Definitely losing interest fast in this "reddit alternative". The politics subs are just as bad, if not worse, than Facebook and Twitter. The communities are just clones of subreddits, after the 3rd party / mod purge. The dumbass comment chains that stopped being funny 5 years ago. Clearly bots being used to influence social issues... Could go on but it's just more wasted bandwidth.

It's okay, at least you tried it out.

I just see Lemmy as "more Reddit"

I read Reddit, I read Lemmy.

Lemmy usually has 60-80 active commenters on any post that makes it to the front few pages of the entire network, which is more than enough cannon fodder for general discourse and discussion.

I don't care if two or three ass-hats are using bots. They're obvious and easy to spot, and everyone downvotes them anyway, and if they don't, who cares? Move on. This site isn't governed by any one person or interest, it's going to be influenced by everyone equally, and that includes cheap shit like bots, because they're wrapped up in everyone just the same as everybody else.
