personally i've not done the lemmy/federated route. i just find small "traditional" forums for the specific topics. i find these smaller communities resemble the old days of reddit. none of the mascot avatar/NFT/pixel awards nonsense
Noticed that too. Ever since i changed my bookmark to teddit, i'm getting the same error. noticed my time spent on reddit drastically decreased because i noticed everytime i get bored i'd go to the bookmark, but then i'd see the 429 error so i close the tab
not to mention the ceo also edited user comment because he disagreed with it, banned subs with no consistency, and for the r/place event, people caught admins cheating by placing tiles with no cooldown. who knows what other shady stuff goes on in the background
That's how reddit started out - posting fake comment to make the site seemed more popular[0]. And how they continue to operate - admin editing user comment because he disagreed with it, then posting a terrible apology[1]. Also how they continued to things like giving admins ability cheat by putting down r/place tiles with no cooldown[2], and censoring the canvas[3]
