    So is it not on Reddit because conservative down votes, shitty algorithm, not enough people compared to bots, or a combination of the above?

    Going there for the first time since the migration, and not seeing it anywhere on the top of anything (/Maine had it but couldn’t get a sticky) while not logged in made me very satisfied I’ve made the correct decision sticking around lemmy.

      They screwed with the algorithm years ago. It took about 4 hours for it to show up on /r/all via /r/Maine.

        I remember when I got breaking news on reddit almost immediately. 4 hours? What a joke.

      Reddit is a censorship hellhole.

      There’s so much secretive bullshit going on there it isn’t worth taking seriously.

      Having a public modlog is necessary to keep mods accountable.

      Reddit does absolutely nothing to combat shills and vote manipulation because it all looks like ad impressions to investors.

      They’re probably here already, since the buy in is so low. But realistically they’d be focused on the bigger sites for something like this.
