Reddit is completely compromised. Fuckin sad to see. I got Perma banned about a week ago so I suppose there’s nothing I’ll be missing out on. I hate to sound hyperbolic but the internet we once knew is gone. For a brief moment I. Human history we had almost unrestricted access to the wealth of human knowledge, paired with the ability to form niche forums accessable to everyone within our reach and we squandered it.
End of an era. Now the internet is a circlejerk fest of bots, slop, and propaganda. I migrated to Lemmy, seems like it’s starting to hit another wave of growth. I don’t see social media having the utility it once did, especially the mainstream sites.
Hell, even Google is slop nowadays. I always prided myself on my Google skills, being able to quickly find answers to whatever I needed. Now the first results are some slop pages that just spew out false information. Even with an adblocker it’s a pain to use.
So for years now I often added “reddit” to any Google search, but that lost its value too.
Yeah. Something. Like 75-80% of all content on the internet is AI generated now. Might be much worse since that figure was hit a while ago.
The internet isn’tade for humans anymore, which is ultimately something I don’t understand. Ai chat bots have taken over and we’re calling it “intelligence”.
For what? So a few rich fucks can eek out every last penny from us. If you’re human, I hope you’re well. Maybe getting off the internet is what we really need
Reading this announcement felt like an April Fools’ joke.
r/all is still working for now though, but wtf.

Generally I should be less online anyway (:

I guess we can still have small safe heavens for humans though.
Like I have a Discord server I like chatting on. And just being here on Lemmy again for a day I had more interactions than in a month on Reddit.
