    Reminds me of back in 2013 when Reddit admins accidentally revealed that Eglin Air Force Base, a location often cited as the source of government social-media propaganda/astroturfing programs, was the most Reddit addicted city in the world.

    First the removesort by controversial, and then you can’t even see controversial posts. Soon there will be no conflicting opinions, just a hive mind echo chamber.

    Yeah I got signaled on reddit for saying something about Trump, Elon and Vance regarding to Ukraine. Nothing that hasn’t been said, but I said they can fuck off and stop propping Russian imperialism and kidnapping children while commiting warcrimes. Guess Reddit is against that as they removed my comment and gave me a warning.

      Also biased admins, there are places that are manipulated for disinformation purposes. It is kind of scary, when the sceptical view point gets deleted or thread blocked for no other reason than harming their often made up narrative.

      Edit. Thread blocked as in you are blocked from posting and they can have a last rotten cherry on top

    Seriously though, who still uses Reddit? It’s nothing but a left wing echo chamber, just like BlueSky.

      They aren’t and, if they were, is that a problem?

      Look at what right-wing echo chambers have led to. Look at what the “centrist” internet has led to.

      Its 2025 and there are still people on the Fediverse convinced that the problem is the “left”. Utterly divorced from reality.

        Also, neither were designed specifically as such, unlike social sites like Truth. Plus, Twitter and Facebook are heavily dominated by right leaning groups.

    Fuck it, I’m going to delete the account that I used to get over a previous permaban. I’ll read, but not post. No point in just posting anyway.

    I’m glad that I don’t use Reddit and have no intention on doing so. I remember there was a very talented artist who was wrongfully accused of using AI and banned on the art subreddit. That artist got banned even though receipts were shown to the mods proving the art was not AI, and I guess with this policy, I’d be at risk of being banned from Reddit altogether because I for sure would’ve upvoted the art if I did have a Reddit account, it was amazing.
