I know Reddit now has a stupid rule or policy about new accounts posting or commenting. They punish new users for just trying to have a conversation. Why does Reddit hate privacy? Is it just in the system trying to filter out bots? Well, it is doing a shitty job since bots are still a high percentage there. Reddit banned me, even when I was on the new user friendly subs. I tried with multiple locations with a VPN too. This has to make people go to other platforms. Like I did, I moved here.
Who gives a shit about reddit, everything owned by a corporate is a propaganda machine with one goal only, dictating the narrative. Thats called dictature. #selfhosting #privacy #fuckdictature #fuckreddit
I give a shit about poisoning all the LLM models scraping Reddit and in doing so undermining all the traffic measurements pandered to Wall St. every quarter.
Everything? Probably not. The important stuff like major subs pertaining to news, politics, religion, and specific culture topics? Most definitely. I doubt r/dragonsfuckingcars is deep state reddit propaganda.
Who mentioned deep state? You make is sound like a conspiracy, but facts are undeniable. Reddit delete posts and ban users leaving exclusively posts and users that serve their purpose . Considering who owns reddit (Advance Magazine Publishers (Condé Nast’s parent), Fidelity Investments, and Vanguard Group) we can include the deep state so thank you for the reminder. r/dragonsfuckingcars and similar subs with 3 users and 100s bots are there to keep the barrack credible.
You see, even if i didn´t agree with you didn´t get downvoted, shadow-banned or banned. It is called freedom of speech.
Its sarcasm, I guess I could have added the /s for clarity. I mean yeah you’re being reasonable but I’ve definitely been downvoted around some parts of Lemmy for not being fervently in agreement (not even technically in disagreement). Some parts around here get pretty kooky and cultish, particularly revolving around some countries and political ideologies, and AI but to a degree that’s always expected online.
