Not sure if it’s just me but Reddit has been feeling a bit weird lately.
Seeing more posts about bans, shadowbans, AI stuff popping up, and even some big threads don’t really feel as “normal” or casual as they used to.
Could just be overthinking it or spending too much time here tbh.
Been messing around with a small side project called Hideout that kind of came from that feeling — just trying to make something more low pressure and simple to use, nothing big.
Anyone else noticed this or nah?
It’s also ideological thing you can fly under the radar, but my last 2 bans mentioned Theil and Tan, I don’t think it’s a coincidence.
Like I wasn’t even saying they should die, I just joked about them in a comment that also joked about death. But I guess they’re using the dumbest AI possible to process these bans.
Nope, I think you are right on point with that. I’ve seen users say they got strikes/bans and their comments removed for speaking out against any of those people and their friends and there’s clearly a push for anti-left content + some communities critical of the current American government get buried.
