Bad. I just feel bad.
I think they would take advantage of Fediverse and destroy it.
I see where you’re coming from. Some even said they would go dark indefinitely. However, as I understood from another post, that reddit admins removed mods and reopend subs.
I think they wanted to stop/delay reddit going IPO by scaring potential buyers or force management to eliminate this concept in the near future.
I believe most if not all subreddits specified the period to go dark. I’d count on thier statement even if they said for good since reddit managment can override their promise.
Do your part and start the sub here. They might engage if they see content being posted.
One time payment vs subscription 😂

This.
Everytime I see a federated instance I need to find it in community search to subscribe.
Well, different post categories indicate different meanings (usefulness).
For example, in political communities, I can get a rough estimate of the majority of users' views/ideologies regarding a specific topic.
all it does it create an echo-chamber. It’s self-reinforcing.
Totally agree. Also, I'm taking into an account that this is a view of people who have internet -> browse lemmy -> browse or subbed to the community (interested in) -> saw the post -> read comments -> default sort (i believe lemmy's default is hot which is new?) so definitely biased
I also don’t care if other people found a post “positive” or “negative” or “neutral” in general. Truthful, well thought-out comments get downvoted into oblivion despite being true, simply because they aren’t mainstream views. Likewise, mainstream views with no basis in reality get upvoted incessantly, probably because humans psychologically like believing that their beliefs are true and seeing “confirmation” of their beliefs is seen as a good thing. This is what is meant by self-reinforcing echo-chamber: fringe or dissenting opinions get hidden, and “more of the same”/“towing the line” conformity get promoted.
I stated that it's good to know "what people who read this post or comment think of it" regardless of post/comment truthfulness. It's useful (for me) to assess whether many people agree with, against, or it's controversial.
PS: This information wouldn't change my opinion about a post/comment.
I agree that score is not indicative of the quality of posts. However, it’s useful to measure what people who read this post or comment think of it positively or negatively or neutral.
Thank you!!
I wish you all the best.
