Holy shit, they're killing automod for new communities. Reddit is officially dead. Not dead as in lacking in traffic. Dead as in dead internet theory
Reddit is dead. I left Reddit because for no reason every post or comment I create is immediately removed/deleted by "Reddit filters"!
I don't understand why Reddit hates Reddit so much
I get the impression some people are put in power precisely to parasite and destroy the brands and companies they inherit.
Because the RSS feeds are being used to prove everyone on the site is a bot?
How? I'm not following?
Because it was the last way to track/analyze/research Reddit posts without paying API costs.
That's really interesting. It's not like we lost much. Every time I go back the content is garbage. Lemmy has Reddit beat by a long shot.
Bullshit
