News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

MODERATORS
All of social media is dying before our eyes. every platform is basically fully botted or actively dying, even lemmy seems to have fallen off quite a bit
I am working on LLM detection for the threadiverse. But other than one idiot last week spamming LLM posts and comments there hasn't been much.
There are in politics conversations, but still not nearly as bad as reddit. Even before I left, it was like a weird kind of prolific dead. Kind of like the conversations in OP's pics.
It's actually the blessing of not being big enough to attract their attention
Just going to put my tinfoil hat on for a sec…
Part of me does wonder if the seemingly pointless proliferation of ai slop like this botting is being done intentionally to fast-track a ‘need’ for identity verification (and thus more precise tracking and surveillance).
ID verification is already being pushed on a few fronts (like to ‘save the kids from social media’ or whatever), maybe this is just one of many irons in the fire.
With ID verification then Facebook etc could angle themselves as ‘save havens’ from an ai slop enshittified internet. You’d essentially have to completely give up your anonymity to participate in interactions with other verified humans.
So your choices become:
Surely sites like reddit or Facebook, if they tried, could control this stuff otherwise?
Do you have an example of what you mean?
from a different account since feddit.online wont show me this comment
There's nothing new happening on this platform, literally the frontpage consists of:
The majority of posts are made by the same people.
As someone here since ~2022, I've seen the frequency of posts continue to fall.
