Screenshots of reddit.com/r/all on mobile as it appeared immediately after loading (did not scroll), taken at 12:34 and 12:40 PST; look what suddenly disappeared from the #1 post spot! That’s a rather specific “server error”…
I happened to take the first screenshot (12:34) because I thought it was suspicious enough that they were suddenly dealing with an unspecified “error” right as bad news about the site hit the top of r/all. Then a few minutes later (~12:38) the site didn’t load at all. A few minutes after that, the bad press post is gone from r/all. If you go to the post now (https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/1jl6smd/elon_musk_pressured_reddits_ceo_on_content/), it says “Sorry, this post has been removed by the moderators of r/politics” (marked as “off-topic”).
how in the fuck is a post about that “off-topic”? Fucking sell outs.
sell outs
Well, yes. That’s entirely the point. It started years ago with the quarantining of fringe subs like WPD or Spacedicks, followed by allowing extremist subs like T_D to continue unfettered. Those were red flags many recognized, and Spez made it plainly obvious he was planning on commercializing Reddit and wanted a platform for advertisers. He didn’t lie about that, it was openly stated. Those events were followed up by cramming the Reddit app down our throats, the closing of the API, removing mods and communities protesting Reddit actions, the cleanup of anti-Spez art on /place, forcing ads into the feed, etc., etc. Now we have tacit support of censorship in support of an oligarch.
IOW complaining that Reddit “sold out” is a bit late. It happened a while ago. Now they’re licking the boot
At this point, being banned from reddit is a badge of honour.
I’m honoured to be near you.
I still have 3 unbanned, high karma accounts that I don’t use anymore. One day I might need them to do a thing.
I had been planning on deleting my… I think 15 year old account? that I haven’t touched since baconreader stopped working but hadn’t pulled the trigger yet because I put so much work into those years of posts. But, you make a good point. I may need it for a thing someday.
Dang, I removed my account before the bans started flying.
I did have to re-delete a lot of comments very often, and then the bulk deletion app was suddenly enshittified
Eventually the comic will be removed too
I still get on reddit, but I just read I don’t vote or contribute in any way. I noticed today that anything critical of trump or his administration was having a difficult time loading, but yet non-trump related content loaded just fine.
Totally not suspicious.
Write a review of Reddit on the App Store saying about people being silenced. Reddit can’t remove it unless you write something offensive
ive seen that happen before, on the anniversary of 9/11 a few years back, some guy posted a video of the retaliatory bombings, and it was removed pretty quick just like this. no trace.
I had already deleted my reddit apps on my phone and such before switching over to Lemmy. But now that I see Muskrat directly going after reddit similarly to how he did with Twitter, I went ahead and deleted all my accounts. Fuck that place.
Literally standard server errors man
Reddit hides posts you’ve already viewed
That, along with hide on up or downvote, is a account setting, and iirc isn’t on by default.
I believe the algorithm skips already seen posts so that you don’t see them again, whether this is on or off
why is the /r/comics post still there then?
Because it wasn’t seen. As you can see, the texted isn’t gray, but white
It could have changed in the last year (I left in late 2023 personally) but I don’t think thats the case, also the other comic would have disappeared too if it was.
The comic post is still shown as it wasn’t viewed, indicated by it’s white title rather than gray title
I got mysteriously site wide banned without any warning. Only been warned once on the platform and never been suspended. I believed I was following the reddit TOS and guidelines but was banned for "violating “multiple rules.”
I have never been alerted about it by reddit ever what content of mine violated their site wide rules. I hope the admins here are more fair and actually respond to requests than using AI and algorithm and ignoring requests about wrongful suspension.
Did reddit team just start to hand out banhammers to accounts randomly? My alt was banned and then my main one was banned hours later. It was just a generic message not really telling me what content of mine violated their site wide rules.
Well it says the ban was due to content on your other account, so maybe check the message in there? It’s not that big of a mystery
I have that same message in both accounts. i even reached out to reddit support for more information when my appeal was denied for both accounts. Still awaiting to hear back.
Server errors are nothing new for reddit
It has gotten more & more tame & lame over there as the bots take over.
I scoured every pixel on every panel of that comic for several minutes OP.
I made a post on antiwork yesterday about all the additional comments underneath the top comments that just don’t exist when you go to expand them. Made a screen grab video of it. In one case it said there were 48 comments but you open them and nothing then you scroll to the end it said 458 comments and there were like maybe 40-50 it’s ridiculous what a corporate bootlicking shithole reddit now obviously is. At least it was better hidden before.
Picture of reddit, server error. Obviously.
