Oh that's nice.
One of the last websites you could ever browse freely without an account has fallen.
I fucking HATE the modern internet.

Is there actually anything interesting left on Reddit? There’s no real, organic content there anymore. Reddit is one of the most synthetic platforms out there. It’s just bots and human users who act like bots, basically just like X.

none that I can find, I have been using Chatgpt to suggest obscure subreddits but it's all basically just the same shit you expect. Worse if a niche community gets a negative reputation then it's nothing but spam from the main communities rage baiting and sperging out. Anything interesting worth reading gets locked, deleted, removed etc. Anyone with a unique interesting take gets either auto banned, manually banned, downvoted so hard the mods just delete the comment and/or whole account etc.

My take is this is just a female social media platform now. It's just to talk about your feelings, who you're dating, who you want to date, cute animals, how unfair the world is to you, how mean your parents are, what you put in your cunt last night etc. I think it's like 85% women there now which explains this consensus worship and constant over-moderation of everything. I can just use a chatbot and have more authentic, interesting and useful convos with it than any redditor. I don't see a usecase if you're not a woman/tranny/porn addict

No. The only thing its useful for is the aformentioned port and patch notes for games you play unless you can dig up where every game dev puts their patch notes (some on websites, some on discord, etc)
There's no point in investing in an account since that can be taken away at random.
People ask a lot of questions that can be answered via Google search (which of course has reddit as a place for answers) or you can try to network (which isn't worth the effort due to bots)
It really should be put out of its misery.

reddit hoarder here, which subreddits are actually worth saving into an archive? Im particularly looking for ones where the pics, videos, etc. might be worth referencing in the future. guides, infographs, etc.. porn is not good enough for archival.
>>
To make a proper replacement you need to do three things: 1, avoid persistent user accounts. The reward for 'points' and reputation is trash. 4ch's single best feature is persistent id's within a singel thread but not elsewhere. 2. aggressively ban all degenerate content, porn, etc. this keeps a lot of problems away. normal people who want to see some tit pics can find them elsewhere. 3. range ban India

>>109358782
The problem with enshittifying and getting rid of reddit is that the primary replacement is discord, which is a million times worse.
Searching shit with google hasn't been reliable in years and despite being dogshit reddit has more use than just game patches, it's good for getting a quick crash course and compiled legitimate information on random shit without having to wade through ai slop and undisclosed ad listicles. Diet, health, and hygiene subreddits in particular are good about this. Some communities are only accessible through it if you don't want to use discord.
The minute it's fully account-locked it's fucked though and the only mainstream website left that isn't a walled garden will be 4chan, which is also dying. Shit's grim.

Only hyper niche subreddits. The general reddit community is gay and retarded, and I first hand watched my only reason to use the site turn to shit when the subreddit got more and more popular. Deleted my account and haven't touched the shit since.

I'm am not an expert on this, but isn't hosting your own VPN not a great idea? Let's say if you are a person of interest (terrorist,activist,drug dealer) you get the gist, you always hear VPN companies getting hit with warrants from LE to comply with investigations, doesn't that also apply to self hosted VPNs? Assuming you are a person committing crimes.

The highest engagement subs are all snarksubs and stuff like popculturechat. Last I heard 1/3rd of Reddit's users were women, but I'm sure they punch above their weight for engagement and Reddit is clearly catering to that demographic.

You really have to learn to just not use social media. Social media is entirely controlled to protect children, so adults suffer. Every social media platform has some type of built-in age verification system that is very invasive. Instagram will actually scan your phone or google/apple account to make sure the age you put into it matches the age you put in on the platform when signing up. They all use AI moderation systems as well, like a big "EYE IN THE SKY" so you're always being watched big brother style.

Meta got hit with a $375,000,000 fine for child endangerment back in March, so now it's heavily policed. Discord was using Persona and got such heavy backlash that they had to delay their ID rollout, though I never kept up with that story, so I don't know if they switched companies or what? But I figured they still rolled some ID verification system out. If you want to use Reddit, TikTok, Facebook, Discord, or Instagram. You will have to verify your age.

Twitter is the only platform I'm aware of that doesn't require you to verify your age or censor anything. I also agree with OP that it does suck that you need to make an account for pretty much anything now. You can't just browse freely. They want you to make an account for browsing. Why? Probably because they want to track your information and see what you're doing, typing, watching, how long you're watching, etc. It's data that they use for advertising and marketing that they use to enhance the system, or see what people spend more time watching and looking at.

Again...it's all just invasive. I suppose everything is invasive nowadays. You won't get away from it. AI has just further advanced the "Big Brother" ideology. Hell, I read something about certain AI cameras being used in California, I think? Or the police were using them, and I think they finally got banned after so much backlash and outrage from citizens and some politicians. We had something similar in my town that got taken down.

I used to browse/like Reddit like 5-10 years ago. It was somewhat fun and killed my boredom when I doomscrolled for hours and commented on stuff. Despite the hate it gets on 4chan I figured a lot of people on here browse it or used it at one point in time. The only real reason I left it was because 95% of subreddits are run by retarded fat dictator NEETS who ban you for the stupidest shit and each subreddit has 100 rules. A lot of them are "hugboxes" and users who have been on the subreddit for years feel like the moderators are their friends and will cry when things don't go their way.
>>
Redlib still working for them

Redditors are retarded anyway, even in the tech subs, people with little knowledge will get upvoted along as they phrase it like they are an expert.
I was just reading a thread where the third most upvoted comment didn't know the difference between asymmetric and Symmetric encryption

>>109365983
>Twitter is the only platform I'm aware of that doesn't require you to verify your age or censor anything
They've started to roll this out quite aggressively. Reason why i pretty much stopped using it entirely. Providing a phone number or a verified email is apparently not enough anymore.

>but they are not in fact bots and they are not third worlders either
Fucking kek you probably visited that place in 2019 at the latest. Reddit is full of jeets and bots. Tons of jeet subreddits show up in /r/all all the time, and they also shit up non-jeet subreddits as well.
Other than jeets, it is very common for people to post in any language they want, and the auto translate just makes it seem like a regular post in English, unless you are on the "old." version and then you see random comments in French, Spanish, German, and Russian. Jeets at least have the decency to talk in English, but they still use a jeet word here and there.
Bots are there as well, but they are mostly just karma farming reposters, or heavily downvoted replies that usually get deleted as well. A bigger problem than the bots is the amount of genuine posts or comments that were obviously written up by an LLM. The author genuinely is a human but it is obvious he is posting somehting an LLM shat out from his prompt.

I'm glad they did this. I used to browse the neovim subreddit while on the shitter and now I don't.
YouTube did this to me too. I used to watch tons of video every day. Like multiple hours total. And ever since they started asking me to sign in I go to their site significantly less.
I don't know why they're trying to push users away since they still get advertisement money and their usage stats go up too, but that's their choice. I'm finally free, by their force.
