Why or why not and what do you use it for?

    I’m happy on Lemmy and not using Reddit for any of my actual browsing or posting.

    I like to look once a day at what a mess r/all or the homepage (not logged in) has become, and report content that is not labelled correctly as nsfw or other problematic content that might cause issues… I mean, won’t someone think of the advertisers with their adverts sitting next to that stuff!

    As more communities remove NSFW status, it just seems like the problem gets worse - almost like they are struggling to moderate content. How could this happen!

    (More seriously, there is more actually objectionable stuff popping up on r/all because it is pulling from different subs now. I’ve seen more hate, racism etc. That genuinely should be reported if you go back and see it not only because there shouldn’t be a place for it, but also the approach Reddit has taken has had obvious detrimental effect to the content and the more reports the better.

    I feel like Reddit must be in a bit of trouble as they are letting quality and control plummet and this is the first thing people see on the homepage when not logged in or on r/all.)

    I have also repointed the sub I look after to encourage people to come here by linking itin the welcome message, side bar, and a pinned post.
