At this point you could probably start a third political party in the US with the sole issue of “stop fucking with the internet”.

Blegh, why is assraping tech at any cost the single bipartisan goal?

The vibes of 1AM at a house party where the hosts are arguing.

I’m way too afraid of having our codebase ripped by these shucksters to use those in-IDE ones, and good open models are still too big to be run locally.

It’s such a misery managing any account during a bubble. If you hold you lose when the knife falls, if you try to time it then everything stays irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

They’ll run it every few years until it passes.

You can do “temporary events” without approval where you just claim there are too many new people and can shut down most posting/commenting for a week. Not sure if there’s an explicit limit, but if you do it too many times they’ll probably take the sub from you.

You can disable video and images, go text-only, and turn off media in comments. You can set the wrong language so it gets surfaced to the wrong people. Max out all “safety filters”. Arbitrarily mute and ban people, and don’t respond or explain why. Become extremely hardline about something stupid, add it to the rules and be as insufferable as possible about it. There will be a lot less oversight if you pretend the changes are you taking some strong moral position on something.

A good one to go for is spam. Basically consider any mention of any brand/product/show/site/etc advertising and pretend everyone is an astroturf bot and be ban happy. Since a large chunk of reddit is actually this it will be hard for admin to figure out when you aren’t acting in good faith. Other good things to go after are kids or adult content, or things that it would look bad for a public company to be defending.

Set up automoderators that remove really broad sets of keywords that could arguably be related to what you’re going after, but are going to have tons of false positives. If the keywords overlap with what the sub is about, even better.

It was legal before?
