Banned? DM Wmill to appeal.
No anti-nautilism posts. See: Eco-fascism Primer
Slop posts go in c/slop. Don't post low-hanging fruit here.
Its mostly bots nowadays like the rest of the platforms, it feels genuinely suffocating to try to find real content on them beyond hobbies.
As for hobbies, I think a lot stay due to the communities in question already having years of content on them, or can't be bothered to find other platforms (because their community isn't on the other platforms)
Userbase is probably way more than half bots now in the age of the LLM.
So happy I quit that website years ago. The niche subreddits were fun but the site's management and ownership is garbage. As with many online platforms, moderation depends strongly on unpaid labor while the ownership swims in the profits from selling ads and user data. Also doesn't help that it's chock full of ignorant, politically illiterate, overconfident chuds who blindly spout US government propaganda the minute you say anything remotely leftist and will autoban you from tons of subreddits if you're subscribed to leftist ones.
Maybe it's just enshitification and hopium but either more than 50% of "users" are bots or your average redditor is becoming indistinguishable from one.
A decade ago if you had a typo in the body of your post you'd get ripped to shreds now I constantly see highly upvoted posts and comments that are not only unintelligible they are incomprehensible.
I really can't believe there's 10s of thousands of people upvoting posts with titles like "what's then one thing you'd couldnt misrumber?"
There’s of a lot of users using AI I think.
"what's then one thing you'd couldnt misrumber?"
If has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like
thanks for the stroke
Shame we don't have an emoji of that kid.
My friend in his first year of university like 16 years ago found Reddit and told me about it and how much he liked it and stuff. People used to be kinda' proud to be a Redditor. I don't know if anyone's like that now. Last time I heard people be kinda' joyous or hopeful about an internet thing was Mastodon which kinda' fizzled out. Haven't heard people be proud to use a website in forever, maybe because it's almost non-optional now.
But yeah, I think Reddit is probably increasingly bots, either by the creators or by 3rd parties.
I did see a car not long ago with a reddit mascot Snoo bumpersticker as well as "NAFO" and NATO stickers and some doges/"fellas", that seems to be the type to be proud of being a redditor. NAFO on Wikipedia for those out of the loop
The volunteer nazlib propagandist feels like the last person on the internet who'd be enjoying it.
People were like that about TikTok for a while

Probably also an effect of llms being mostly trained on reddit bullshit

I thought it was just me. Reddit is fucking incoherent, add in fascism and pedophilia and you got the worst hellsite online outside of 4chan. But reddit is just a tad bit more polite.
I'd almost take the sincerity of 4 chan. At least they were self aware. Now you have the same ideologies with worse execution but they also think they're brilliant saviors of the white race rather than a bunch of CHUDs.
I get you, but I still don't think you're going to find much self-awareness from /pol/ the birthplace of qanon. Having to choose between literal neo-nazis and soft centrist neo-nazis of reddit, it's like pick your poison.
I've also noticed a lot of really highly upvoted comments on reddit lately calling out completely standard English as "incoherent" or something. Like it'll be a comment that's like "/r/titlegore wtf are you trying to say op" and I'll say "what do you not get, the title looks completely normal to me" and I'll get 0 replies and 50 down votes
Idk, the whole site has very weird vibes lately.
I only recently learned that the [word]_[word]-[number] username format is what’s assigned to new users and most don’t know how to change it.
So yeah in my head reddit is 90% bots manufacturing consent or whatever the US military wants reddit to say. They’ve done a great job obfuscating the difference between bots and people.
90% bots manufacturing consent or whatever the US military wants reddit to say
Most of the bots are just coincidentally manufacturing consent by reposting stale memes to farm karma to later sell the account for like 2$.
As somebody who had a couple of those usernames because I'd regularly make new accounts and wasn't gonna waste time coming up with clever or self identifying usernames it was equally annoying to have any valid criticism dismissed immediatly because somebody who had posted 48 times that day that kamala Harris is khalesi said you were a bot because of that username format.
But before they figured that one out it was just you getting a dozen "da, sure thing comrade ivan" comments anytime you pointed out Hillary was a dogshit candidate.
They've also been setting history to hidden by default for new accounts for a while so now can't see if an account is a bot or other stuff they've done if it's say an account posting content you enjoy.
I got banned there because I called some groyper a Nazi, which they are. I tried creating new accounts, but if you subscribe to the same subreddits then Reddit recognizes it's you and bans you anyway.
So yeah, that's why I'm here.
It's not subscribing to the same subreddits it's IP, cookies and device fingerprinting bullshit. Open it in a new browser on a VPN and you'll probably be fine, but then you run into more Reddit Fun Bullshit: you're effectively shadowbanned everywhere until you get to some arbitrary comment karma level.
I clear my cookies after every browser session and already use a VPN, so it must be the fingerprinting then. I also don't want to use a separate browser just for Reddit.
My account got hacked and then banned, then when I sent an appeal about being hacked they decided to go through with the ban anyway for no stated reason. Stupid ass website lmao.
have you seen gen x and boomers with facebook? millenials will provide iris scans to get in while they are in retirement home
I gave onlyfans my id so i could jerk it, I am fully fried and cooked
At that point you might as as well provide the print of your ballsack for verification.
I'd rather do that than my id tbh
It would be more invasive, but also more anonymous somehow? I don't know much about biometric tbh
Reddit is quite literally an Eglin AFB psyop.
if they met moot and had their tendrils on 4chan, who is to say they haven't on reddit after aaron died.
edit - how could i forget ghislaine maxwell's moderator status on a lot of subs.
death to reddit
Its working fine for me.
I think reddit is still successful because its one of the only places where you can still find something without any algo or log in. But stupider things have happend so whatever.
Without log in
I can read a post for about 5-10 seconds before it covers the text and tells me to download the app, so in my experience, that's just actively untrue
Yeah if I wanna talk about say a specific movie or game or book. There arent exactly a ton of places online with active discussion. Now yeah I dont use reddit to talk about politics....but to talk about my niche interests ? Its servicable
A lot are bots are this point. I would think.
What they do now?
Put old. behind a log in screen, so you need to use the shitass mobile version, download their bullshit app, or log in to be able to use the site. I created an account just to do this (i hate myself) and I’m able to use old. but everytime you open a page there’s a redirect loading screen. Hahah and I’m still using it LOOK AT THIS DUMBASS RIGHT HERE
just learn to type instead of redditdotcom redlib.nadekodotnet (good old nadeko, never hurt me)
well goddamn
I tried having an account numerous times but get banned everytime, highlights include :
If you want an acc on that site you have to be the most boring dweeb imaginable or you get banned, also leave any morals at the door
