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.
I’d agree, but I went to check reddit the other day and a post from r/conservative bitching about “leftists” was on the front page with 400 upvotes surrounded posts with thousands of more votes. Kept scrolling and more of them were showing up. I know reddit is bad, but I never used to see this many ragebait posts on the front page.
