Quitter Reddit

Just checked in on the subreddit mentioned in this post. It’s still getting bot posts in the same style, which get upvoted accordingly and commented on with the vast majority not noticing or caring that it’s slop. Mods still out to lunch.

I just found out reddit sold everything we wrote to AI companies… and honestly I don’t know how to feel

Reason number 5,386 to delete your Reddit account and encourage your friends & loved ones to do the same.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out. (Have to sign in to read the whole article, but you can see the first couple paragraphs.)

Post is basically the title.

along with the strong censoring that has occurred on reddit throughout the years, they have now removed r/all from the app and while using a desktop/laptop browser. instead of being able to stumble upon new subreddits you never knew existed, it wants to curate what you’re allowed to see

Paul McCartney’s official Reddit account seems to have been banned. The account, u/paulmccartney, had just dropped a set of photos and videos from the first night of his shows at the Fonda Theatre. It went straight into the r/PaulMcCartney subreddit. Then, not long after, the whole thing disappeared.

I refused to believe an “artificial intelligence” could write a realistic post title, but then I saw this series of posts. Now I’m 10 feet tall and can move objects with my mind.

First they came for the new accounts but I did not speak out because I did not have a new account…

Steve Huffman, Reddit’s CEO, said that using biometrics is the “most lightweight way” to verify that it’s a human.

This is just 5 of the links and their about 10+ links on the subreddit asking for the head mod to step down

Almost scrolled by their post because it was so stupid and hateful that I just assumed it was a joke. Apparently it wasn’t

Ever since abandoning ship I’ve maintained a negative (1 star) review every time there is an update for the app. My review contained no swearing or anything else that I think would break a rule.

An investigation into the AI bots that appeared on Reddit after they partnered with OpenAI.

I’m honestly confused about what Reddit is doing with their AI filters now. I tried posting in r/help a while back because I needed actual help, and the post got removed instantly. The mod message said something about “AI‑generated content,” even though I wrote it myself.

DHS is expanding its use of administrative subpoenas, which don’t come from judges.

Sometimes I find old Reddit posts on search engines, and when I look at them the top commenter’s account is deleted. This has happened many times, and I was curious about the general statistics of this.

Recently, the top mod of r/antimeme has been announced dead by another mod. https://old.reddit.com/r/antimeme/comments/1r1id73/rest_in_peace_course/

Leak show feds tracking anti-ICE Reddit users like “Budget-Chicken-2425”

Reddit is just pissing me off more and more by the day. Every single post (at least a solid 4/5ths of them) ends up getting auto-filtered. Sick of it…

Marketers and their bots have been using reddit to hype up brands. No wonder Reddit feels like shit these days.

The feedback has been received and the topic of politics is once again banned. This does not mean political streamers are banned. We do not have any banned streamers and so long as they are not discussing politics, their clips are welcome. In the event of major news (such as a political assassination, major declarations of war, hard to predict these types of things and not get put on a list) you may request an exception. If we make an exception for a topic, we will accept 1 political post per streamer.

After years of litigation, courts ultimately sided with Reddit in a decision now referred to as the “Rogozinski Ruling,” a precedent that grants platforms broad authority to assert trademark ownership over user-created communities. That ruling now forms the basis for Reddit’s demand that the words “WallStreetBets” be physically removed from the event. “They aren’t afraid of the name being used,” said Rogozinski. “If they were, they’d have to sue the internet. What they’re afraid of is the creator hanging out with his creation. They’re afraid of the community’s independence. And they’re afraid it’s evolved into something bigger than a subreddit.”

On Saturday morning, a Reddit user who has posted about living in Minneapolis for years shared a video on the city’s subreddit, r/Minneapolis, with the title “Another ICE murder in front of Glam Doll Donuts.”

This is a rare good one, here is the post:
