This feels like a weird conspiracy theory.

    I’m sure they have their eyes peeled at a growing competitor, but is there anything weird or creepy about this?

    All the reddit posts smack of a toxic environment. It’s like breaking up with a bad ex. In your case, you’re worried you’re going to see them somewhere, in a city full of 3 million people.

    I am gonna have a big sarcastic shocked Pikachu face when we discoverer reddit made a large chunk of all those bot accounts just to data harvest and influence lemmy.

    I wouldn’t even call reddit spying on lemmy a conspiracy, just a natural part of competition in business.

      I don’t think it was reddit, I think it was meta. Don’t want to join our fedimetaverse? Ok, good thing we seeded all your instances with bots that will take you down from their inside before you said no :)

    They’re way, wwaay, waaaaaaaaaayyy too busy for that right now. lol Otherwise they probably would be, at least a little bit.

    Just standard keeping an eye on a competitor. Not doing that would be very foolish. Not that he’s a smart guy or anything, but “watch your competitors” is pretty basic stuff.

    If they’re as toxic as they seem, then just live your best life. We now have a jealous audience that’s obsessed with us. They’ll eventually get upset at how pathetic they are, get bored, and find another victim to abuse.

    I’m sure they are but they won’t care bc they think that the API changes will bring them more money and they don’t see lemmy as a big enough competitor.
