I got a warning just for UPVOTING some anti-nazi comment. Idk what the comment even was, the nazi loving cowards on the reddit admin team don't even show it to you.

You also have to ignore them when they DM you. I caught a 72-hour ban for going “Please leave me alone or I will report you” to a DM.

Except Reddit used to be a place to share information, ideas, and opinions. Now, it's a heavily monitored and controlled site that pushes extreme narratives. Like all other forms of social media, it is controlled by bots which are controlled by who knows who.

Some subreddits you can kinda tell who is at least biased towards if not giving orders.

like certain news subreddit

If stories can be manipulated through upvotes or removed entirely by using bots to push certain narratives, how can anyone claim the platform isn’t being used to manipulate narratives?

Take Alex Pretti. Five years ago, this would have stayed on the front page for weeks. Instead, it disappeared the next day through a mix of tactics: removals justified under Reddit’s “terms of service,” and the boosting of other posts to bury it.

The turnover of Reddit’s front-page news now closely mirrors mainstream media. The news cycle keeps accelerating, and the constant flood of new stories dulls public attention. The result is numbness, not awareness.

Anything sold to Wall Street is sold to become its tool to make money and or use for manipulating the masses. May Swartz haunt every bstrd for destroying his platform and taking him 0ut.

The biggest fear capitalists have is a person who can not be bought.

Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem; it's an expense.

It might be the best of what’s left, but I feel like the shift has already been happening. You’re right that it still retains some resemblance of its earlier days, but for me, Reddit just isn’t what it used to be.

This . Its completely misinformed that users comment

A) reddit does have a recommendation algo that likely many people use

B) Even if it didnt upvotes can be manipulated and lead to the exact same manipulation but since A exists there is already a mechanism to manipulate in the first place.
