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

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]

I thought it's 50% like Twitch.

it's not the best comparison imo. For twitch's own gifting system(Bits), streamers get 100% of the bits when streamers cash out(100bit = $1 but when purchasing it, 100bit costs ~$1.3). the 50/50 split for the subscriptions(when a viewer subscribe to a streamer - 3 tiers, the cheapest being $4.99, and streamers would get half of that)
