I tried ot login last week, was able to with the same email and password but it acted like I was a new user. So it created an entirely new account.
On a session I was still logged in I changed my email and password and I ended getting banned on that account.
Really weird and I gues it's time to delete my main Reddit account
They're banning or shadowbanning people almost arbitrarily, they don't want more human users than bots, they can control the narratives and conversations and public sentiment with a turn of a dial if they get enough bots who seem like convincing human users to all chime in about something.
You can really see the disonnence on a major post criticizing Elon Musk or on the topic of vandalizing Teslas. The posts are all highly voted, but the top comments are all crying and whining that Musk "doesn't deserve the hate" or how "vandals should be put in jail, we obey the law in this country!" and a lot of other very obvious oligarch fellation machines.
It works very well too. People always look to each other for cues, and if the people they look to aren't even alive, we have a generation being led by undead abominations, being influenced to discard their critical thought, their morals and ethics, their values.
That sounds almost conspiratorial. How many people know of Reddit, use it, then automatically follow the narrative? Like out of the total population?
LOL it's been a decade since Jessica Ashoosh.
Just bcs you're ignorant about these things and throw conspiracy accusations around doesn't mean it's not reality.
Look someting up.
Something happened a decade ago to a single person. Therefore it follows it affects millions now in ways that persuade me my world view is correct.
I see.
You clearly have no idea who or what that is about, I'm going to let it rest since you look really stupid as it is.
Reddit gets half a billion browsers a month. They announced last year that they would be partnering with Google to train and host a new generation of AI, and we also know now that people like Elon Musk have no qualms about enforcing their agendas on the site.
The number one way to filter the plausibility of conspiracy theories is to ask one simple question: How does this impact the rich?
For the vast majority of normal kook conspiracies, they fall apart almost immediately when you apply that filter. They have way too much to lose to risk gambles on covering up moon landings and flying saucers or perpetrating huge hoaxes that need a vast contingent of people involved to maintain. Meanwhile, social engineering... that's easy as shit, you can do it alone if you have the resources. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. It starts simple with "Hmn I want to make people realize that investing in my company is a smart move" but quickly degrades to "We can't let people think this genocide is bad, it will wreck our bottom line."
Wouldn't for it to be conspiratorial mean there has to be a secret organization behind the scenes? I thought Reddit and X admit to doing this.
