The first 6-12 months here (during/right after the Reddit API drama) were great. After that…not so much.

    I keep getting banned for the dumbest shit these days. God forbid you insult Nancy pelosi for some reason. I got banned for jokingly saying “pour beans in his mouth” as petty revenge for someone farting in a CPAP. It’s is getting dumbed down so bad over there

      The frontpage was never good, but hooo boy.
      Every time I catch a peek now it’s the same Am I the Asshole (they’re obviously not), Am I Overreacting (My husband called me 15 different slurs, AIO???), and the same stupid AskReddit questions (Americans of Reddit, how do you feel living in a ruined country?)

      I swear, back then there were bots reposting old posts and reply chains, now they must be AI generating the whole thing because all the frontpage shit is the exact same posts, following the same format, day after day.

      At this point I wouldn’t go back even if rolled back their shitty changes.

        If Reddit ever disclosed how many “users” were bots, I’m quite confident it would be >80%. 95%+ of everything we see on the front page. Now consider who is running those bots, and why. What kind of opinions are they trying to shape?
