I know Reddit now has a stupid rule or policy about new accounts posting or commenting. They punish new users for just trying to have a conversation. Why does Reddit hate privacy? Is it just in the system trying to filter out bots? Well, it is doing a shitty job since bots are still a high percentage there. Reddit banned me, even when I was on the new user friendly subs. I tried with multiple locations with a VPN too. This has to make people go to other platforms. Like I did, I moved here.
Punishing human users and rewarding the bots. How tragic…
The majority of traffic on reddit is bots. Its scary that its getting harder to tell. They’re probably sticking AI chat bots in there too.
I assume over 50% of users on there are bots.
I received notice of replies to some posts of mine of FOUR years ago. I assume bots scraping the barrel.
I had a guy reply to my 8 year old post once, seemed legit
Sometimes people revive ghost threads from google searches.
Me too. And in the political subs, I’ve read estimates it’s more like 80-90%. Tho it’s impossible to know for sure what the % is.
I don’t know what would stop lemmy from the same fate or worse. Just a matter of time.
