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.
r/pics is absolutely bonkers. Not only it’s mostly not about the general pics and it’s mostly politics, but the pics are ALL anti-trump, anti-Elon etc. It’s supposed to be for pics and not a leftist political echo-chamber for showing how much they hate Trump and Elon. It’s so crazy.
Thats what some people need to learn. A street is for driving, yet it can be occupied to protest fascism. A factory is for producing stuff, yet can be occupied for protesting fascism (and other things). Thats what we‘re doing all around the world now and so help us science, we wont stop until the fascists fuck off.
Nah r/pics is pics and pics of anything are permitted there.
Naturally it represents the zeitgeist and what is on the collection of people’s minds who frequent that sub will determine the content.
Beggars can’t be choosers. If you want more specific rules, then find more niche subs. Simple as that.
Alternatively, don’t shove fascists down our throats and this wouldn’t happen.
