That’s a recent quote from Reddit’s VP of community, Laura Nestler. Here’s more of it: This week, Reddit has been telling protesting moderators that if they keep their communities private, the company will take action against them. Any actions could happen as soon as this afternoon.

It won’t take long.

Like TIL or any kind of help/diy sub was mostly reposts from bots. And the top comments were either bots copying the top comments from last time, or sometimes a real user who saw it so much they recite it from memory.

The knowledge is still out there in people’s heads. Eventually someone will ask the question again. Then it’s on here instead of reddit. We can wait for people to ask, or bots can just repost here like they still do on Reddit.

Bots aren’t really good or bad, it’s how they’re used.

Bots can simultaneously kill reddit and boost Lemmy into its replacement
