Random Rant: I feel like reddit died after they banned all the “unmoderated” communities. All the posts became sanitized. Now reddit is adding AI and streaks and NFTs to keep people on a platform that has no more content.

This is what really shocked me about reddit, was how it’s this really huge entity whose owners just somehow didn’t notice that the front page being shown to everyone by default contained stuff from subs that were really very blatantly and obviously manipulated by mods not being on the level. I realize you can’t police every one of the thousands of active subs on there, but what gets to go to the front page shouldn’t need much curation.
Yeah. The mod infiltration by bad actors really sucked. What was it like 50 people that were basically modding entire site? Then you have unmodded communities that get banned and you can’t create a new one because the other one was banned. It’s like the catch-22 they use to keep communities in check.
It absolutely was and is like that.
The thing is, when those horrible posts got boosted to the front, it just made for more drama, more “engagement” and more links being shared across other social media sites.
Reddit ignoring their responsibility to administrate wasn’t a bug, it was a feature.
It’s the same as what Jubilee is doing now, boosting the worst voices on both sides, making people hate each other more and giving people a distorted view of demographics in our country. It’s line going up at the expense of everything we’ve worked the last several thousand years to build. I’m happy I was banned and will never return, I just wish more people would realize what these places are doing to us all.
They sure love to admin now. The silence of Reddit admin drove me crazy. Especially when I tried to run my own subs.
