Guess where? Unironically r/Save3rdPartyApps
The Reddit search for Lemmy also gives these privacy copy-pasta as top results when searching for Lemmy. I'm still betting that Reddit employees are involved in boosting these posts.
I know it's anecdotal (and late to this post), but I went back lurking my own profile today, and one of the arguments I had with someone regarding the API changes, and the commenter I was arguing with had about 1k more upvotes now more than 2 weeks later. It was in the middle of a conversation thread and none of the other comments in the whole post had anywhere close to that many votes.
I wouldn't generally consider myself as someone who would suspect brigading (and honestly, i'm cool with people who dissagree with me), but I can't think of any other reason why that comment had so many upvotes so long after the conversation took place.
I hope that site crashes and burns and I hope those VC's loose their shirts on their IPO.
