Well I was banned for saying there’s never a bad time to punch a nazi in the face in response to a screenshot of Indiana Jones doing just that. So good. Fuck reddit.
There's never not a good time.
Wow careful! You might get banned… 🤦🏻
fuckem
I would be OK with Spez experiencing irreversible severe anal prolapse.
I hope when he gets canned they also ban him from the site itself.
He will have a golden umbrella unfortunately.
The more I use Reddit the more I feel like it's a waste of time.
Every time I use it now I usually get into trolly arguments with others. It's just not a happy place anymore. "Reddiquite" (spelling) died a long time ago.
The biggest issue I have is the big "subreddit" gatekeeping. Realistically at this point, every major "subreddit" is purely controlled by the core corporation. There is not decentralization of Reddit at all, and all the "mods" are just working for free pretending like they're in control because they can do some things. The smartest thing Reddit did is make "mods" feel like they have some control.
Reddit Drives away Their entire user base.
Reddit - "oh no what happened to my user base?"
Fuck off reddit
1% of people actually contribute. Many of those 1% have left or were banned for criticizing the president and ICE. The comments I see lately are becoming more like instagram. Just easy observations and drivel. Some of them are like paragraphs of AI slop that hurts my brain trying to comprehend.
Well yeah, everyone trained off the data there already. Reddit (or heck, any social media) is just the same old cyclical shit. The AI deals were not a sustainable long-term model, and I'm surprised no one at Reddit, or these companies selling their users data against their wishes, could see that. Like that was the shortest term cash flow they could've gone for, and now their reputation and trust is in shambles.
Trained off all existing data + Miniscule amount of valuable new content is made after this = No more need to train off new data.
It’s all bots and influence ops over there anymore
The bots have doubled since companies figured out AI chatbots scrape the site and use its comments as gospel.
Bots for at least 10 years, the influencing and viral marketing has been going on since forever, though.
Lets try to keep the conversation related to Rampart.
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
Digg that.
Too bad digg failed a second time
Stop perma banning people for bullshit reasons.
"I wonder what we did to drive away engagement."
Better hire a consulting agency for $500k
I don't think you can count on that level of introspection.
They have screwed it up so bad I literally find myself on Facebook more often then Reddit and that's after being gone from Facebook for like 20 years lmao
