Reddit is considered one of the most human spaces left on the internet, but mods and users are overwhelmed with slop posts in the most popular subreddits.

    I used to have a reddit account and truly enjoyed it - but I quit when it became obvious that most of the site is simply run by bots that aim to stir the pot and divide people. I still read various reddit posts - but there is no longer any real knowledge to be gained. Mostly, I now just experience frustration, mistrust, and disappointment.

        I suppose it’s the way of so many sites: Initially, they pursue some higher goal, which attracts users. Once people start participating en masse, the focus quickly shifts and it becomes all about making money - which is fine as long as there is a balance. They lose out once the scales tip too much in the direction of profit while the initial purpose becomes more of an afterthought.

    Let’s be real…Reddit itself is moderated by AI.

    People who moderate subs should be called “hall monitors” or something. It’s rare to find moderators who are actually moderating with impartiality, rather that being petty and taking sides. They also have tools to exploit the Reddit auto-mod system.

    It was enshitified ages ago.

      There’s no point in taking moderation seriously. It’s a volunteer position and the tools to handle slop aren’t there.

      I hear they’re bringing back digg.

      I also hear it’s a former Reddit C-suite that’s bringing it back, so it’ll probably be more of the same.

    Reddit was the good place after the fall of Digg 2.0. Now Reddit has become the bad place.

    When the admins started getting marching order to squash any and all talks of making the rich accountable for their crimes against humanity, it was ruined. Even hint at an uprising and you get banned.
