  • They are very cunning. They do it in waves. Unlike yootoob, which makes it atrocious design experiments unexpectedly and forces it on everyone at once, and sometimes they go back (maybe too many problem reports, and such). Reeddoot, instead just does it in waves: first small portion of users, then they wait, until initial screams are dismissed as ‘a few users got affected, must be a random glitch/bug’. After it is calm again, then the next part of users is affected. same thing happens. And they use this tactic until majority are affected, and last resisters are already seen as ‘technophobes’, ‘special snowflakes’, ‘grampas’, ‘exotic OS users’, etc They boil users slowly. Mark my words - reeddoot will come to phone numbers being obligatory, then IDs being obligatory, then giving away your info to Law authorities, then to secret services, finally might end up with just selling it to any criminal clan.


  • Reddit was unuseable long before bots. Having an opinion, even correct and smart, against a mob, meant you get downvotes, noone will see it buried down, and you karma will drop low. Low karma prevents you from posting in many subs. So yeah, you become soft-locked banned, and your only option is to delete your comment (which is nothing but coercion and cult method of indoctrination). I had MAJOR insane revelations when sites like undiddit, reveddit, removeddit and the like were still operational. Reddit always lies it only removes trolls, harrassment, illegal stuff etc, but that’s a minor fraction. A lot of multi-paragraph, solid literary language posts were removed, when the arguments they made were against the topic starter OP, and against the mob, and maybe the mod opinions as well. So, yeah, it was a clear view through a back wall through a window into reddit’s messy kitchen. Now they, OF COURSE, destroyed that opportunity to hide their evildoing.



  • How can you tell? Not attacking, just curious. I never could tell, well maybe if usernames are all oddly similarly patterned, and even than, I can’t be sure it’s not some app/program that hands out those ids when you register in it, as people sometimes can be too lazy to come up with a meaningful username. Short comments can also be made by dumb humans, long posts can be written by modern Artificial Idiot. 20 years ago, I could tell spam post, cause they all were literally either identical to each other, or at least totally ignored context and never responded to questions. Now I am not sure at all. Definitely some people are less eloquent than AI.
