That is the dumbest feature I’ve ever heard for a public website, if you have to hide the things you say because it’s so unpopular maybe keep it to yourself. If you had a weird question you made a burner account, this is the way.
its a perfect feature for building a cult
Shadow banning people, deleting posts, absolutely rife bot use, lots of power in a small number of reddit employee/moderator’s hands are all absolutely rife on reddit. It is a lot more subtle than X’s shitness, but it is well on its way to being as bad.
The funny thing is that the data they sell AI’s is so heavily curated as to be incredibly biased. The data that isn’t heavily curated is largely the opinions of chronically online, internet addicted people.
I laugh when conservative dipshits cry about reddit being left-wing
It’s not
Not even close
It’s just that the Overton window in 'Murica is so fucking right that anything slightly left of fascism is decried as far-left
It’s certainly not helped by the fact that 'Muricans are mostly stupid and have zero idea about political theories at all
I got banned from r/childfree because their “top mod” was upset that I put up a post of his saying that women who take advantage of lonely men should be hunted down and killed. He was also a huge fan of ICE doing their shitfuckery
And that’s a sub that’s supposed to be one of the progressive ones…
It used to be. At least willing to host “left wing” ideas. Then the money bros got into it. I personally left after the api debacle. Should
ofhave done it sooner.WHen spez starting sucking of MUSK like a couple times, which resulted in a ban wave when elon complained that its already a sign.
those days are long over, pre-2016 was the place to have left leaning ideas, but after trump got elected the 1st term, people started getting bans left and right, and politics sub began its astroturfing.
No, you probably should have instead.
Anyone who thinks reddit is in anyway left leaning should just scroll popular for 10 posts. I garuntee one of them will be “woman gets what she deserved” and another one will just be outright racism thinly disguised by a fake story made to rile people up against a minority.
I have had stupid yanks tell me (without a hint of irony) that there are concentration camps in my country full of people who refused covid vaccines, and that’s why we should all be armed
It’s not just the ignorance. The school system in the US is fucking abysmal. It’s the fact that they’re so arrogantly confident in their ignorance that galls
space was complaining about LEMMY too, i was like bitch you are part of the problem by still using reddit. if thier multiple ban waves and shadowbans wasnt a red flag, i dont know what is.
and yes its mostly bots. propaganda bots, plus OF/link dropping bots spamming some subs to make a presence, and warming up thier accounts.
It’s because Reddit Mods, all of them, are spineless shills that are SO terrified of pissing off Reddit admins and losing their unpaid jobs/power trips. that’s all it is. they’re all the same. every. single. one. of them.
I mean. That’s because there was a ton who weren’t so reddit when through and kicked them out of mod teams. That’s a large part of why reddit is so much worse these days
reddit is a husk, why continue to engage?
The discovery is being cut up, wtf?
First time I heard about that, apparently Texas republicans want it moved to their state for populist reasons, irregardless of any practicalities. https://www.space.com/space-exploration/the-smithsonian-might-have-to-cut-space-shuttle-discovery-into-pieces-to-get-it-to-texas The space shuttles used to be transported on the back of a specially adapted Jumbo jet, which isn’t going to exist anymore, hence the cutting up + exorbitant cost to transport it.
Well, it is Reddit, after all. What did OP expect?
“the mods who freely give their time to a bootlicking, greedy shithole of a company are also bootlickers! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?” -u/Mboomo
Yeah theres a dude on there posting pro-Elon Musk content every day it seems.

Is it just that they don’t want politics on r/space?
You can’t separate spaceflight from politics. Everything about it is political. The people who claim they “don’t want to hear about politics” just don’t want to hear about opposing viewpoints.
No. The second pic mentions that posts about Biden’s NASA strategies are allowed and still up.
So it seems that anyone can criticise him, but when it comes to criticising the King Orange Paedo it’s taken down asap.
