All it does is respond to the title. sometimes that works out for it....sometimes its horrible. Just a tiny bit down, check the old school cool. down in the comment graveyard is another number name one doing the exact same thing.

As title, i cannot use reddit (dot) com, it will always says password/username incorrect. I need to use old (dot) reddit (dot) com.

why

Historically, I've perceived Reddit as slightly left leaning, with strong pockets of conservatives. Recently though, a vast majority of comment sections seem to excuse violence, such as in this thread (TW: police brutality), where people say things like

And I'm seriously wondering when Reddit got so bad that the hivemind supports calls for violence. Are these humans? Are they bots? Why does reddit allow this conduct?

I use old.reddit.com, and had trouble logging in from there today. "Too many redirects". I also use the Redirect to old.reddit.com extension. When I disabled that, the login link it now takes you to is https://www.reddit.com/login/. That, of course, takes you to www.reddit.com.

The old 'popup' login box has been removed. I also noticed that the in sub logins where they used to have username/password entry boxes have been removed.

More reddit enshitification to try and make us use their horrible UI.

Good thing they were on point about not being willing to host it as long as he showed the guy's face -- everyone knows that videos that show a person's face are strictly forbidden on every social media platform.

I made an account 3 years ago to make a single post, which I wanted to be anonymous for. I logged in again today as I wanted an account for... um... science, and discovered I was banned a year ago. I find this ban incredibly odd as

1. I did not log into this account for two years between the post and the suspension
2. They do not state what rule I broke, which is not standard in my experience
3. They do not offer the opportunity to appeal, which I also believe is not standard
4. They tell me to make a new account. If I broke their rules, why would they want me to make a new account? Temp ban makes sense. Permaban makes sense. This makes no sense.

The only explanation I can think of is that they want to bump the user count.

I just wanted to peek at the front page. I guess they don't want people to use their shit anymore. I'm starting to believe in the dead internet theory.

So, I used the Reddit app a long time ago. I was eventually permanently banned for "report abuse" because I kept reporting people calling for genocide in Gaza. (This after I was banned from every news sub and many more for calling out the IDF's war crimes before it became mainstream.) Anyway. I deleted the app and all the data I could through the Android settings.

Three months later...

I created a new account so I can go to small, hobby-focused subs. I installed the app on my device and it tried to use my old credentials, which I attributed to the OS remembering it. I then made the mistake of commenting in r/news and got a 7 day ban for ban evasion. How the hell does it know? How can I completely clear their data off my device? Is it even possible now or is my device somehow marked for life?

I've been trying to log onto reddit for a while, but i'm having issues. Both the app and the website don't work. I live in Italy if that's relevant

An anticapitalist tech blog. Embrace the technology that liberates us. Smash that which does not.

So I ran Power Delete Suite as I periodically do. I have it configured to edit a comment and then delete it. It deletes comments that are older than 1 week old.

What was unusual was that within minutes I got the red envelope. And looking at it there was a response to a comment that I wrote 2 years ago.

So first thing is that as many were saying Reddit undeletes comments. I initially ignored that I saw some comments that I thought were deleted, but I assume it was because subreddits were locked and that's why they were invisible to Power Delete Suite, but this was on r/programming which was unlocked for quite some time (not sure if it ever was locked).

Second thing is the response within minutes.

So my 2 year old comment still exists and it's not showing up on my profile. I wouldn't even know about it is not for that response.

Of course this could be a coincidence, the account that responded to me is 9 years old, the content of it seems normal, although I saw comments on r/ChatGPT.

Though the timing bugs me off. If the comment is not from a real person maybe when Reddit restored it the AI code thought it was a new comment and responded to it.

Another thing that contributes to my suspicion of chatbots being deployed is that I noticed since the API protest and after they unlocked subreddits is that I get more upvotes and more responses than I used to.

Anyone observed something similar?

Promoting products on reddit by blatantly advertising in the comment section? Who would do such a thing?

Am I going crazy or has the reddit community got brain damaged. I mean nothing against you if you enjoy this kind of content but top page with 36k upvotes?

This is worse than third party apps dying, this is the actual content turning into Facebook level crap. I'd rather have the_donald at this point, at least it made me chuckle now and then. I'd rather scroll through TikTok if I wanted to see this kind of stuff. Feels like everyone there got lobotomized, and I don't buy that these are all bots upvoting and commenting.

I got banned from a subreddit because the BBC changed the article title. There are just too many rules and too many bad rules.

What the fuck.

My Reddit account would be 4 years old next week, but for some unknown reason I got permanently banned.

I genuinely don't understand why, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is part of the enshittification of Reddit Inc. I've never posted anything hateful or doxxed someone. Just mainly discussed Dutch football matches. That's it. I don't think discussing football breaks Reddit rules, right?

I guess I'm disappointed, because a lot of great, niche communities exist on Reddit which don't exist on Lemmy yet, so I now have nowhere to discuss some of my hobbies with random strangers on the internet.

Fuck Reddit and their shitty policy.

Old reddit still works, but trends don't look good.

Sadly the death is near.

New VPN block page.

She mentally abused you, cheated on you any chance she could get, ran up your credit cards and turned everyone against you.

Then 5 years later you see a tiktak of her with "link in bio"

Muahahahahaha

If that's not the textbook image of rats leaving a sinking ship, I don't know what is. "Fuck you. Got mine!"

The price pump that conveniently happened immediately after release sure was nice for Pig Boy Huffman, wasn't it.

Data on short positions become available tomorrow (April 9th) as referenced in this article so the roller coaster is only just getting started. It's gonna get wild once the market realizes what a house of cards Reddit is built on.
