Ah, I generally avoid the big subreddits because they are low quality.

What subreddits did you visit where discussion is with bots?

I still use Reddit every now and again for aviation and a mobile game (where there is an official company presence). Most of the discourse is genuine.

Now some of the more general subreddits, that’s garbage.

I get my news and politics from Lemmy now and, if anything, the experience is better. In fact, I seem to be more up to date on Canadian news.
