When i stumble over reddit these days and start reading a comment thread, i almost always encounter this kind of comments, mostly in the most interesting part of the thread:
hard-to-find subtract rhythm fly shelter crush historical ancient cough smell
This post was mass deleted and anonymized with Redact
It’s fucking annoying and frustrating.
This destroys the thing that made Reddit good. Coherent discussions that went somewhere, good or bad.
So, it really is working.
I know that this is the intended effect of erasing reddit contributions made in the past.
Make it so, that they shouldn’t be able to sell Reddit’s content anymore, because the solutions to problems or the nail biting stories within comment threads are mostly broken and/or incomplete.
Given how Reddit betrayed their user base, this is the way - imo
Remember forums? They were amazing sources of information. They’re falling offline, because Reddit and discord. Now reddit and discord are enshittifying. I hope that redacting posts like that helps bring visibility to normal people, but I fear it’s not. Especially because ai scraped it already.
im still using forums for certain things, but it wont be aggregate like before reddit. only niche. theres even one about social media/bans and evading it.
What forum is that? A permaban over something really dumb with a power tripping mod is how I’ve ended up here.
