Approved Bots
Reddit has become unusable. I had an account there for 7 years and no problem. I tried checking out Reddit again this year and I got permanently banned within a day. You can't say anything there anymore cause you'll inevitably piss off a power hungry mod who will ban you for nothing. There's no longer discussion to be had there.
I made a comment on the Gladiator 2 trailer, asking why Danzel is playing Micrinus, who was North African but of Roman blood and born in Alegeria and raised in Africa as a provincial. And pointed out how it's similar to that Cleopatra documentary inaccurately thinking that all people in Africa, even Egypt and North Africa were black. I pointed out Micrinus was Berber which were originally a more white race who mixed with Arab blood, so they were like a slightly darker skinned Romans, but not black.
I was banned for "racist commentary and bigotry"
Whaaaa. You mean the volunteer scabs appointed by Reddit admins to replace the "power tripping mods" (pissed off Redditors, 2023) are even more power tripping? I'm shocked, I say! Shocked!
Sorry to disappoint you, but this kind of behavior is not exclusive to Reddit. Lemmy has its own share of power-trip mods in some communities. I thought (wrongly) that someone that took the effort of leaving Reddit and coming here would think differently than the average Reddit mod, but I guess the allure of demonizing anyone that disagrees with you is too irresistible for them.
Who tf still uses Reddit? It's all bots and power tripping mods nowadays. Lemmy is a million times better imo.
Look, Reddit search is already a shit show. Them overhauling it whatever way can't possibly make it much worse anyway.
Paid subreddits though. I didn't know we were already in April.
That's an interesting way of writing "Reddit CEO proves there's no such thing as enough when you suffer from dragon syndrome."
I think he already got pay-to-search and AI-infiltrated subreddits.
He's just trying new combos.
They're already demanding search engines pay to search Reddit; will they have to pay even more to search paid subreddits?
To go along with your shitty AI written articles!
Mods are probably asking for paid subs. They would view it as an easy tool to prevent new spam accounts.
