Lemmy-like platform. But looks like they haven't implemented ActivityPub yet.

They sound pretty shady. Think we should defederate?

[–] Kalkaline@programming.dev 109 points 1 year ago

It's probably full of ads anyway.

Dam lemmy.world at it again

I heard they have some piracy communities, so that’s reason enough for most admin

I also saw a picture of someone with braces there once.

They also seem to want to replace moderators with AI and even bought a company that does so. Weird, and probably easy to abuse. Wouldn't trust.

I don't know why these platforms think they'll ever take off without even implementing federation. It's 2023!

Remember Digg? It's like that except it's mostly bots.

[–] GreenMario@lemm.ee 83 points 1 year ago

It's a website where bots talk to each other and posts links from all over the internet in order to scam corporations out of ad revenue.

Dead Internet theory personified.

A centralized, proprietary alternative to Lemmy.
