As Reddit’s enshittification reaches new heights their attempts to suppress attention for alternatives, like federated Lemmy, has the opposite effect as this Hacker News discussion shows.

    Ziq is not a trustworthy source on shit. That guy is well known for lying and impersonating people to stir up shit, and has a personal vendetta against any leftist message board that he isn’t personally capable of manipulating. He impersonated me and a few other members of Hexbear in the very early days when it became clear r/ChapoTrapHouse wasn’t going to settle on Raddle.

      Hm really? I saw a few links to posts on reddit with the same username as the lemmy.ml admin. Those posts were extremely Yikes.

      Edit: The lemmy.ml admin was removing my posts critical of the Chinese State, so it seems true.
