Reddit is mostly ai bots, & bots, and maybe a few genuine users.

I had my 18yo account 0erma-banned by ai. Then, ai reviewed ai … … ai said ai was correct but would send it up for further review… … by another ai. Who sent it to a human… … and the human sent me an apology. “Sometimes, we get things wrong. Your account has now been fully re-instated. We are sorry.” … and then ai stepped in and overrode the humans mods.

HAL 9000 is not fiction.

Reddit is gone move on

I cant get into old reddit anymore. Im kinda bummed as there is some subreddits like the litrpg community I cant find here or anywhere on the fedi. Oh well…

I have to say, this war on Old Reddit is doing wonders to curb my Reddit use.

So when the shitty AI moderation kills your latest account, your new one won’t be able to access the only decent interface. Good to know.

I only use reddit now to mod two subreddits. If I lose that account, that’s it, I’m gone. I already stopped posting news to my local city one because I just don’t care enough.

bye Felicia

existing users who haven’t used it for six months will also be barred.

Wow, that really is awful. If I don’t use Reddit every six months I’m permanently kicked out of it?

I rarely go there, but when I do want to look up something I like to have the option.

(pls don’t pretend like new reddit exists, thx)

While I still browse reddit, all my interactions are made here and will stay that way.

Platform killed itself. Userbase is half bots, and out of the rest a majority of them are the tic-toc crowd.

Spez trying to act like our content is his cash cow. Get off Reddit if you’re still there because pretty soon it’ll just be spez and bots, already is mostly.

That change helped reduce scraping and automated abuse, but still allowed any logged-in account to access Old Reddit, including accounts with no prior Old Reddit use.

To close this gap, in the next few months, we’ll further limit access for logged-in users to only those who have used Old Reddit in the last six months

How horrible, ANY logged-in account can just access old reddit?? That needs to be fixed asap, how dare new users just use old reddit when they have a perfectly good shreddit available to them. — Reddit admins apparently

Nice admission there. Didn’t expect them to be this open about their true feelings on the matter.

I wish Lemmy was as searchable as Reddit.

Just realized I’ve not visited reddit in months now. The info id typically find there is now out of date, and anything that is valuable you need to wade through useless bland repetitive comments, obvious attention whores, and advertisements posing as content. It’s just not worth the time for me anymore.

I still follow some webcomics and search for things occasionally on Reddit. Using Redlib has been fantastic. Don’t need to worry about their interface changes. Don’t need to worry about having an account. Just input the few subscriptions I need into the Redlib docker container. All my devices are setup to redirect Reddit links to my Redlib deployment.

Hufflepig strikes again!

We know RSS has been a beloved part of the open web for a long time, and we’re grateful to everyone who used it to stay connected to Reddit,

It’s like they aren’t even listening to the words they are saying themselves
