Makes sense, Reddit feels like a shell of it's former self.
After the apicalypse many subs seems to have died, also the new UI that has been pushed for a decade or so, seems to promote consumption of content and discourage creation of content, further reducing new content.
Reddit has been many, many times by AI companies, why keep scanning if the content stays 98% the same, with most new content being of mostly lower quality, simply due to people posting AI shit.
This was a very predictable outcome.
As soon as Reddit's history got scanned by AI models, it lost 98% of it's future value.
I swear Reddit started changing as soon as Trump won. I think reddit did such a great job of exposing Republican lies and grifts that some rich ass hole just said we will express interest in investing if you start censoring your content and now here we are
/r/the_donald was one of the most active forums pushing Trump.
The r/AskRedit thread that got me banned permanently was asking how people thought the Trump presidency would end. You could tell by the amount of "Post deleted by user" and "post removed by reddit" that the general consensus was that eventually someone would hit the bullseye and finally ventilate this sack of shit's skull. I observed that it's telling that they are so against even discussing threats of violence, that it makes the mods complicit in the crimes of the regime. Fun fact/spoiler alert: The mods did not like getting called out like that.
I don't get how they hate violence when I was last there it was full of drone videos blowing bits of Russians I to the air.
because the admin are secretly right-wing sycophants or Neoliberals who think every political problem can be solved by "talking out our differences to find a middle ground."
I'm no tankie, and I do always hope that a peaceful solution can be found, truly I do, but the cold fact is that the most effective cure to actual, demonstrable fascism is BULLETS. Preferably "early and often."
But this is veering into politics so back to discussing reddit
