Reddit is a shell now, and they're desperately filling it with AI.
Old search results, mostly.

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
The majority of reddit content is bots, shills, and astroturfing
And there is some people who still use it (30%?).
I mean, all the leftists on Reddit... left.
Exactly over 2 years now I far left and got the fuck off Reddit. Soon as RIF died I left.
Reddit has always been right wing. I've seen the comments on us arabs on terrorist attacks. Fucking disgusting.
Has it, or were there always pockets of all kinds of schools of thought? It seemed that way to me at least until Spez decided money was more important than anything else and a good chunk of the left-leaners decided they'd be better off elsewhere.
That's not a pejorative, by the way. I'm a left-leaner. And I, well, left.
I'd say i'm very left wing, too. But reddit always felt off to me, like i wasn't meant to be there. I see why now, due to them saying this stuff about us when they can.
but the majority are just conservatives/faux-liberals who'd sell you out and your race for their own convenience, anyway.
It was much less overt and fascistic in like 2011, fuck I’m old
The racism is definitely there, you can scroll like three posts on trending and there it is again. One of the main reasons I left.
I was going to screenshot some examples from a single thread, but there were too fucking many. Holy shit.
I'm not much of a reddit defender as i pretty much left this place same time as everybody else. However there's always been a very clear trend in this kind of subreddits. Places like "noahgettheboat" or "iamapieceofshit" or "thatsinsane" systematically attract the worst kind of misanthropic low-lifes. People will see the most abject violence and laugh "haha he fucked around and found out" and of course this makes the most fascistic types feel at home.
I don't think they are representative of the overall slant of the community. Most places are progressive by default.
Reddit is corporate, of course the FP will be sanitized. But the real disgusting part are the obscure or small subreddits.
I've seen comments praise Europa as a "documentary" when it is just neo nazi propaganda. Lemmy has shortcomings but at least I can call this out without being downvoted to obscurity (TBF my main comment is pretty controversial but I think that's just because how I worded it)
That's why it's important to heavily curate your corporate social media feed. If you see a community where this kind of comments are heavily upvoted just hide it and move on, there's not that many and most of the niche interests are still relatively clean places.
Always buddy?
Yes.
Riddle me this who do you think created reddit?
Aaron Swartz, I know. that does not change the fact that reddit has been racist for an incredibly long time.
Racist or right wing?
They're the same picture
I was mainly talking about my experience of racism on reddit, so the former.
As for the latter the majority are liberals. I never spent time in big subs so I wouldn't know
How is reddit right wing? Half of the posts on there bashes Trump, and praise Biden.
I'm left wing, and it feels like most of reddit has become a left wing echo chamber
Spoiler alert: Biden isn't left wing
What is left wing?
No, it has not. And it's still very progressive.
progressive
??? If reddit is progressive then 4chan is moderate.
Ffs, they even push anti semitic conspiracy theories saying to watch europa.
https://web.archive.org/web/20201012004528/https://old.reddit.com/r/exmuslim/comments/j96358/nonarab_muslims_are_arab_bootlickers/ (on ex muslim but calls arabs sand n*rs)
Cherry picking comments isn't a good argument. Browse r/politics.
Not only are those comments highly upvoted, they are high up in the comment section.
So? There's hundreds of thousands comments daily that are liberal comments. Where even are these comments you found posted? You may have had a bad experience, but most of reddit is very liberal.
It is objectively very liberal.
It IS liberal, and those same people will turn against us the moment they realise we aren't dogs that listen to every order. They do this every election season and throw minorities under the bus. They're faux liberals.
Where even are these comments you found posted?
Literally after the #2 comment under the post, what are you talking about.
I didn't mention any post, I'm not sure what you are talking about. Honestly, dude, maybe you should just stop going there?
Hell, maybe even just get off the internet for awhile. You're downvoting comments you don't agree with and arguing over stupid shit. Move on.

Dude, you started this argument, not me. And what you think the downvote button is for?
Saying I'm unwell after 3 replies is unhinged. I've seen your other replies in this thread; clearly you are just a prick who likes to argue with people.
You made a flagrantly false statement based on your emotions?
I've provided proof for my claims and you haven't. Seems like you're the one making emotional claims.
Why ya reading it?
It's a garbage site full of garbage people. Except for the people that I like on Reddit.
