You honestly believe the company that was trying to censor posts about competing services on their platform (illegal in EU by the way) is above using bots to post negative comments and posts about said competing service?
I wouldn't put it past Reddit to be trying to DDoS attack instances like Lemmy.world that keeps returning 502 Bad Gateway errors constantly.
Ooooh can we sue them? I'd love to sue them. Shout it out loud that they are purposely manipulating users and investors into thinking how bad Lemmy is and how many ppl have opinions.
