ITT: Reddit addicts talk about how shitty reddit is but they still need it for their very special reason.
Real and heterosexual.
Being on Reddit is like being on Facebook. We have been warned.
It’s worse because the mods can be trolls.
> be me bored 4Channer > click on obvious bot account using ChatGPT > want to check post history for confirmation > realize this is fucking 4Chan... there's no such thing as history > wtf.jpgPretty simple solution.
Stop using reddit.
any other places with pseudo tech support or tech hardware reviews?
Easy to say and want, but harder to do. There’s so much more activity especially for niche subjects it’s hard to quit. As soon as Lemmy gets all that, I’ll finally be able to leave.
Jesus Christ, man.
From your comment, I guess you’re thinking about porn. I’m thinking about r/Delta for my flights information, r/IASIP for my favorite tv show, r/2007scape for my favorite video game discussion, r/ASTSpacemobile for my favorite stock… ya know, not very good communities on here for all that yet. Once those are on here, I can finally leave Reddit.
It takes, on average, seven attempts to leave an abusive relationship.
No, I wasn’t talking about porn, at least that would be a real addiction. I’m sure your reasons are totally respectable and unique.
In the search bar type
Author:(username)
Shows you every post and comment they’ve made, including “hidden” ones, with more sort options than their actual profile.
This worked for me for a little while, but then some update must have patched it up.
Not long after, a redditor dropped the following link:
Any post or message containing this link is auto-banned immediately on reddit. Even though bot infestation has been a problem for a bit, I think a lot of actual redditors set their profiles to prevent A.I. scraping
Literally used it today with no problems 🤷♂️
I’m pretty sure this doesn’t work if a user has hidden their posts
It 100% does. Did it earlier today.
Gotta love clientside permissions implementations
Competent devs solved that like in 2007…
forums aren’t meant to have hidden profiles
Well it hides it from your profile, but it’s still publicly posted on Reddit. It’s just searching the entire site. Bit silly that it doesn’t filter your username from the search function when turned on though.
A lot of people don’t realise you can still see all their posts. I mainly use Reddit for porn these days and a lot of times people will post nudes with their face censored, hide their posts, then show their face in regular subreddits not realising it’s all still searchable.
Eventually their stock price will crater if the platform hollows out any more. Companies pay a lot of money for advertisements and they measure the effectiveness of the ads. Ad platforms (usually) spend a lot of money to ensure that impressions aren’t wasted on bot traffic.
If you shed your user base while amplifying bot accounts, there’s no reason for companies to bring their ad spend to you.
Once again MBA greed and short term thinking wrecks something that had value.
Not wrecked. Cashed out. It’s intentional, and they’re just making as much as they can get away with, before the well dries out.
It’s wrecked for the users, sure, but this is what capitalism is. Stealing and selling what others created, for profit, fucking them over.
Bingo, they know what theyre doing, theyre enshittifying.
Gotta squeeze all the blood out of the stone.
They know theyre going down, theyre deciding to make as much money as possible while doing so.
Who cares if that causes mass spread of mis and disinformation? That ain’t illegal, and it is profitable.
Yeah but their terminal failure mode is making the case for Lemmy far more impactfully than its own creators ever can, so there’s that
happy little accidents
Also, if they do not reign in the bots, their data becomes useless for AI companies, so these deals will stop to pay too.
Didn’t they just lose those deals and drop in value a month or two ago?
Haven’t checked myself but a while back someone told me you can still find the posts and comments if you search for the user. So that basically just adds an extra step
The irony is that me, a real person, gets banned and banned some more, for saying something pro-Republican back in 2012, while these bot accounts spray slop all over the site with immunity.
It’s ok, I’ve been perma-banned for stating the simple fact that Andrew Tate deserves to be beaten to death in a dark and hopeless Brazilian prison. So they’ve come full circle.
to be fair, you should be banned from everywhere, where people have civil discussions. Once for promoting murder, obviously, and then again for not knowing the difference between opinion and fact.
It’s not murder if you’re killing a pest
It’s not murder if you’re killing a pest
that’s literally nazi rhetoric.
like, hitler literally used that exact argument.
No, this argument was used against a group of people not a specific and prolific single human trafficker and rapist.
That sucks man. I got banned for “anti-Zionism”. Reddit really has become a meaningless wasteland for anyone with political opinions.
FUCK ALL ZIOS, UNLOVINGLY
are you still republican?
