slaacaaReddit decides to remove r/all
Hell this is exactly why I am here at all. I noticed it was harder and harder to use Reddit: algorithm taking over. All moving to harder to find places, and it seemed even then to be more flooded with what was recently looking at instead of just general community vibes.
I’m so tired of engagement algorithms.
Yeah I think we take for granted that the replies/posts are mostly by real people here, or at least I do. It’s like forgetting that you have to argue with your OS after using linux over windows.
I recall seeing a Reddit sub that was entirely populated by bots. The replies were nearly indistinguishable from humans. It really coloured my view of Reddit - what’s the point of engaging when I’m likely talking to lines of code?
and tends to be propaganda slop.
