i opened reddit again today because silksong is finally out. went to see how the subreddit is going. (sadly, the silksong communities here are rather sane. r/silksong is still about 40-50% insane, but more sane posts are coming in)

front page is r/nextfuckinglevel. guy chopping wood uses a tire to keep the log upright to chop the wood easier.

i remember making a reddit acount because r/fiftyfifty and r/watchpeopledie. now its just advertiser friendly r/mildlyinteresting at best making the front page.

Basically what the title says. I commented on a post and sent a link to my comment to my wife to get her take on the post and my response. To start, the link just takes her to the topic and not my comment. If she tries to find my comment it isn't listed. If she manually goes to my profile and tracks down the comment all it says is "[Removed]". However, from my perspective the comment is still live with 1 view and no activity. I've tried closing my browser, refreshing the page and everything and for me the comment is still visible even on the page for the post. For everybody else though it has been removed.

The crazy thing is the comment isn't even controversial; somebody asked for marriage advice and I gave some. The "removal" seems to be automated too because I sent her the link basically as soon as I posted the comment and it was already shadow banned.

I’m so confused by how Reddit is being moderated now. I had someone follow me to various subreddits, responding to every comment I made with a particular anti trans slur, (the one that rhymes with “moon”, not sure if I’m allowed to say it here) and a demand that I join the “41 percent” (which basically means “kill yourself.”) I reported their account, just once, and it was the first time I’d ever reported anyone. A few hours later, I was permanently banned for “abusing the report button”. I tried making another account and was instantly banned. The accounts of other people in my household have also been permanently banned, which is the most confusing part of all of it.

The account that was harassing me is still up as far as I’m aware. So, apparently it’s fine to call people slurs and tell them to die, but they’re not allowed to complain about it.

So, I’m new to this place. I was told it was better.

the mod said they will unban him if he remove the post in /r/viking

And so I hopped on and deleted all the comments on that one too. Thanks random password request!

I’ve used Reddit for 4+ years and trusted this platform, but now I’m completely locked out of my account.

Password resets succeed but login still fails.

Google login shows “Invalid credentials.”

Login links just say “Something went wrong.”

10+ support tickets = nothing but useless automated bot replies.

No human help, no security, no accountability. All my time, posts, and data are just wasted because of Reddit’s broken system.

This is how @Reddit_Support treats long-time users. Absolutely shameful.

A somewhat sensationalist video. But a lot of good points are made. Preaching to the choir here...but I thought you would all like it.

Not plugging the MSN news feed - just pointing out how bad its gotten. Reddit use to be the alternative now its just slop.

TL;DR: A leaked Reddit admin policy change will reportedly limit accounts to moderating only one large subreddit (1M+ weekly viewers) and up to five medium-sized subreddits (100k+ weekly viewers). This is seen as a response to past subreddit blackouts over API changes, with some moderators allegedly planning to circumvent the restrictions. Here are some screenshots if you don't want to view the cancerous link:

Honestly. too little too late and for the wrong reasons. They should have done this 6-8 years ago.

I used to love Reddit. Back in the day, it was awesome, you had customizable commands for niche communities and you had enough control over the feed so as to not see bs all the time. My only prior experiences with social media had been Facebook and Twitter so the bar was really low, yet I loved it. Now it's just a horrible site to navigate. I have like 3 communities that make up 80% of my main feeds and for the life of me I can't seem to find a single human. Like all accounts are generic names with the same pattern: quirky writing style, posts and comments like crazy in maybe 3 communities, and is like less than 4 years old. Why? Why does this make sense to them? Who are they serving ads to?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been struggling to publish anything on Reddit. Every time I try to make a post, it either gets blocked, removed, or I get an error saying my account is restricted. I even tried creating a new account, but the same thing happens. Sometimes it also shows a message about “bad connection to the server,” even though my internet works fine.

So I wanted to ask:

• What’s the proper way to post on Reddit without getting flagged or blocked?

• Are there specific steps or tips to make sure a post gets approved by moderators?

• Could this be an account issue on my side, or just Reddit being buggy?

I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences you can share.

Thanks in advance!

They auto-translated Original Poster as Původní plakát where "plakát" does mean "poster" but only the kind that you hang on a wall.

Another win for auto translation.

Am I right? I just read three Reddit posts. Their formats and writing styles are so similar as if someone just used ChtGpt to mass produce posts

They must be desperate for us to shut the fuck up about the state of things!
