12 year old account got permabanned for telling a Nazi off. But even before this happened I’ve noticed how much reddit has dropped off the last few years compared to when I discovered it.

    Most of reddit is now a gross loop of ChatGPT shitting into its own mouth.

    Like well obver 50% of the accounts are not real people anymore, moderation is also now handled by AI.

      there was an article a while back, said 50% were bots anyways, while i was on reddit, it got noticibally quiet when reddit decided to do one of these purges.

      True but point of OP is that it used to be liberal echo chamber but that has now changed.

      Clearly Elon wants it a different way so you post anything you like as long as it fits Elon’s desired narrative.

        It didn’t start as an echo chamber. Initially it was one of the few places online a progressive minded person could go and feel like they could express their opinions openly. And by “progressive” I mean both left and right leaning ideologies.

        Which, funny enough is now a foreign concept. We call everyone on the left “progressive”, even though Biden and Kamala are clearly conservative Democrats. And we call Vance a “conservative” even though he’s clearly a progressive Republican.

          Yep, absolutely. I lean right but fucking hate Trump. On lemmy I can say that, on old reddit I could say that, on current reddit I’ll get really nasty, hateful remarks and almost zero open dialogue

          reddit holding to subs, like conservative, and a different donald sub+cospniracy, newnormal, trueunpopularopinion was a red flag.
