I assume someone’s deleting critical news articles there, or having bot armies downvote them. On Kbin and Lemmy and Squabbles, even on Google News, I see Reddit’s woes front and center.
Maybe its just the subs I ftontpage, but my Reddit front-page is pretty full of it.
I wouldn’t be shocked if there were keywords or sites being critical or mentioning Reddit getting botvoted or just shadow banned outright.
What do you expect? Reddit at this point is the digital equivalent of a totalitarian dictatorship. Just without the mass murder aspect. Not that u/spez wouldn’t be on board with that if he could.
I mean it’s even hard to find some content not related to Reddit here imo.
I wish people would just move on and just post something else. Trying to upvote things that are original content in the ssort by new feed, hopefully it will envolve
@whyNotSquirrel I agree with you generally, even though I think it makes sense there’s still a lot of Reddit-related news, given this is all going down right now. What honestly bothers me more is when I see a wall of posts that are just about the forum/site/server I’m on, e.g. on Squabbles I swear half the front page at any given time is just users praising the site admin or suggesting new features. I get it, but I feel like the sign of a healthy online community is seeing people posting a variety of interesting content on different topics and having engaged discussions about them. That’s why I’ve been coming to Kbin more and more.
It has taken over r/technology basically
