Just have an LLM ask another LLM questions for a couple hours a day. That should hit that target.

Wow they haven’t even made it good enough for me to use yet and they are already enshittifying it?

The artists get essentially none of that money, so when they talk about the “music industry” they are talking about all the parasites feeding off them. Rob them for all they are worth.

Even the narrow specialist subreddits I’m on tend to decay almost exclusively to

• I just bought the thing that the community is about
• Hey guys, be my free tech support
• The same 10 memes over and over again

Unfortunately not yet, at least last I checked. That and some missing Voyager features for piefed are what’s keeping me from using it as my primary account.

I use Alexandrite and Voyager and lemmus.org and find the UI and experience to be superior than at any point in my 15 years at Reddit, so I have to question what’s going on for you to make it that way.

I’m not gatekeeping, I’m just suggesting maybe not to actively recruit them. I think the good ones will make their way here without a bunch of begging and pleading and convincing. And maybe the rest just aren’t really worth having.

This was the same thing that made me choose Reddit over Digg back in the day, and I never liked it as much after the Digg migration.

I don’t know, I’m not sure that people who find Reddit in it’s current form to still be a useful/enjoyable experience are people I want to share a community with.

Sometimes I wonder if they haven’t moved over by now, do we really want them? The users I see at Reddit these days are not the sharpest tools in the shed.

Exactly. At least make a plan.
