Kbin and other instances are pretty much overwhelmed with the rapid rise in users. Kbin is still in beta, mobile app in development but @ernest is doing an amazing job here at kbin.social. Give the whole space a little time and things will improve.
I found myself with the same issues, just use it for a bit, lurk in magazines and you'll get the gist.
I feel the lack of AI bots in the Fediverse
