I wish we could see up/downvotes like in the past. I think reddit may be artificially boosting some posts into the front page. You can see in the screenshot it has very little upvotes (or older) compared to the other top 4 posts.
I have no evidence other than noticing right after the election, /r/conservative seems to be hitting the front page every day. But I remember before the election, it only hit the front page once in a blue moon or so. Is this just me? Am I the only one noticing this?
6k comments, flaired users only? Sus.
i don’t miss those +1k comment threads, scrolling them gets annoying, also, i recused from commenting if there was already +150, otherwise was like talking to the void
Its interesting that on lemmy almost everyone gets some kind of upvote/downvote (interaction) whereas on reddit and other sites, you either get viral success or…nothing. No upvotes/downvotes no interactions. My theory is the algorithm + number of people de-humanizes the act of communication in such large communities.
i used to sort by r/new for years, i learned what mods liked to take down, so i didn’t waste time on those post, then make some funny/attempt-to-clever comment and watched raise to the front page as top comment, it was like playing a video game for me
I enjoyed the void, commenting into the void was my favorite pastime til I did it on an alt and got autopermbanned, some thread with thousands of comments and it instabanned all my alts and main account
It really helped the adhd, helped the anxiety knowing no one would probably see it or reply
It’s where all the ML Wumao flocked. They killed the Democratic Party, now they’re going after the republicans. They don’t care about Gaza, it’s all about starting an American civil war.
I feel like the Democratic Party did a lot of this to themselves. They’ve been stepping on rakes for a while now.
I can’t argue with that. But the genocide Joe chant spread far and wide, meanwhile the creators of it knew very well what a Trump win would accomplish.
You think those saying the dems aren’t left enough went to reddit to be conservatives???
Is that what you interpreted from my comment? Really? Like, no joking, your comprehension skills arrived at this?
It always annoyed me when a post reached the front page and they limited who was allowed to comment on it. I usually didn’t even know what sub I was in until after I typed my comment and clicked submit. Followed by auto mod deleting my post.
I forgot how much I hated that about Reddit. Good riddance.
