Now Reddit’s not just promoting ragebait and AI generated stories, but divisive conservative rhetoric. Anyone else notice the non-political subreddits spontaneously hosting a population of chuds and propagandists where a few weeks ago they weren’t tolerated?

Has reddit changed the algorithm? Has some nation begun its bot operation? Has reddit deployed bots at musk’s behest? Has twitter sent its worst users to brigade? (All of twitter’s users are its worst users) I don’t know, but the effect is striking. All I’m certain about is that I’m avoiding reddit even harder now.

        Yeah there was one about a year and a half ago when all that shit happened with the third party apps, then again very recently as people have become disillusioned with corporation-owned social media.

        They just banned pretty much all nsfw subs because of a “bug”, including abuse support subs. Probably due to that.

        And there was the white people twitter ban, as well as some Musk critical subs a day or two before the"bug".
