Ah ! so when do they roll it back ?
So he wants it to be a huge testing grounds with ai for anybody that uses it, got it.
Use the platform? You are talking with and training AI.
he wants to be facebook essentially, also like to point out that reddit bans the word facebook and FB.
Ewwww why (besides the obvious lack of moral-compass greed) would you want to be Facebook?
And we're supposed to take his word for it?
I'm guessing he hasn't browsed his own site recently then.
Probably nothing there to interest him since they banned /r/jailbait
(And bots.)
no one cares
Maybe he shouldn't have permabanned all of us power users after the Inauguration. He might have some active humans posting if he hadn't let the DOGE Goblin intimidate him into firing all of his best posters, the ones who built Reddit into what it was over the past decade. WE were Reddit, not bots, and now we're gone, and only the bots remain.
Good job, Spez.
they were already on the 4th purge by the time i was permaban in feb, from nov-5th. and then im guessing they switched to using more insidious shadowbans, so people wont notice huge drop in users at once if its done randomly by AI, and shadowbans to alert the accounts that they are banned too.
I'm glad he did, I like Lemmy so much more.
People here don’t commonly wish for your death while insulting your grandmother. It’s peaceful.
I've had something close to this coming from the good folks of hexbear when I said I was french. Apparently I am barred from talking about imperialism because of my citizenship
I hope you are enjoying life, and your grandmother is a wonderful lady.
shitddit ceo is lying
"Trust me!" says yet another capitalist.
...with AI admin and moderation. Anyone who's been banned from reddit will tell you that, hell it says as much in the message they give you. I was banned once for saying "slava ukraini" which according to my ban was a direct attack at a minority (apparently russians are a minority according to reddit bots) and then another for asking how long before citizens begin shooting at ICE agents which, again according to reddit bots, was inciting violence on a minority (ICE agents are now also a minority according to reddit).
the vast majority of posts and comments are bots. the obvious reposts with misleading titles to generate karma to allow said bots to have enough karma to then post on various other subreddits to push whatever bullshit agenda or product they want to push.
im on the forum where people are doing that, pushing thier products, and businesses. but reddit only went after these users, and not propaganda bots.
meanwhile in the average comment section there...
Fuck, can this loser just fuck off into oblivion already?? You got your money pig boi now piss off!
It’s like Zuck. Why do you keep at it? You won already. The answer is that they are deeply flawed people who needed to go into therapy decades back.
Yeah there's something deeply wrong with them
until every single comment and post has a capacha and 3factor behind it, the site will be overrun with bots... and when it does... the frustration will create a wasteland.
They were actually doing great combating bots in the past, loved reading their biannual reports on the subject, but after they partnered with AI I don't think there is any benefit of the doubt to give.
If we don’t look for bots, there aren’t any. Sounds more republican every day. If we don’t record covid deaths, there aren’t any.
Any text based sub hitting all regularly is full of AI slop and sensational stories. Wouldn't be like this is Aaron were still around.
I don't believe him.
Wow, that's a bit unfair. What has he ever done to show he's a lying, money grabbing, scummy piece of shit?
Remember how corporations are people? Well, bots can be human if you pay enough.
Really? So he's going to get rid of all the bots?
Except the ones pushing right wing propaganda.
It's really wild that the guy who co-founded Reddit is so universally hated by the users.
Talk about having completely lost touch.
He started groveling to musk, when Xitter was bought
Maybe so but he made enough money for that second yacht.
If he'd tried to nurture some goodwill, perhaps the users wouldn't so harshly reject all attempts at monetization.
Perhaps then he'd be able to afford yachts that don't look so puny next to those of other social media oligarchs and could go to bed with the satisfaction of having made a profit at least once in his life.

Pretty sure all the humans left Reddit like two years ago.
50% of all users are bots
For me it was a few hours ago. My first profile got banned for "inciting violence" cause I said "fuck trump and Obama". And just got my other account banned for inciting violence but they deleted the comment so I can't tell you what exactly I said, but it's not in my nature to actually advocate for violence.
I believe I was followed around by some trumptard, cause I'm a pretty out and loud leftist. I'm not going through the trouble of creating another one as I have been using it very infrequently since discovering boost for Android. Plus I don't want to help them pad their numbers, or be at the wim of some ai system that doesn't even read the comment and just auto bans.
Conservatives absolutely gamed the reporting system. I once got a hit for standing up for gay people (I am one) because I summarized and ridiculed someone else’s comment that was anti gay. It was a honeypot.
